Some of these players (Rudi and TJ for instance) weren't contributing much yet, but that doesn't mean the talent wasn't there. These players blossoming just coincided with Marv's hiring.
Btw, Corey didn't quit the team. The poor numbers were largely thanks to injury. That's why Rudi was able to take over in the first place.
It is pointless to even argue this with you. You just rig everything to fit your opinion. How convenient for you that it is just random coincidence that certain players blossomed when Marvin showed up.
And I am so certain that if Palmer had been a complete bust you would never have placed any blame on Marvin at all.
Marvin got 2 starters on defense and 6 on offense. Five of them were Pro Bowl players (Chad, Rudi, TJ, Willie, Justin)
Mike Zimmer inherited 12 of his 2015 starters including six Pro Bowl players (TE Kyle Rudolph, OT Matt Kalil, DE Everson Griffen, LB Chad Greenway, FS Harrison Smith, and the greatest RB in the league in Adrian Peterson).
Gruden inherited only 9 starters but they include four Pro Bowl players (QB Kirk Cousins, RB Alfred Morris, LT Trent Williams, DE/LB Ryan Kerrigan)
Marvin really didn't get more talent that either of those guys.
