Is Belief in Player Development Extinct?

Quote:Book reports of excuses. To say well, it is the coaches jobs to change everything.


Then you undermine all the college ones and high school ones.


To say, Give Bortles a better line and running game. And he will magically be a franchise player?


You in essence say, Big Ben, Manning, Brady, and a boat load of others. Should of stunk too. They did not.


And had less to work with then we currently do. And made it work.


 
Not sure how I missed this, but I have to address this point.

 

How in the world can you argue any of the guys listed above had less to work with than Bortles?!?

 

When Big Ben was a rookie in 2004, he had Jerome Bettis, Hines Ward, Alan Faneca, Marvel Smith and Jeff Hartings on offense, James Farrior and Joey Porter and Troy Polamalu on defense, and guys like Bill Cowher coaching.

 

The second Peyton Manning set foot in Indy, he had LT Tarik Glenn blocking for him (better than any OL we have had in the last 3 years), WR Marvin Harrison catching his passes (better than any WR we have now) and RB Marshall Faulk running the ball (better than any RB we have).  Since then, they added guys like Edgerrin James (better than any RB we had in the Bortles era), Reggie Wayne, and Dallas Clark (better than any TE we've had).

 

Worst to 1st.  Curse Reversed!
