Are there any optimists left?

Just because this is his 3rd stop and the offense is crap doesn't mean he won't improve. Assuming he stays OC he's entire tenure here, this will be the first time he's had a chance to be an OC past the first year in the same place. 

I'm not saying he WILL improve but, God damn, give him a chance to improve before making declarative statements about him .

He had the 123rd out of 128th ranked offense at UC. You think they were going to give him a 2nd year?

Also, in Miami he took over for Bill Lazor and made the offense WORSE.

Those teams weren't going to keep him. More time can destroy the players.

I can make this declarative statement: He's not some intuitive offensive expert. The intuitive guys get 1 opportunity and run with it and show that they are bright offensive minds. He's not that.

Then the question becomes...could he learn to be a good playcaller? Maybe...but it's easier to just hire a guy.

Jay Gruden had arena league coaching experience and came here and was a good OC right from the beginning for instance.

And here we are saying Taylor needs more years to develop.
