Great post dapolla. I see a lot of things the same way you do. I agree with everything you said in your post. The only reason I have been so negative on CMB is because I visit this site every single day of the year. CWM has taken a beating on this site. I am not saying that he doesn't deserve most of it, but we have other problems besides CWM. Players making mistakes is not necessarily due to bad coaching. Coaches do not teach penalties, arm tackling, or dropping interceptions. I agree schemes put us in bad situations, but sometimes these things wouldn't happen if we didn't make mental errors. Mental errors are kind of like giving a baseball team more than 3 outs in an inning. You are going to pay. These kids do have great talent. We do have coaching issues, but I can only think of 2 teams that have dominated this decade( USC and UF) so we are not alone. Everyone has the same issues we do. Then we bring up Oklahoma, Texas, Ohio State and anyone else you want to add. The bottom line is that with exception of the big 2 right now we are all the same, striving to be number 1. We are close and I think that is what drives everyone crazy.
