But even I said he deserved a third season because of the unusual amount of injuries his first two seasons.
Yeah, you keep saying that, but that's only because you refuse to look past the scoreboard. Anyone with any semblance of impartiality should have been able to look at what Taylor was doing with the roster and see he was building something special. Getting rid of the last of the malcontent holdovers from Marvin's years who refused to try to do things differently, and keeping those who bought into his system, then drafting and bringing in FA's who were from Championship programs, Captains, and coach's sons. As you admitted you can't tell what could have been last year due to the number of injuries that devastated this team at important positions, but if you looked at how this team reacted to those losses, you would recognize a vast change from years previous, where players would give up and turn on each other. Taylor was building a house here, and you just drove by, saw the lawn wasn't in yet, and said "He's not done anything"
