Quote:I think too many people here are blaming Bortles while we are getting beat consistently by teams that have washed up retreads behind center.  Why?  Because better coaching staffs are "coaching up" their team/players they way they're supposed to.  They are capitalizing their teams' strengths and minimizing their weaknesses.  They are putting their players in a position to win.  They are doing the right things in the off-season to get the best out of each player.

 

Have you ever watched "A Football Life" on Tom Coughlin?  The dude was mega critical on every fine detail, especially with QBs.  He'd coach the QBs for perfect foot position, mechanics, etc.  This staff does nothing of that sort.  Bortles may not be a franchise QB but he would definitely be better under a better coaching staff.

 

Stop passing the buck, Gus sucks.  You'll see a lot of our players flourish if we get a real coach and staff in here.

 

Nice theory. Too bad you have no idea if any of it is true. Are you in the locker room at halftime? You are there during practice? Probably not.

 

It's so easy and simplistic to say Gus Bradley, Gus Bradley, Gus Bradley.

 

Also easy to say Coughlin, Coughlin, Coughlin.

 

Have you not watched the games? Have you not watched Bortles? Did you not watch the Giants the last three years under Coughlin?

 

I think you might be passing the buck. Bradley is obviously gone. But 1999 Tom Coughlin won't win six games unless he gets better QB play.
