Maybe if Ben studied his playbook more rather than partying in Milledgeville, GA the team would've won more in the playoffs .

I really like the emerging narrative that Tomlin's lack of playoff success is the result of him being a bad coach but McCarthy's lack of playoff success is just a reason that he will be a better coach.

I do not care how each individual person evaluates this or that coach...but at least be internally consistent. Portraying yourself as this clinical assessor of the state of a team and then using broken logic repeatedly just undermines whatever position you are trying to stake out.

If you didn't like stale gameplans, odd challenges, questionable clock management, and a wandering commitment to the running game from Tomlin; then you better buckle up for the Mike McCarthy experience. Because it is that - or, at least it was exactly that in Green Bay. Maybe he has changed? But I doubt it.

Is Mike McCarthy a better offensive coach than Mike Tomlin? Absolutely. Is he better with QBs? Certainly. Does he have significant flaws and drawbacks as the dude in charge? Also, yes.

There's a reason McCarthy wasn't kept around by the Packers and Cowboys.
