I realize the optimistic views can often cause contradictions, as you've pointed out. We are going to be better because Marvin is gone...but last year we were super injured...and Lazor sucked....and Austin sucked....and Zampese sucked so bad that he wrecked 2016 and 2017...and so on and so forth.
I mean, I'm more than fine with moving on from Marvin, but we are also blaming a slew of injuries and the notion that we've had maybe 1 coordinator in the past 2 or 3 years who isn't season-destroyingly bad. It's just easier to say that we were bad because of everyone who is gone, and now that everyone who is gone is gone, everyone who is still here can FINALLY stop being held back by everyone who is gone (because they were the problem).
