[QUOTE="OrangePA, post: 1383885, member: 204"]
I am in the camp that from top to bottom, last year's team was one of the most talented we have seen in nearly fifteen years.

I think that last year's record was a reflection in large measure of an offensive team that admittedly did not understand the offense that it was being asked to run. This spring, the QB who won the Texas Bowl the year before, acknowledged that his side of the ball did not know how to run the plays - he described the offensive as "master of nothing."

Injuries also played a role - it was truly remarkable how many we sustained last year - at the QB position alone - even our kicker was out for the year.

And, I believe that the record was a reflection, in part, of the head coach still learning how to run/administer the team.

As far as recruiting is concerned, you have to consider that Doug Marrone did not have the IPF or the bowl wins or the ACC to sell.

He had the Greg Robinson era to sell.

And that was a tough sell.
