Why do you have to deny what he's accomplished just because Marvin couldn't?
I’m fairly certain last season was an extension of training camp for Zac Taylor. He wanted to see what he had with Marvin’s players. Well, it obviously wasn’t much. And he did something about it.
I don’t know if Zac earned Mike’s trust after one season or if he begged and pleaded with Mike to be aggressive in FA... but whatever he did (if anything at all), it worked. The fact of the matter is Zac did more with free agency after one season than Marvin ever did in 16 years. The lackadaisical approach with free agency during Marvin’s tenure is a mystery. But it’s not out of the realm of possibly that Marvin was just going through the motions.
