Yep, this post sums it up quite well. I will ad that I'm not an OB fan. He
doesn't instill confidence in younger untested players. I don't believe he
has a clue as to how to lite their fire. We'll see real quick how much
patience he has with Banks.

Good post Chris. Lots of facts to back up your points. Why be a lurker, the
postage is cheap......
