Quote:While I agree, I'm not sure we can deny Gus' impact on young guys. They really seem to love him(more so than JDR) and he attracts talent with his infectious personality. Hearing Jack and Ramsey speak about Gus, and how Bortles often talks about Gus, it would be hard to cut a guy who has such an impact. That's why I'm really rooting for him. I know they don't like to put a # on it, but Gus has to at least get us a 7-9 - 9-7 season. There are no excuses with the talent we have.

 

Every child loves fun uncle more than a taskmaster father. Gus is that fun uncle, and so far his results have matched that description. Taskmaster father Coughlin got real results, and it didn't take four seasons for it to happen.

 

How is the idea Gus is attracting talent still a thing around here, sure didn't work with Olivier Vernon, did it? You talking about Gearhart? Is that what you call "talent"?

 

If anyone has attracted talent it's been Khan with his generous wielding of a check signing pen.
