Belichick finished 5-11 in his first season as Patriots head coach. So...

 

I love this analogy.

 

Take it a step further, The Genius Hoodie's first 6 years as a head coach:

 

1991 - Cleveland: 6 - 10

1992 - Cleveland: 7 - 9

1993 - Cleveland: 7 - 9

1994 - Cleveland: 11 - 5

1995 - Cleveland: 5 - 11

2000 - New England: 5 - 11

 

Total W-L record, 36 - 55

 

Great Analogy!

To the people who want Stevie gone...

 

Remember he just lost his Mom, even played the day After it happened when he DIDNT have to.

 

Same guy that most DB's in the league cant cover.

 

Same guy the plays hurt All the time.

 

If it wasn't for injuries, death, and shaky QB play he, not Chandler, would have been the leading WR on the team.

 

But yet you want to get rid of him, just like yall run Beast Mode out of town.

 

You don't get better by creating more holes on the roster. You just don't.

 

BTW, I voted for Graham, nice speed but he fights to catch the ball. Not Good.

I get what you're saying, however, he has developed and maintained a nasty habit of coming up short in big moments (minus the Carolina game). Also, IMO Manuel tried far too many times to force the ball to stevie, moreso than any other WR. Now IDK if that's something that is an issue with EJ wanting to go to his #1 too much, or if Stevie is calling for the ball in the huddle, but I thought that when things were going well offensively it was without JOhnson.

 

IMO, we should trade Stevie for something decent IE 2nd-4th rd pick, and move forward with what we have plus whatever we get in the draft.

Stevie has been a very nice player for us, but IMO it's time to cut him loose.

It would be nice if franchises showed more patience, frankly. Hell, it would be nice if PEOPLE showed more patience.

 

I'm pretty amazed at how many fans want to jettison both EJ and Marrone after their rookie campaigns, as if the next two guys we throw into the frying pan would do any better than 6-10.

 

And yes, I realize that it's difficult to preach patience when it's been 14 years since a playoff appearance, but the current GM, head coach and starting QB are not responsible for those 14 seasons. They are responsible for exactly 1 season.

Bellicheat found Marsha; Otherwise he would be working as a career D-Co.

You are absolutely correct. Any season prior to this season means absolutely nothing in evaluating the current decision makers in the front office. That is unless you are evaluating Ralph Wilson, Bills Fans, or Rich Stadium, because that's the only thing that's been constant over that time.

Let's be fair. I think Brady was a huge factor in Bill's success, but he had to have the sack to keep Brady in there when Bledsoe was healthy. He's also learned to be a better coach. They went 11-5 when Brady was out for the season. So you have to give him his due credit, the guy can coach.

It doesn't take 3 years to turn a team around anymore.

 

That statement used to read "it doesn't take 5 years to turn a team around anymore".

 

Marrone was in the minority among the new coaching hires whose team did not improve.

 

I am not saying he needs to be fired but patience needs to be warranted, not just automatic. And results are relative to both expectations and results of other teams in similar straits.

I know for a fact that 1. You are smarter than this, and 2. You saw the numerous posts which chronicled how most of the successful new coaches had a veteran QB to work with, and how the unsuccessful new coaches were dealing with rookie or no QBs.

 

The "team" in general has been turned around from where we were years ago. We have a talented DLine, and a FO that prioritizes the trenches on both sides of the ball. We are effectively 1 TE and 2 OL away from being stacked. All we really need is the same thing every team in the NFL needs, a QB that can produce. I believe EJ can be that guy, and according to the press conference today, so does Marrone.

 

We'll see how it goes now that our Head Coach and QB are through their rookie season. I believe that warrants some patience.

Where's Jim Leonhards name?

 

 

 

Yup when you look at his total yards and even his YPC of 4.6 for the season it sure says "awesome". But Spiller gets his yards in big chunks. He will rip off a 60 or 70 yard beauty, followed by 10 or 12 plays of little to no gain. That one run is very exciting to watch, but overall that style runner does not help the team over the course of a game or season. That is why I think some would like him gone.

 

As for me, I'm not in the "cut him" camp by any means. But I would not shed a tear if he was traded for good value. And to be honest, i suspect such a trade would be good for Spiller's career as well.

 

Barry Sanders was notorious for those types of runs. Chris Johnson and Jamaal Charles too. Spiller is a " home run hitter" if you want to be upset at someone be upset at the person who couldn't get this dynamic player the ball in space.

Bottom line is that they are still a 6-10 football team.

 

The team of Nix/Whaley/Marrone simply didn't do what was needed to turn it around.

 

None of the turnaround rookie head coached teams had rookie QB's leading them this year..................of course the only to draft one in the first round was Buffalo.

 

Last year, 3 teams made the playoffs with rookie QB's.

 

And this year, the teams that did turn it around didn't all inherit quality starters.

 

The Bills.............they signed Kevin Kolb.

 

Like I said, I am not saying Marrone needs to be fired but these guys deserve to be looked at skeptically because they earned it.

 

You are what your record says you are.

 

If they go into next season without serious competition for Manuel they are asking for it.

 

Dead Marrone walking.

 

If EJ face=plants it will take a reprieve from the governor to save his job next January because this team is going to QUIT on this staff if they waste this accumulation of talent.

 

They half quit the last two months THIS year.

 

It won't have anything to do with being patient or understanding that all he needs is a QB.

 

You do or you not in the NFL.

 

At this point Marrone is 6-10......same as Gailey before him.

 

Not improved.

Interesting take. Guess you either selectively forgot Colin Brown or just saw the move as a mistake "anybody" could have made. (It wasn't.)

No one on that list should go.

 

All of those guys are starters. You don't get better by cutting and replacing your starters. You get better by UPGRADING, moving those guys to second string, and cutting guys lower down the ladder.

 

For example, draft a top-notch TE weapon. He becomes the starter. Chandler gets moved to TE#2, and Lee Smith gets cut.

 

You don't cut from the top and leave the underlying garbage.

 

Only one that fits that is TJ Graham since he is already the #3 or 4 WR. But again, I dont want him cut just for the sake of cutting him. You have to have an upgrade to the position on the roster first.

 

Best post.

 

I'm so sick of dumping talented players and creating holes with no replacement prepared.

 

This guy wants too much money. This guy isn't a "team player." This guy has made several Pro Bowls, but he's really overrated. Blah, blah, blah.

 

But what do I know. Maybe 1000 yard receivers who can toast Darrelle Revis really do grow on trees. Maybe we would be better off tossing Kyle Williams for a 350 LB tub of lard. Maybe it's better to have extra cap room instead of a Top 5 safety who has the audacity to demand fair market value. Who really wants one of the league's top young defensive tackles? The guy is LATE to meetings!
