When given a reasonable amount of talent without being completely inexperienced, Gruden led a respectable offense.
Bill O'Brien and Josh McDaniels wouldn't even have been able to lead a top offense with a squad that featured a very green Andy Dalton, mediocre Benson and BJGE, basically no TE2, and guys like Binns, Tate, Caldwell, Simpson, and Hawkins having to be near the top of the depth chart.
I think having a great WR1 and offensive line have been the only real constants in the positive department over the last 4 years on the offensive side of the ball. The team has done a great job of bringing in talent and developing it over the years, so Hue has very few excuses in 2015. This team SHOULD showcase one of the better offenses in the league, but until that happens, Gruden > Hue and it's hard to argue otherwise.
