I trust what I've seen with my own eyes.
You can trot out all the numbers in support of that guy you want...
I've seen him piss away more wins than any ****ing coach ever.
The Herm teams, the Haley teams...they just weren't talented. They had Cassels and Croyles at QB. Alex at least resembles an NFL QB. He isn't top tier like a Rodgers but he isn't AIDS-filled dumpster fire like Cassel either.
This team is stacked and ready to win right now. Period. Alex Smith is better than Dilfer, and we're Sean Smith away from having a dominant defense.
Difference is...Brian Billick, the same guy who had the record setting Minnesota offenses all those years with Cris Carter and whatnot, high flying pass master...ran the ball with Jamal Lewis and Priest Holmes. And let his defense play defense, instead of hanging them out to dry, 3 and out after 3 and out.
The 99 Ravens won like 3 or 4 straight games WITHOUT AN OFFENSIVE TD.
You read that right. Look it up.
In order to do that, you don't pretend your FORMER high 1st round qb is anything more than what he really is : a journeyman game manager.
Good coaches realize that they have one of the best RBs to ever play the game, and run the ball from 1st and gl at the 2.
Good coaches bench Jemel Fleming.
Good coaches put their badass bruiser backup RB with fresh legs in the game during the 4th qtr to batter the defense.
Good coaches recognize what they have...and realize what they don't have.
Think about it.
