Quote:Just Remember, in 2002 Tom Coughlin looked bad as a coach, he had a quote to the effect of "the talent level on the expansion team of '95 is better than the roster we have at the moment, yes i truly believe that" in 1999 with actual players they were 14-2 and on the cusp of the Super Bowl. now is coughlin a bad coach? the 2 superbowls in New York would suggest he's not. I don't think Bradley's a bad coach I think we need to give him more pieces. If you were asked to play Chess with a King, 3 pawns, a knight and asked to take on an opponent with a full board of pieces, you'd lose almost every time unless you get real creative and play mistake free (which isn't possible with the youth on this squad)

 

I say we keep Bradley, he can coach the technique and tell a player what to do and when he's in their ear they're probably pristine in practice, but he can't make them execute on the field when the lights are on. The fact is that Players WANT!!!! to play for Bradley, his culture has a reputation. Mack wanted to sign here (and probably will when he opts out after this season) I think Bruce Irvin is out of Seattle (they don't have the cap space to retain him) and Bradley as his first coach and having the same scheme he's run his entire career to this point. it makes sense on paper and we have the cap space to do it. not a lot of players sign up to go to a place with a lot of turmoil and turnover. Gus was the coach we needed to put together an environment where NFL players wanted to work despite losing and underperformance. I think he deserves another year at the very least.

 

Also on Myers. Scobee was rather shaky as a rookie, i remember him missing chip shots and other easy makes early on in his career. Myers has leg and can hit from distance, he's a rookie and still has nerves. let him settle down and work on it, we could make out like bandits on the kid if he can get a rhythm down going into next season. If we're in a position to draft Roberto Aguayo from Florida State then im not opposed to it, best kicker in the NCAA and i'm all for competition/accountability. but i think we're being hasty, patience will let us grow and be deadly. Imagine some of those mid 2000's teams if we had Coughlin (nothing agaisnt Del Rio of course)

 

That chess analogy is great except when the other offense is just as talent deficient as your defense, yet they put up prolific numbers and look unstoppable. I have no problem getting steamrolled by good offenses, but to get destroyed by a rookie QB is something else. Dont even get me started on that 40 year old qb, or ej manuel, or another rookie qb in winston, or injured Fitz. The pattern of making currently so so QBs look as good as your franchise QB is pathetic.
