That's only proof that it takes players playing at an absurd level to make Sutton look good.
For the record, I don't think Sutton is the worst DC out there. But to say that a great DC wouldn't make a difference for this team is ridiculous in my opinion.

The problems with the defense aren't the plays being called.
It's preparation, execution, and talent.
FFS, watch the long pass to the FB. Do you know what happened?
Everyone ran a 3 deep zone except Murray, who for whatever reason plays man and runs across the field vacating his deep 3rd responsibility. What happens? FB flares out and catches a pass in the vacated zone for a long TD.
All because ONE GUY screwed up. Is that because the play call is bad? Or is it because Murray sucks?
You can blame the staff for poor preparation. Lack of attention to detail.
Blame the scouts for drafting bad players. You can blame the head coach because ultimately this IS his responsibility. HE's not just head coach of the offense. Errors like that should be unacceptable.
You can't say that happened because the DC called a bad play though. There's no scheme that works if you have one guy cluelessly and incorrectly playing man in a cover 3 zone and literally abandoning a deep 3rd of the field.
