Quote:I will gladly take 1-2 mistakes a year from a coach over 15 years if you give me 4 sbs, and however many playoff appearances(I think 11?). Either way when you are 12-2 you can afford to have a little faith in your defense. Back to the point, if Gus posts a 4 win season next year he will have 16 wins in 64 tries, assuming we finish 5-11. A .25 Win rate!

 

FUN FACT: If Gus were to average 10 wins a season from now on, it would take a whopping 6, yes SIX years to eclipse a .500 win% mark overall, and a 9-7 record in his 7th season to finish at a.506 win rate.

Even @ 11 per, it wouldn't be until year 5 until Gus has over .500 as a coach, all to cover up the first 3 years of Gusball.

 

Tom wouldn't come with him.  

 

Brian Billick was hired as an offensive genius.  He was given credit for Randal cunningham, chris Carter and Randy Moss.  Baltimore got the coach but the hall of famers didn't come with him.  He called the same plays, put in the same effort, had the same sense of accountability but gosh darn it Tony Banks just wasn't the same kind of guy.  As a result, the team was dominated by its defense.  

 

Our secondary is trash, aside from House they don't have ball skills.  Our Dline can't rush the passer.  You can call cover 3 cover 2 cover 4 blitz single high whatever.  none of that crap matters when the ball is in the air.  

 

We only have 3 picks in the first three rounds a year.  We spent the majority of them on the foundations for our explosive offense and most of those have been successful.  Now we have to build the d.  

 

I don't like it anymore than anyone here, but at the same time i recognize that if Gratz can't win when the ball is in the air then we eventually just have to find someone else.
