I never said he was an All Pro. I said he was an All Pro capable QB, which he clearly was. I was not talking about Murray, although you can certainly include him in the discussion. I was talking about Barber but that's here nor there. Once again, I never said that he lead the league in rushing, I said he was capable of that but again, here nor there. Do you believe that either of those things is a lie?
Defense was the bigger issue because it was set up to be that way. We had talent on the Defensive side of the ball. By 2012, the decision on the Defensive side of the ball belonged to Garrett so if you want to say that it was bare, who's fault is that? It certainly was not the case when he took the team over. He had, among others, Ware, Ratliff, Spencer, Hatcher, Lee, James, Newman, Jenkins and Sensabaugh. He had talent on the Defensive side of the Ball. If you want to disagree, that's fine but it's not accurate. There was definitely talent on that Defensive unit. Look at the games we lost in the year Garrett took over. Look at the scores of those games. Look at how many times we through the ball in those first 8 games and how long the Defense was on the field. Philips was set up that season and it wasn't because the talent on the Defensive side of the ball was bad. It was because of how the games were called on our side Offensively.
