To the first, he had a hand in drafting or picking up nearly every player on 2019. Zac, arguably, had a hand in 3-4 (I don't remember all the signings).

To the second: Andy was two years younger, green played in part of those games and we had a few other players in 2018.

Also to the second: ever tried to ride a bike set up for someone different than you? Like one of your kids? Sure, it's basically the same thing, wheels and tassels and all, but if it doesn't fit, it doesn't fit.

Marvin wanted a team the way he liked to play. He knew the best way to break even, which I think was his biggest concern. A team built to lose less isn't necessarily built to win. 

So, I agree. Marvin built a team that only won two games last season. I'm anxious to see what Zac builds.
