[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 985125, member: 17953"] This has zero to do with players. Drayton was worthless. I said from the start, he should have never been given the job. Of course I was saying that about a string of guys holding the same job. As for Capers, I never liked him from the start. I felt he kept trying to put round pegs in square holes, and wasn't capable of adjusting his defense to the players he had available. These are coaches, not players. A big difference here. And, for your edification, I'm not enthralled by any player on the team. They're hired to do a job, and paid quite well for it. If I believe they're failing, I'm more than willing to see them go, replaced by someone who can do that job better. If I thought Crosby was a failure, I'd say so. I'm certainly glad you're not coaching the Packers. We'd be cutting people for "statistical reasons," not the reality of how well they play the game. I'm always reminded of Eddie George. His career stats show he averaged 3.6 yards per carry. Obviously not very good by statistical standards. Should have been cut early on. Yet, here we are, with him having amassed over 10,000 yards in the NFL, and considered one of the better running backs in his time. Nowhere in his stats does it show how he was a steady runner, who made key yardage on the ground, when his team needed it, and was dependable in those specific circumstances. In other words, his entire career would have been scrapped if he had been judged by stats. But, that doesn't mean I don't believe in stats. I think they're important. But they aren't the whole answer like you're trying to push. [/QUOTE]
