The difference is, Zimmer found random people to replace injuries and perform at a high level (Newman, Gilberry, Jones, Ndwuke, etc) and Guenther doesn't. As someone said earlier.. Zimmer responded to adversity with top 10 defenses regardless. Guenther has not.
Zimmer lost Atkins for 7 games in 2013 and still had the 3rd overall defense.
I tend to agree with you but the players speak very highly of Pauly G. Of course they aren't going to say bad things about him, but Vontaze and the LB crew make it sound like Pauly is just as good as Zim. Having Marvin Lewis at the helm has definitely helped both D coordinators, and both D coordinators had great position coaches during their time here. I think a lot is still left to be learned about Pauly G, and then we can decide who is better. As of now, Zim takes home the trophy, but he has been a D coordinator for quite some time. Lets give Pauly time and see what happens.
