Not a bad loss if so. I could see UT beating UF and having a letdown at Texas Saturday. 2-0 or 1-1 would be a great week

More likely the letdown is against UF. Our guys know about Barnes and Texas. They'll be up for that one. Might not win but it won't be due to a let down.

Joe Milton is in same situation as Hendon Hooker.

Both will be backups until traded to a team in need of QB, Lions have Goff and Patriots are very high on Drake Maye whom actually played pretty well for Patriots this season.

I'm not praising it. I'm saying he made the best of a situation that didn't work as well as he hoped. By most indications, he did everything right. Top QB, solid WR room, 5* OT. In the end it didn't work as well as expected. His fault? Maybe, maybe not. His responsibility? Absolutely, and it appears he is acting on that.

But unlike you, I'm not gonna go full hubris and act like I have a real clue how to do better than he did.

It kind of depends on what was meant by "his responsibility". Is passing game performance and WR expectations under his purview? Absolutely? Is he "responsible" for the drop in WR room productions, as in he was a direct cause/fault? That's another thing.

The sad thing is that the illustration of the point is indicative that what he meant by "responsible" is that he CAUSED the lack of production. How else would the point be equivalent to having set the forest fire?

That's a pretty sad assumption to put forth while claiming to support the coaches, imho.

The coach is responsible for the production in the same way that the forest manager is responsible for the forest. If something or someone causes a fire, they respond by removing that which caused the fire. You don't generally put them in cuffs over what someone else did.

There are so many possible reasons for the lack of productivity in the WR room that it takes a mighty jump to claim "Well, it's coach X's fault."

Disclaimer: Responsibility does not always mean "fault". But again, to liken the definition to setting a forest fire, the intent of the vocabulary is pretty clear.
