How Much Power Does ZT Have?

Dalton hasn't played at that level for what 3-4 years? Eifert is hugely overrated and has played in less than half of his games.

AJ Green is injury prone. Boyd and Mixon are good now and trending up.

And we have a bad offensive line.

We might have a bad offensive. line.   It hasn't been proven yet one way or the other.  How many times has ZT made a point of saying that he hasn't been showing much on either side of the ball?  Maybe he's a stone faced liar, but he at least gets to be judged after the first game is played and not before.

And you keep bringing up how he has the Rams' offense.  Well, good.  I believe it got them to the SB, so why the hell not?  In a copycat league, copy a good one. 

Maybe you could stop judging him on three, four, five years ago, whatever it was and just for a moment consider that fact that he might be better now, that maybe some of Sean McVay rubbed off, for instance.   Coaches take pieces of everybody they work for and the good ones make it their own.   What if he ends up being one of those good ones?  How awful would that be? 

He's brand new.  Deal with it.   Maybe for once, take notice of what he's doing right now and forget about what happened in the past.  People do fail when they're young and then learn from it and go on and succeed, you know.  What was he, barely thirty?

The past is nothing more than the road that got him here.  it's not always the foretelling of the future that you seem convinced it is.  What's so wrong about having a little faith?
