Oh **** he is a made man….run.
Not just AB, Bryant, Bell (not a WR but still), Coates, Blount....
Tomlin didn't do crap.
You guys keep making the assertion Tomlin did nothing. I am offering a different possibility. It is all speculation as we weren't there and we do not know. But since you make guys make the allegation, what should have been done differently, and, are you sure it would have worked? See, the bottom line is that Tomlin didn't win with those guys. Had he won, this would not even be a discussion. And as I have stated previously had you read, you would have seen that I stated Tomlin absolutely deserves criticism for not winning with those players. That is provable. What he did or didn't do discipline wise is not.
With Hindsight, what should have happened is they trade AB a year before for multiple 1sts.
I have difficulty with this line of argument. It seems as if what is being said is that Ben was only responsible for the wins, but somehow escapes responsibility for the losses. When they lost games, Ben was a lump of clay who was molded into those losses by the head coach. When they won, he broke out of that mold.
We've seen Shades for the undisciplined joke of a head coach he is, who gets in the way of any kind of functioning offense. Ben outperformed his mess, his pee-your-pants way of coaching and saved Tomlin's crap approach to coaching. I have bee saying for a decade that once Ben leaves it will remove the curtain from Shades' ineptitude. It has. And I don't think we've seen the end yet. Russ will do a little better than Tiny Hands or Tiny Head, but only so much.
You are hard sometimes to even respond to. It is like the ravings of a 14 year old.
Each and every HC should get credit for highs and lows of their team. With Tomlin it is always he does a good job until the chips are on the line and he is faced with a HC that knows his X and Os better in comparison. So all those impressive winning seasons Mike gets full credit. For all those playoff failures he gets full blame.
I am fascinated that people take such sides on this. It seems to me to be something that is really common sense. Football is the ultimate team sport. Everybody is to get credit when there is success, and everyone is to blame when there is not. I think we have lost sight of that because it just doesn't make sense that Mike Tomlin is still the head coach of this football team given the lack of success. It has kind of thrown common sense on it's head a little. Bu8t that doesn't make the original point wrong.
And here is the Shades apologist right on cue. You're far too brainwashed to even converse with, just childish banter all about.
Both would be huge, but I'm gonna go with the Super Bowl choice for the bigger headline. He's not capable of getting out of his own head in the post-season.
Thank you for the laugh.
you are throwing childish banter at others? You have your fair share and drastically overdo the Tomlin hate thing. We know, trust me. You don't have to beat it into the ground it gets really old.
