Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 1157219, member: 40"] "Convenient?" You're reading way too much into that. I think you're expending a helluva lot of effort to rationalize that we don't lack playmakers on offense. The data you're providing is aggregated over many games, and normalized by 50/50 games where our talent is roughly equivalent to and can get the job done against peer programs. That's great news. The bad news is that when we play elite, top 10 teams our talent / playmaking gets exposed as lacking. I don't harbor illusions about us every being a consistently elite team, but if we want to get into the neighborhood of the top 25 [and aspire to even more], we need better talent on both sides of the ball. I'm not sure how this can even be legitimately disputed. And for the record, nobody is suggesting that improved excution, playmaking, yada won't improve offensive performance, too. [/QUOTE]
