Message: [QUOTE="CardiacCuse, post: 4102267, member: 6979"] yes the new portal reality is new players every year, basically. but jimmy cole and symir were contingency plans (i think)..I dont think they were in the fold when the schedule was made - they were stop gaps for players who would all have been returning with more experience than they have. its not just maturity - its experience in the zone - takes a year at least, usually. JB's formula doesnt fit this era as well as it did to the way things used to be. but yeah - a lot of years lately - the team could use a weaker sched. good teams can benefit from tough sched - JB thought this was going to be a good team so he scheduled hard but his "calculations" were off.
