TheDeuce

Venturi and Haslett were both awful. Plain and simple. They took a talented team and drove them into the deep icy waters of mediocrity. I'm gald their gone, good riddance. Excited about Gibbs. Excited about a fresh start. Haslett was young and energetic, and people liked that. But he also lacked real intelligence, IMO, about football; and also a lack of discipline. I think Payton has the total package. He's young, energetic, and extremely smart. He turned Testaverde, Collins, and Q Carter into 3000 yard passers. You look at what those guys did a year after they left Payton, and they sucked. Collins is awful now. Testaverde went from 3000 yards to total crap. And Q Carter is just a total drug addict, but I guess that has nothing to do with Payton. Anyways, we should be glad that Venturi and Haslett, and their awful coaching, are gone.
