Quote:What are you talking about people rationalizing?


Let's start from the beginning:


Here are the facts (premises):


1. David Caldwell is a superior judge of talent.

2. The Defense was the problem last year.

3. Gus Bradley is a defensive-minded coach.

4. David Caldwell signed Gus Bradley to an extension.

5. David Caldwell - in one offseason - has completely over hauled the defensive roster.


Ok, let's back it up again. Why was the defense so bad last year?


You have three choices: 1) talent is inadequate 2) coaching is adequate or 3) both are inadequate


Given what David Caldwell has chosen to do this offseason, which of those three options do you feel it is most likely he agrees with?


The facts point to option 1. Plain and simple.


Now, if you think you know better, well, that's on you.

 

You've chosen your own set of facts and ignored all others as you always do.

 

In your premise #3, you are implying that Bradley is a "successful" defensive minded coach.  Most have assumed that he is responsible for the success of the Seattle Defense.  However, the facts are they they further improved after he left.  It's also just as plausible (and more likely) that Pete Carroll and John Schneider are responsible for their success.

 

There are no facts yet (going into his 4th year as our HC) to support that success has followed Bradley. 

 

All of your speculations are ignorant and devoid of any objectivity whatsoever. 

 

Most here are rather objective and at a minimum understand that it's time for Bradley to put up or shut up.  Many believe that he has shown enough that he will not be successful as an NFL HC and is past his tenure.  And then a very few (you) believe that he should rival Belichik for coach of the year.

 

If you're going to debate/discuss here, at least bring some legitimate rationale, logic, facts and objectivity.
