Quote:Clearly, there is a huge gap between what great coaching staffs (i.e. Patriots) do with players and what other teams (i.e. Jaguars) do regarding developing players.  The Pats (and other teams) do a great job of making something out of nothing or squeezing every ounce of production out of potential.  The Jags have been horrible lately in that area.

 

There is a lot of value in "coaching 'em up."

 

I also think this ties into what culture is within an organization.  The Pats for example, have a team first philosophy.  If you're a player just looking to get paid then they let you walk.  Aside from Brady, most of their players could be considered above average or average but not "superstars."  But they have a team full of above average players that are all into playing like a team.  This is what breeds championships, obviously.
