You could say the same thing about Coughlin? Everyone here thinks he walks on water, but a lot of that team was already built before he got there.

I think results have shown some head coaches, like Reid, manage to groom QBs into success, and some don't. I want a Reid, not a guy that acts tough in press conferences but who has never had a prospect show growth under him.

McDaniels is a great example of this, he's managed to win with guys like Cassell and Brissette, I've only seen Tomlinson win with a future Hall of famer that someone else groomed.

He's developed plenty of guys on that roster. They end up a receivers factory, in particular. And their GM often lets those guys walk, and boom, the next guy is just as much a threat. That's a damn good system to have in place if you have a great QB at the helm.

Are you telling me it's a strike against him that he came to a team with an HOF QB in place, and they didn't give him a chance to replace him with his own developmental prospect?
IIRC he was a DC with the Vikes before he took the PIT job, so it's a bit of a reach to think that he'd be the ideal prospect to develop your QB.
