[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1092919, member: 10086"] Yes that’s where I was going with this. The best Coaches seem to be able to adapt to their players’ strengths. At first we saw a more generic plan with Love. Eventually Matt had to turn him loose. I recall quite a few anti Love posters (not you just sprinkled in here) saying Love threw way too many INT and he could barely clip 60% completion rate). I specifically recall that happening after just several games worth of results, which is not scientifically acceptable. Here we are now and he’s had 28 QB’s throw more INT than Jordan (6) in 2025. His completion % ranked in good category #11 (10 games to qualify) but of that top 11 placing that only 5 QB’s threw for more yards (7.7) per play. I think we’d all agree there’s a trade off for throwing longer and affecting %. He seems to have found a sweet spot. So Matt fully trusts him now and in year 4 he can really loosen the reigns and play to Jordan’s strengths. I say this because as you mentioned, one area of improvement imo is putting individual players in positions to succeed. This is a well known goal for coaching but it’s also an art. The great Coaches of history have taken what I’d call “above average” players and turned them into Superstars. IMO we did not use several players properly to strengths. Now that’s not a bad thing if it gets fixed. Some of that was out of pure need to plug weaknesses as guys went on IR. Some if that happened before guys like Parsons went down. We have to trust our individual players more until they give us a reason not to. Loosen the reigns and verbalize it to each player why. Challenging men with trust to raise their game is the best compliment you can get. You’ll find the Packers did that quite a bit in the 1960’s. Vince admittedly went to his Veteran players and asked them how he could improve after a losing streak. You have to involve the Player as a partnership and get buy in.
