I think we should trade Dalton and Green

Look at Philly last year.  Changed their offense up to accommodate Foles....what did we do for Driskel?


FWIW:  coaching, in my opinion, is a bigger part of success in football than most other sports.

Yea, it is both. But coaches don't call plays for AD to throw an interception. Or he doesn't teach the defense to be the worst D in a LONG time. Maybe, just maybe, we're not as talented as we'd like to think? 

Maybe running more RPO plays for driskel wouldn't of fit with the horrid line? Having them not knowing if it's run or pass sounds like a recipe for a QB death on the field. Maybe Lazor wasn't familiar enough with that sort of offense? Again, I am not sure, but what I do know is they have has the same lack of success as ML has. Everybody wanted him out like the plague, but our darling QB and WR are immune from these sorts of talks because we now want to pin all this on ML? It  has to be 100,000% ML fault is kinda silly IMO. 

We should look to upgrade any position on the team. I don't know why people are so in love with players and not fielding the best possible team to win a SB. I don't give a dam if it's Rudy from ND catching a football, just give me the best players. If it's AJ, great! One less player we have to worry about. I just don't know why people get some defensive when talking about upgrading the TEAM at certain positions. Then throw slights at them because we want to think about all potential options. It's whatever.
