The inexperience tag is getting to be a nauseating excuse. The players drafted last year are now going into game 27 for Pete's sake and if correlating this to their college experience would put them in year 3 of their career. Being in the wrong position, running the wrong routes, missing assignments, etc. should have been cleaned up by now with good coaching.

But but but.... Year 3! The youth movement will be gone and the team will be competing!

It may be nauseating to you, but it's also the truth. It is what it is. Calling it an excuse is just a rationalization to help you deal with it. Whatever gets you through the night dude.

I'm condescending. That means I talk down to you.

How many games would you say it takes to gain reasonable experience?

 

Just curious.

If you like your coach, you can keep your coach, if you like your win-loss record, you can keep your win-loss record.

That's awesome. Lol

I will be shocked if he is fired in the middle of next year regardless of what happens. Based on comments from Shad and Caldwell it is clear they understood that the rebuild period would be painful and they were willing to stay committed to the plan. Changing course mid-flight would be reactive and a bad sign.

 

Year three is mid flight of a rebuilding plan?  I really hope not.

---

If he does get fired it will be after next year. Not in the middle of the year. makes no sense to do that

It's not year 3 yet.  It's about halfway through year 2.

Depends on the position.  For QBs it takes about 30 to 50 games depending on the player.  For DBs it probably takes about 2 or 3 years.

and with that question, the defenders of the "lack of experience" excuse go deathly silent........

When you get into the endzone, act like you've been there before.

Yeah and the people who think 10 games is plenty of experience keep chirping up.  At least until the objects of critique go to the pro-bowl anyway.  LOL

If we start 0-8 next year, he's clearly not the right guy.

 

Cut your losses right then and there.  Any extra games that the wrong coach has on this team is wasted time.

so when will we stop hearing "inexperience" as one of the reasons we're losing so much?

As usual the answer is more complicated then a simple one liner.  In general, since the team is the youngest in the league, I would expect them to take about 3 years to start to come into their own.  This can be mitigated a little bit by adding some quality vets.

   If it takes 2+ years for a DB to learn NOT to let a receiver wander around in the end zone without an escort, he's probably not the right guy for the job.

Haha, so any rookie who is not able to play like a vet is a bust.  Riiiight.

You realize these guys didn't just start playing football for the first time this summer, don't you?  Last week I watched a college game and sometimes the DB's even guarded the receivers, just like they do in the NF!

Pro football is a different game.  How many times do you have to be told this by the guys that actually play in the league?

How they are 4-6 in that division is beyond me. Thats the sign of a good coach. Not someone who is going 1-9 in the terrible AFC South.

We've played one AFC South game.

 LOL.  Why don't you tell me exactly what DB's do in the NFL that they don't do in college that is so complicated it takes 2 plus years to learn. 

 

The level of competition is greatly elevated, the other players are bigger, stronger, faster and more talented than those in college, but it's the same game.
