I don't get the fascination with this fan base on tearing down Marvin every chance we get. Especially considering that the dude is the main reason why this franchise is relevant right now. 
Zack is still unproven(I like him at Head coach) but he still has a lot to prove before he surpasses Marvin as the better coach.

It isn't tearing him down when there were SO MANY risk draft picks.  Odell Thurman, Jason Shirley, Frostee Rucker, Chris Henry, Joe Mixon...the list goes on and on.  You even listed Carlos Dunlap, who slid to Rd 2 because he was found passed out drunk at the wheel of a car in the middle of an intersection.  Chris Crocker wasn't drafted by them, but if you want to include Free Agents, ok, then you can add the likes of Adam Jones to the list.  Instead of Ross, it has been rumored that Marvin really wanted Reuben Foster.  He was a first round pick with talent galore but horrible off field issues.  He has been a huge bust.  

I have said many times that I was grateful for what Marvin did for this franchise.  He helped pull it out of a decade mired largely in futility.  But at the same time the damn narrative of "high talent grade that slipped" was very common here.  All I did was point out that Zac and company seem to have changed their approach in that respect.  It wasn't a slight to Marvin...other teams have done that as well, but it was a complement to Taylor.  I think I would rather have a team with drive, good character, and leadership.  

I completely agree that Zac and company will have to prove their worth starting this year.  They get a pass in year one to evaluate, self-scout, adapt, and round out their staff.  This year, it will be no excuses.
