Positives about hiring Norv

Joe Rod;1343712 said:
I'm telling you that Gore produced in a system that typically allows running backs to excel. Turner teaches them things that make them better players. that is what coaches do. Gore believes it and credits him for it. Gore does not side with you. Your star witness failed you and yet you still argue on. Good for you!
It's been shown in this thread that all of the RBs that have excelled in Norv's systems have excelled outside of Norv's systems. Gore's opinion is meaningless in this matter. Why that is has been shown to you, but you keep ignoring it. I would too if Gore's opinion was my only remaining straw I had to grasp.

Terry Allen had great seasons without Norval (including maybe his best season, in Minnesota)

Emitt Smith had great seasons without Norval (including his best season, in 1995)

Stephen Davis had great seasons without Norval (including his highest yardage season, in Carolina)

Ricky Williams had great seasons without Norval.

Frank Gore naturally progressed in his second season, like most players do, there's no doubt in Bob Dole's mind he would have had the same success without Norval.

Notice the constant?

THEY'RE GREAT RB'S.

They were great with Norval and great without him. They're just great players. Giving Norval credit for them is ludicrous.

I didn't say that Norv is solely responsible, as talent has something to do with it. But, if the scheme fails and the lanes aren't there, then the running back can't run. Running backs do well in his system and he deserves credit for utilizing running backs and getting the best out of them. He is a good teacher at the position and I have provided two of his players that named him as being instrumental, the two being Gore and Emmitt. He always fields good rushing attacks and his RBs get good coaching from him. To say that Gore succeeded without Norv's help when Gore volunteered that Norv has helped him become a better player is somewhat of a stretch. The 49ers offered him a big raise to keep him from interviewing with Dallas, so you'll forgive me if I think they side with me as well.

I would say that the stats argue either case depending on how you manipulate them. If Gore's opinion and Emmit's opinions are meaningless, then there is no hope for your opinion. You are on a message board. No one outside of this thread will even view your opinion, much less care. They printed Gore's because they asked about his success in 2006, so guess what, someone cares! The 49ers reflected Gore's thoughts by trying to offer him a raise to not interview. I would say that's proof enough that the 49ers agree with me. Jerry Jones is interviewing him for the head coaching position. Those opinions carry much more weight than yours.

I'm not offering my opinion. I'm offering a logical argument. You have zero stats that prove your argument. All you offer is one man's opinion.

My stats show that Gore's YPC got better with Norv. That is yards per carry, not carries. Your argument that he should be better in his second year is just an argument, it can be supported somewhat by stats, but never proven to a point where it would be factually accurate and anything other than a %. At the end of the day, it will only be your opinion. I offer the opinion of the person that matters the most, which is the person in question. Stats prove my point as well because they say that Gore's YPC got better under Turner.

Ok. Let me get this straight. Here's your argument:

Occurrence: Gore's numbers improved from his 1st year to his 2nd year.

Claim: This is a result of Norv.

Statistical support: Gore's numbers improved form his 1st year to his 2nd year.

:lmao2:

Yeah, that stats really prove your point, kid.

I never said it was solely the result of Norv, but Norv was a great factor in his development. You haven't offered me anything that Proves Gore is solely responsible. Gore has credited Norv and San Fran is trying to get him to stay with a high dollar raise. You aren't a good loser are you?

Are you drunk? Seriously? At times you sound reasonably intelligent, but at others not so much. This leads me to think you're drunk.

Also, you never told me why this horrible running back developer gets credit from one of the all time greats, being one Emmitt Smith? I'm sure Gore didn't learn a thing from Norv because the stats don't lie. Oh, wait, that's right, Gore's YPC increased when Norv came on board and Gore credited Norv as being instrumental.

He doesn't get credit for Emmitt. Anyone who gives him credit for Emmitt is an idiot.

Oh, and I never called him a "horrible running back developer." I never even implied such. Quit the straw men arguments. Actually you should probably stop attempting making arguments altogether. It's kinda embarassing to watch.

I guess that's praise from someone on the losing end of an argument.

Emmitt gave him credit for Emmitt. People who are greatful to those that made a great impact on their career often do things like this. If I ever see Emmitt, I will pass on your praises. You aren't much fun at parties are you?

Your argument was completely deconstructed and destroyed. You cling to a single quote which may or may not be indicative of a person's opinion. That is your entire argument. You've become somewhat of a joke in this thread.

O RLY? Emmitt gave him credit for his success? I'd love to see this quote. By the way, people aren't always honest when they're complimentary. I'm sure your parents told you that you were a smart young man at some point.

Oh no, you are angry now, huh? But, you still haven't offered any opinions to the contrary and you called Emmitt and idiot for daring to disagree with you. You haven't refuted my stats with stats that disprove my stance. But, that Gore quote really has you you hung up, huh? Boy, life would be much better for you if Gore hadn't said that. Oh, that's right, so did Emmitt!:laugh2:

I typically try not to offer opinions when I'm making an argument. I like to stick with facts -- something you should look into.

You haven't shown a single stat that indicates that Norv is even partially responsible for Gore's slight improvement. All you've offered is the quote.

Hit a nerve, huh?

You lost an argument and you lashed out, it's a natural reaction.
I didn't lash out. But then, I didn't lose an argument. In fact, you failed to ever put one forth. The "stats argument" was pretty funny.
