Geez, Bruce...someone strike a chord with you. I am so glad to learn that you are infinitely more qualified to have an opinion on pro football that all of us mere mortals...who see things perhaps differently than you.
Your modesty in claiming your vast superiority is...well, humbling. That you choose to judge two men, one with a documented 5 year history of performance to a guy who has had one season to prove himself, equally is ..well, simple. Sherman had some nice qualities, but his weaknesses were killers. Clearly, he could rally the troops...but he also put them into position to have to rally to begin with. Never possessed the "killers instinct" for lack of a better term.
But then again...why should I, or for that matter, any fan who might disagree with you, choose to have the debate...given your self-proclaimed vast superiority in all things football.
Gosh...it must be lonely being as wonderful, intelligent, irrefuteable, and just damn knowledgeable as you, Bruce.
And again, your modesty in declaring your vast superiority is truly...well...startling.
You are awesome, man!!
