talent versus production. None of the things you just said are wrong, but the context changes.
I would argue we've had more talent than the production of the group as a whole has shown. As was mentioned above, we should be intrigued by the potential of Knox, Scott, and Gicinto, but potential is just that. We're talking about their talent, not their production. Not saying they've failed or they're not good because their production is not top notch yet. Just noting that is isn't.
While we've had some talent in the years mentioned above, there have been problems. Drops. Ability to get open. Running the wrong route. And so while we've had some good individual seasons, what if more than one guy stepped up at the same time.
As far as position coach, I haven't really referenced that as Matt did and I won't make any declarative statements, but I do think it is fair to ask some questions.
Were Moore's issues all about Moore or did a coach never find a way to relate to him? I'd guess it's Moore, but we can't prove it.
Why did Drew have so many misses that were blamed on guys running the wrong route? Inexperience? Lack of intelligence? Or lack of coaching? And if it was lack of coaching, what aspect was to blame? Proper communication? Overly complex reads? Lack of reps?
Again, not pointing blame because we don't know all of the details to be able to do so. But asking the questions is perfectly fine.
You said yourself that it takes time to recover. If we are indeed in need of recovering, that proves that the production of the group is not what it could or should be. So while Matt maybe partly off base, he can't be totally off base of there would be no need to "recover".
