Lunch time ramble

Depends on the situation? Sure. I\'d say that in the past, you might have been more likely to see players carrying coaches. Back when players stayed in one place and it was possible to build dynasties, I\'d say that was more likely.

In today\'s NFL, I\'d say coaching matters more. Of the teams to have gone to the Super Bowl over the last 5 years or so, more see to have gotten there with coaching rather than a lot of talent. Sure, the Rams were loaded, and Baltimore and Tampa had great defenses, but New England, New York, even the Raiders? I don\'t think you can make the show without a combination of both good players and good coaching. Still, to me, if talent really mattered more, the Saints, Dolphins, and even the Skins or Bucs wouldn\'t have missed the playoffs. Teams like Dallas, Philly, Tenessee, even Carolina would not be in.
