Gus needs to go immediately
|
Quote:So let me understand this. The first team Jags played nearly as horribly as they possibly coudl during the first half against a team that many people around the nation think is a Super Bowl Contender. Yet given how horribly they played that half, they were only down 14-3. Well there's the bright side. By projecting your rosy view out to an entire game, the Jags would have only lost by 20-14 had the starters played the entire game. Quote:On top of all that, this is a preseason game that did not count. I'm willing to bet Roy Miller would have played if it were regular season. So one player makes all the difference? The Jags can't compensate for the lack of one decidedly average player? I'm pretty sure some key starter will be injured over the course of this season. Does Gus get another year if (say) Telvin Smith were injured? Note also that the Bengals played without their two best CBs, their top two TEs, and I think they were missing a starting OT too. Quote:The Jags only play 4 teams all season with realistic aspirations of deep playoff runs (Packer, Chiefs, Broncos, & Vikings) and most of those teams are more flaws/holes than the Bengals. Even if they bomb those 4 games and play well in the other 12 games, they will get to the playoffs. "Deep playoff runs?" You are limiting it to "deep playoff runs?" Why not just say the Jags only play one team that won the Superbowl last year, wouldn't that be an even better way to spin your point? I'm pretty sure Houston and Indy both expect to make the playoffs. The Ravens were a projected Superbowl team last year before being decimated by injuries, they could bounce back this year and have a "deep playoff run." I only see four easy games, two against the tacks, plus the Bears and Lions. Quote:Does firing Gus Bradley now solve anything? Absolutely not. It would just means Olsen or Wash steps in, and it would still be the same systems and players, just a different mentality from the HC. Given that Gus has in no way lost the team, why start that now? On this I agree. We're stuck with Gus for another year. It's too late to change that now. Maybe next year we'll get a coach who can actually win with this very strong squad Caldwell has assembled. Hopefully the young (defensive) players haven't been ruined by lack of development at that point. "Why should I give information to you when all you want to do is find something wrong with it?" |
