While you're the horse that keeps banging into the wall.

It was 2 seasons, not 1.

This may sound like I'm splitting hairs, but I don't feel like I am. He got picked up by Carolina, eventually got benched, then went to LA to stand-in for Stafford until he was healthy. Then Tampa Bay signed him in FA. He got a double-dose of humble pie over the course of that season, and I believe that, above everything else, has helped him get to where he is today.

No FQB.
Probably one of the worst organization in the NFL the last 20 seasons.

You’re not in the position to tell others about how to run a successful NFL franchise.

And yet here you are, no more qualified than I doing that exact thing. Results don't lie. Making up a fable as to whom it as responsible for those results claiming as if you know the answer to that seems to be the issue here.

In football, results actually can lie. A perfect pass can bounce off a receiver's hands. Receivers fall down. A ball can take a crazy ricochet to a RB it wasn't intended for and go for a TD.

Players get hurt on the field. Players have mental health issues from stuff off the field.

You were what your record said you were, but the story doesn't end there.

Blind horses don't run. Trainers frequently cover sighted horses' eyes to calm them down to make them walk where they want them to instead of freaking out and running willy nilly.

Unfortunately, Haslam is not a horse. Hopefully the current group can still find a way to pull some wool over his eyes and make him manageable.
