There's no denying the talent comparison with these two, right? I think it's at least up for debate. I don't claim to be an expert, but I do know sometimes kids not seeing the field has a reason. Sometimes kids flash but aren't consistant. Again, I'm not saying that's the case here, but fans have a tendancy to assume everyone on the bench is better than everyone on the field wen we aren't winning. And since when did celebrating become a crime? Aren't we 'Canes fans? He celebrated so much because he did his job. Nothing wrong with celebrating, but I know something's up when half your highlight film is celebration...that means you're short on action. Maybe that's because moron coaches didn't give him a chance, maybe not. But he definitly is light on actual highlights.
"I suspect this is one of those 'the last coach sucked, everybody who didn't play must have been amazing'" --- We're not saying this. Because Gil played 50% of the time and he played better. Did he? Is it possible that something he did or didn't do maybe kept him off the field?
"Sometimes even failed coaches make the right call" -- Starting Scott Patchan over Greg Rousseau. Mhmmmmmm. Doesn't make every call a bad one. You just did exactly what I'm talking about. You assume that because some calls were bad, every call you don't like is wrong.
