5 years is more than enough to measure performance.
Depends. Not if you don't have a starting qb and a relatively healthy OL 75% of the time.
You don't have to respond to this. Put the new team under the exact same conditions. Same degree of OL injury, same number of starts from #2 caliber qbs. What record would you predict? Averaging 9, 10, 11 wins a year?
This is why I personally don't enjoy these discussions. I name a factor that was monumental. A lot of people don't factor it in to any degree I would call realistic. I ask them, who won under those conditions. There's never an answer. I ask, do you think they would win with the same conditions for the next 4 years starting now? No answer. (BTW I was saying the same things in the Linehan years.) There are people who respond to posts with this argument and don't even mention this argument...just repeat their coach mantras.
I assume we just agree to disagree, on completely friendly terms, and move on.
Though having said that I do look forward to the coming years because I assume they WILL have a relatively healthy OL AND a starting caliber qb, so rooting for them is just going to be whole heck of a lot easier.
