I'd like to discuss Sam Wyche.
Here is a guy that hasn't had any success since screwing up the Bengals way back when (maybe 15 years ago). From Cincy he moves to Tampa and manages to do absolutely nothing with the Bucs for 3 straight years. He then disappears for 10 years (so called "retirement) and is pulled onto the Bills staff as a QB coach.
Last year he managed to skate by as Bledsoe absorbed much of the blame. This season he is asked to condition a kid that so wet behind the ears it looks as if he was just rescued from spilling over great Niagara.
What exactly did Sam do to improve Bledsoe's game? What could he do? We're talking about a veteran that has seen and heard almost everything. A veteran that went without a QB coach the year prior to Sam venturing out of retirment.
Then on walks Losman. A kid that has talent, speed, confidence, want and ability. Before the season even begins Losman is quoted as finding it "weird to lead grown men". After the first half of game 1, Losman then goes on a successful rampage of leading grown men to defeat after defeat. Game after game he seems to never get better, and he never really fixes what was broken. Losman is then benched during two consecutive games.
So please tell me why coaching shouldn't share the blame for Losman's early demise?
