OT: don't want to jump to conclusions

[007]

you are acting like no one else could have, with increased resources and other advancements it should have been turned around and I think he did ok.

I think some people underestimate the absolute abyss that the program was in after the Robinson era. I'm sure there are others that could have done what Marrone was able to accomplish in his short time here. But, I think that number is small, and the chances of SU being able to attract those kind of guys would be even smaller.

Marrone was the right guy at the right time. He rescued the program, IMO. That task was monumental because there was - No talent, limited facilities, limited financial resources, dying league, and no prior HC experience. For his efforts, Marrone drew the attention of the NFL. Deservedly so, regardless of how his tenure with the Bills plays out.

You and rating's have a big problem, Terry Bradshaw would have had terrible QB ratings, all he did was win 4 super bowls.

it was a hundred years ago. ratings are bad for comparing QBs of different eras. i think they're very good for comparing with peers. i'd love to see someone do some sort of adjusted qb rating the way they do in sabermetrics or with hockey

it's fun to imagine what old qbs would do in modern offenses. warren moon only had an 80 career rating but can you imagine what he'd do today?

These Marrone, Bills, Giants threads really write themselves don't they?

Marrone is staring at a 10 loss season again and new ownership. My suspicion is he's looking for a new job b/c of both reasons in 5 months. Isn't his wife from down south? I agree with Stern, I could see a UGA/FL type team hiring him.

The title of the OP is "don't want to jump to conclusions"... This post is a conclusion to the conclusion based on a jumped conclusion.

What's your prediction for the Bills this year? I know it's hard for you to get past the whole Marrone-sucks thing, but actually curious.

Does Watkins finish with 1000 yards? Can Manuel complete a pass over the line? Will Spiller actually get the ball in space?
