Trent's recipe for success - more excuses

[VJ91]

Trent Edwards says while he's cleaning out his locker; "You look at the most successful teams in the league year in and year out, they have continuity with play-calling, their personnel and the coaches....I think that's the best recipe for success."

 

That's amazing. What the hell does this kid know about success in the NFL??

 

What about Miami, Atlanta and Baltimore?? All playoff teams, all with new coaches this season.

 

Check out the best team in the AFC, the Titans. Kerry Collins had to come off the bench at quarterback after their starter, Vince Young, suffered injuries and emotional meltdowns. No continuity there as far as the most important position on any football team. Didn't seem to stop the Titans too much.

 

The Vikings lost their QB continuity when Jackson played horrible and they needed to turn to 50 year old Gus Ferrotte. They still made the playoffs, and now Ferotte's continuity is gone with injury and Jackson is back playing better.

 

The Chargers fired their defensive coordinator half way through this season, really screwed up their continuity. All San Diego did was win their last 4 games in a row and won the putrid AFC West at 8-8-0. Still, they blew out the Broncos and are hot at the right time with a home game coming up against the Colts in the playoffs.

 

The 49ers fired Mike Nolan - blew the hell out of their continuity, mid season and the team ended up responding well to new coach Mike Singletary, turning a horrible season into the same record as Trent's stable Bills, 7-9-0.

 

But Edwards is just like the rest of his teammates. "We're almost there. We improved. We just need a couple more peices to our puzzle. We love coach Jauron. We're better then our record."

 

Blow it up again Ralph. Screw Trent's continuity. Get a coach in here that wants to win now, and demands his players to be accountable for winning now!

I really don't like this guy anymore. He appears soft and loves to make bad excuses.

What's missing from Trent's recipe is a little ingredient called "accountability". Every successful team has that. That you as a player actually fear not doing well because it will effect your status on the team. There's that and also he's flat out wrong if he feels that the fourth year is the charm with Dick. If he couldn't get it right in 7 of 8 seasons why in the world is he banking on the ninth season? Our Stanford and Yale alums, Trent and Dick, don't appear to be very intelligent fellows, do they. They both can take a hike as far as I'm concerned.
