Thank you for that. After the completely screwed day I had, a good chuckle is always good for the soul......
Can you point out where Jay showed solid leadership last season ?
Welcome home. Kick back with a cold one and enjoy some NFL.
I think the leadership was easy to see last season. There are about five examples that quickly come to mind, but these were probably the two biggest that everyone would agree on:
1. Taking a team whose season was basically already over into Dallas in primetime. Starting a 3rd string QB in a new offense against what had been the hottest team in the league and getting the win. It would have been easy to fold in such circumstances. That Dallas team finished with a record of 12-4. They were 6-1 going into that game, and had just beaten Seattle on the road. Almost no one beats Seattle on the road. That was obviously great leadership.
2. When was the last time a rookie HC had the balls, gravitas and leadership to bench the first round QB, and favorite player of a demanding owner? I'm sure there must be another example of it, but I can't recall of any at the moment. That also took great leadership, and illustrates the respect that he has within the organization. Imagine if a first year Jim Zorn had tried to do the same. No chance.
That's what all fans were clamoring for, right? A HC who would stand up to Snyder. A HC who would bring true competition. And a HC who could rally the team on the road in primetime against a strong opponent.
That's exactly what we got.
