Take '09, for example, we went run heavy every game, which we swept the division and made the playoffs, but we just went run, run, curl, punt, most of the game and then won most games because of Palmer in the two-minute drill.  He needs to learn that one gameplan doesn't work for every team and he needs to look at the other team's strengths and weaknesses and then exploit them.  

If something in a game isn't working, he needs to learn how to recognize the problem and can't be afraid to change it up and do things differently.

Not sure where I'd rank him because we have been relevant most of the time under him, which is an awesome refreshment growing up and still living in Cincinnati.

I'll say Marvin from 2011-2014 must have a better gameplan (in a sense) because it really seemed like the 05 and 09 seasons were successful because of overprotective RBs and/or Palmer running a no-huddle/2-minute drill which effectively cut Marvin and Bratkowski out of the equation.

Perhaps that isn't entirely fair, but it seemed like minimizing the amount of input those guys had helped the team a bit.
