Absolutely, I am getting disgusted with people who go out and say that not winning a championship does not diminish your legacy of a player. Um ya it does. What's the goal of a football season again? Make the Probowl right? No how about holding up that shiny football on a pole at the end of the year.
The best part of Sunday Countdown was when Tom Jackson was trying to make an argument about how Marty Schottenheimer is still a great coach and he brought up the play where Three Day Old Cheeseburger made a shoe string tackle. Without that the Steelers would not have won a championship. So he turns to Jaws and goes if Cheeseburger does not make that tackle and Cowher did not win a championship is he any less of a coach. And Jaws hilariously goes 'Yes, Absolutely'. Jackson starts shaking his head as he was trying to make a loser point, and he was completely denied by Jaws. Than Jaws went into a rant about how he lost Superbowl XV and he's less of a QB because of it.
There's a reason Marty Schottenheimer has not won a superbowl, he makes fatal errors down the stretch of games. Sure he's had bad luck, but so does every other coach. He made several poor decisions during his game this weekend, from going for it on 4th and 11 and ignoring a 48 yard field goal attempt, to dialing up a challenge and wasting a timeout which was incredibly fatal, all ending up losing a game that they had no business losing.
Michael Kay is one of the losers trying to argue that Peyton Manning is getting unfair criticism because he hasn't won a Superbowl. Another point where I would like to kick Michael in the groin. Peyton has great regular season numbers and most of the perceived blame for Manning's losses goes to his defense. But look at his postseason numbers. He's thrown a total of 3 of his total 16 career touchdowns in the 6 games his Colts have lost. That's not losing due to a poor performance by the defense. It's a false perception. Peyton flat out has not been good in the Postseason, he's had 3 great games and 8 mediocre to horrible games. Atleast Dan Marino had a few very good games in playoff losses.
Simple point about Peyton Manning and if he never wins a Superbowl, the standard is higher for Peyton Manning. We're not saying that Dilfer is better than Manning, we're saying without a championship Manning has no chance to become the greatest quarterback of all time. Ask anyone with a brain and they'll take Brady over Manning in a big spot anyday, its common sense, who cares if Manning puts up the huge numbers, Brady gets it done when it matters. Hell last year with a golden opportunity to beat the Steelers after the Cheeseburger tackle who couldn't get his shaky field goal kicker in better position than a 48 yarder.
Coincidence the year after Tony Dungy was canned the Bucs won the Superbowl? I think not.
Above all coaches and quarterbacks have the biggest influence over the results of games and because of this they are held to a higher standard when judged without a Championship. The reasons are valid, so if you're still active sack up and get it done.
