he'll get 12-13 regular season wins every year because the NFL is full of mediocre teams, but all of the shortcomings of his teams get exposed in the post season.
are we better off with him? maybe. maybe not.
i have a logical argument about how the artificially gaudy numbers his receivers put up in his system leads them to demand high $$$ contracts and that means we either lose them or underpay on other areas that we need to improve in order to pay to keep those guys, but i'm a little too annoyed to write it all out now.
can we get to the SB this year? right now, it seems doubtful.
