1. Stop trying to prove you’re smarter than everyone else and understand it hurts the team more than helps it.
2. Focus on defense. You turned around the 2002 mess in one offseason so it’s doable and this defense at least has a few good pieces to it.
3. Get a bridge and a young QB prospect to work with. Finding the heir to Brady isn’t done overnight and admit the lottery ticket you have (Stidham) is not a winner.
Why supposedly smart people keep pushing this BS theory that BB is "trying to prove he's smarter than everyone"? You have ZERO proof of that. You're talking about a guy who has breathed Football for 55+ years, learning from some of the best in the business. He has NEVER stopped learning and expanding his knowledge. BB knows what it takes for teams to WIN. He knows that it's proper coaching and proper execution in all 3 phases of the game. He also knows that you had to make do with what you have. That you can only do so much to account for injuries. You're acting like BB did nothing to try and improve the team THIS YEAR. You also seem to have forgotten that he's been able to get the most of of quite a few players who just hadn't panned out while playing for other teams. Players such as Vrable, Compton, Neal, Patten, Ninkovich, Van Noy, etc, etc.
Does BB make mistakes? Yep. He's human. Do players fail to live up to expectations? Yep. Happens all the time all across the league. The difference is that BB has been able to get more out of other players to cover for the inconsistencies than most other head coaches. BB rarely makes the same mistake twice. And he's made a habit of moving on from players before they have "fallen off the cliff" rather than after.
You're probably one of those people who claimed Aaron Rodgers was a bust because he sat for 3 seasons behind Favre despite being the 24th overall pick. He played in a total of 7 games, starting NONE.. Why? Because he wasn't ready during the 1st two seasons and during the 3rd one, Favre wasn't ready to give up the reigns. So, if it takes 2-3 seasons for one of the better 1st round QBs to be ready to start, why do you think Stidham is a bust already? And it's not like Rodgers lit things up his first 2 seasons going 9/16 and 6/15 respectively. If you don't think Favre had some stinkers in there and that there weren't calls for Rodgers to be playing, you don't know anty GB fans. Ands No. I'm not saying that Stidham is the next Rodgers. I'm saying that you giving up on him after 2 seasons is just silly especially when BB has said, time and again, players need 3 seasons before you can truly evaluate them.
