I think Marvin's supposed defensive genius is awfully overblown compared to the reality. Not to mention 3 playoffs in 10 years without Zimmer, 4 playoffs in 6 years with Zimmer. Meanwhile Zimmer is looking at his 3rd playoffs in 6 years in Minnesota, and actually won a playoff game, and was a missed 27 yard FG from a second.

Yep

Another narrative I disagree with - Marvin is this great evaluator of talent. Pair that up with ML being the LBer whisperer and then take a hard look at our LBers over 16 seasons.
