Guys like AJ Green stand out to me because they are so freakishly talented, they can overcome coaching. It's like Whitworth. Blue chip guys who can make it happen anywhere.
The key to REALLY good teams is to make average to "good" players play above their level. We just don't do that. If you are on this team, and you aren't a special talent, you probably will play exactly to your level, or lower.
Guys like Ross to me, would still be used so much differently with better coaching. I still think he has talent. Maybe not #9 overall talent, but I think he's a really dangerous weapon.
I used to defend the team through the 90's and 2000's...then at a certain point I just saw it as the mismanaged mess that it is.
It's not bad luck. It's mismanagement. What other management team keeps the same GM after 26+ years of now playoff wins? Yeah...None.
