Right, I see what you’re doing here...
Let me know when Garrett
ever dealt with all of the following in one season:
- Play football in pandemic
- Have a season with no training camp
- Have expected contributors opt out on playing for a season (Olawale, Canady, etc.)
- Lose his starting QB (then lose the backup for multiple games)
- Lose a starting o-lineman in his prime (age) to retirement (Frederick)
- Lose his starting starting LT for the year (then lose the primary swing tackle in B. Knight)
- Never have his starting RT play a single snap (L. Collins)
- Never have their top free agent acquisition play a snap (G. McCoy)
- Lose another starting DT for the season (T. Hill)
- Lose a starting CB for significant time (Awuzie)
- Lose another starting CB for the year (Diggs)
- Lose a starting LB for a significant portion of the season (LVE)
- Lose their starting TE for the season (Jarwin)
You already know all this and I’m sure I’ve missed some other things that could have been listed, but you’ve ignored all that to take the opportunity to heehaw about what “mediocre coaching actually looks like” under McCarthy.
Talk about an egregious omission of context.
McCarthy may certainly not be the answer but to try and evaluate him under the circumstances he’s been saddled with this season is lame as hell.
