Not even close...Josh willed his team almost to a win in spite of the Defense, ST and Coaches bungling.  I am not sure what more could he have done on such a historic night. 

Right, while Chase had a really good week, receivers put up those numbers all the time in the NFL.  Josh put up some numbers only seen once before.

To think there was a point the Lions had Stafford, Calvin Johnson and Suh on the same team and still managed to have some terrible years... like I think they had 4 wins in 2012 when Suh and Megatron had all pro seasons and Stafford threw for almost 5,000 yards.

 

No matter which camp you're in about McD holding us back from a championship, he certainly ain't holding us back THAT much.

 

Tough question when fans are trying to gauge the ceiling of a HC that has had a lot of success, but seems to hit the same or similar wall each season.

 

The legacy of McDermott is in his own hands.

 

Is he the post millennial version of Marty Schottenheimer... a very good coach who was never able to find post regular season success and reach the level needed to field a championship team?

 

Or does he demonstrate the growth mindset he preaches to his players as a coach where it is evident he is improving as a coach and we can believe we will reach that championship level.

 

I do think there is a danger of pseudo-nepotism and creating an echo chamber that does not explore new ideas when it comes to how many coaches including McD tend to hire folks they already have a connection to.

 

He may have to be open to some fresh ideas for defensive schemes and talent evaluation to match league trends and improve a defense that has not really lived up to the expected ROI.

 

Of course if he leads this team to a championship many of the doubts about "the Process" will be laid to rest.
