And, I completely agree with your conclusion. This team has the talent to succeed, what it lacks is a coach that can game plan and push the right buttons on guys. Lewis can find the talent, but getting a guy like Burfict to play under control or getting the team to not implode when something goes wrong, and just being able to plan a winning strategy against a good coach seems beyond his reach.
True. I just feel like Wilson to Seattle was a perfect match for both player and team. Seattle was a young team on the rise with a great coach. They just needed the QB. For Wilson, it was a great situation to step into. Almost reminded me of Ben and the Steelers back in 2004.
Totally agree on Marv. Excellent talent evaluator and roster builder (although I think he's hampered in FA by Mike). He just doesn't have much backbone and that seems to be the identity of his teams as well.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
