I'm stating we had a talented team overall for yrs and not having one burner WR wasn't gonna make Jimbo's ground and pound chew up the lock offense ineffective. People kissing Harbs ass like he did no wrong is unbelievable lol. Dude failed to win th big games as a player and has thus far as a coach. His stubborn ass and lack of in game adjustments has cost him wins.
Jim is going into his 4th season at Michigan, you telling me it's magically gonna be some crazy pass offense stretching the field with bombs and deep speed? I call b******t....even when he had luck at Stanford they were blasting the ball with Toby Gerhart (342 rushing attempts for 1,800 yards his last yr) and piss pounding people on defense. That's Jim's MO. That's what he did in college, the pros, and what he's currently doing at Michigan.
People calling out not having a all-star receiving core as to the reason we didn't win it all are being ridiculous imo.
I've alrwdy said my peace with Baalke and him being a horrible GM, jim is a much better HC BUT to say he was perfect and had no flaws is a joke
No, it was still Baalke. You must of forgot that Baalke had personnel control and Jim had to hand the phone over to him. I say he brought in slow Boldin because a he did, and b his control of the rest of the squad forced him as a starter.
The results say otherwise. We had a great offense in 2012. You really can't make the argument that the core of Crabtree, Walker and Vernon is not something you can easily build around.
And of course JH's o will never be Shanny's. He plays power ball control football. The reverse end is good luck thinking Shanny will ever have a top 5 d looking to blow everyone out. It's not a coincidence everywhere JH goes plays elite d. He plays to it by slowing down the tempo, running the ball. That's not saying you should have the slowest team in the league like we ended up with because of Baalke. JH has great athleticsm at UM with Black and People's Jones at receiver.
