Both Marvin and Elway had had a lot of success but failed at a certain level. Bronco fans claimed that the failure was 100% proof that Elway could not win a Super Bowl. Some Bengal fans claim that it is 100% proof that Marvin will never win a playoff game. The Bronco fans who claimed it was 100% proven were wrong. The Bengal fans may be right or they may be wrong. We don't know yet. But we do know that past failure is not 100% of future failure.
I don't see the goal as winning "a playoff game". The goal should be the Super Bowl. If you have a coach that can't make it past the wild card round in seven attempts, and is in his 14th season as head coach, there is little reason to believe he is suddenly going to go on a post season run. History does not always show you the future, but it can be a good predictor.
