Second how am I supposed to adjust the defensive stats for every other team in the league who has an All Pro player on defense?  You seem to act like Guenthar was the only DC in the league who had a star player.

First of all, I said the last two seasons, that would be 2016 and 2017.  That is where you should be looking at points scored rankings for our offense, if you are going to try to disagree with my contention that he lost a high-powered offense, that he had in 2014 and 2015 (at least higher-powered) and also look at how his defenses performed without Burfict.  The Pats lost tons of talent on the defensive side of the ball over the past few years and I think they finished #1 in the NFL last year.  Some of that could be because they have a very high-powered offense and would be ahead of many teams, forcing them in to a passing attack mode.  A lot of it was coaching.  

To your second statement, I didn't ask you to adjust defensive stats.  I merely pointed out that without Burfict, his defense really suffered.  And this leads me back to a post I already, well, posted.

The original posts looked like this, because you seem to be all over the place:

Quote:Guenthars worst season here was his fourth and had the #16 scoring defense.

Mike Zimmers worst season here was his thgird and we had the #24 scoring defense.

Guenthar is a damn good DC.  Don't know why so many people don't like him.  There is a good reason he was the first choice at DC for both Mike Zimmer and Jon Gruden.

We will see how he does with the Raider's defense.  Some of it might have been due to talent.  Look at how his defense suffered without Burfict.  He doesn't have him in Oakland (er, Vegas).
