Fans who blame the Offensive Coordinator are Stupid

[Lambert]

Anytime your listening to a post game show or reading a message board and you
hear or read a fan complaining about the Offensive Coordinator for most of the problems, then you know you are dealing with an idiot. Fans like this are the most unintelligent we have among us. They think "they know better" than the coordinator.

How good would Lebeau's defense be if he had players equal to the ability of Colon and Starks on the outside instead of Harrison and Woodley? Ya think he might have a few problems? How about place bums equal to that of Kendall Simmons and Hartwig up the middle and remove guys like Smith and Hampton? think those 4 changes might make one's defense a bit worse?
Wake up people. Don't be the same average fan that makes his way thru life in such
ignorance. Raise your level of play here.

Re: Fans who blame the Offensive Coordinator are Stupid

Any time you're reading a message board and you read someone who
a) can't tell the difference between "your" and "you're";
b) continually and habitually misspells the names of players on a team he claims to be a fan of;
c) needs to create one or more fake ID's to support his points of view and avoid being banned;
d) starts up inane threads whose basic underlying premise is always "my opinion is right and anybody else's is wrong";

... then you know you're dealing with an idiot.

Thank you. It is pretty hard to win A superbowl when you don't have
much of an offensive line. Arians should be hailed a hero.

Name a Superbowl team that had a worse line then the Steelers offensive line
last year?

Re: Fans who blame the Offensive Coordinator are Stupid

I guess having possibly the best defense in decades had nothing to do with it... it was the miracle of Ariens.



our offense was questionable all year... and bruce ariens was not the reason we have 6 lombardi's, our defense and the 4th quarter magic of #7 are.

he's not as horrible as I think some of us believe (myself included) but he's not the critical cog by any stretch.

I agree... but there is no need to name call MSM.. I mean Lambert.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! .... Priceless!

..... Anyway, anyone with half a brain knows that Arians hasn't been getting the job done to any adequate level.... He's been "learning on the job" since he moved-up on the coaching staff... How many teams tollerate the qb dictating to the OC as to what to do with the offense? (if, in fact, that actually happened last season) .... And isn't it amazing that we were the first Super Bowl winner in a long time that didn't have our OC targeted for a coaching position elsewhere? ....... Good grief! Arians may have been a part of the staff, but we won INSPITE of him, not BECAUSE of him......

....... What a freakin' joke........

disagree.. while I have hated him at times.. we have also seen what happened when Ben started practicing after the Washington debacle..

Arians isn't the greatest OC but he will do IMO.. all I ask is for a FB when FWP is in the backfield...

We have won despite Arians. The defense and Bens ability to keep a play alive are the reasons we have won.

As many say, with this offensive line being lack luster, all the more reason any smart O-cord would have a fullback in there with Willie. A real fullback and not Davis. Having Davis on the team shows Arians lack of knowing talent.

I will guarantee you that Manning, Warner, Favre and Brady "dictate" what they want to do. Really gets down to what you mean by "dictate." I really don't think Ben or any other QB draws up the gameplan but I will guarantee you most all successful veteran QB have significant input into the gameplan.

Arians is not better or worse off than any other OC who has a franshise QB isn this respect. Using this is a weak argument against him just to find fault.

Re: Fans who blame the Offensive Coordinator are Stupid

I don't care for BA that much as an OC.

But, to be totally fair, we do have a "Non-Stellar" offensive line.

So it is hard for me to say, without a doubt, that Arians wouldn't be "better" with a "better" O-line.

But, his lack of imagination and stubborness disturbs me.

And my 3 least favorite words are now "Single Back Set".

But I sincerly hope that something "clicks" in the O-line and with BA and the offense is on par with the defense this year.

As long as we stay healthy I expect us to have a very good offense this season. The OL will develop together and get better even though they may never be great. Mendenhall will have a huge impact IMO. Sweed and Wallace will improve as the season goes on and they get experience and they will present real challenges to opposing defenses. McDonald will be solid.

I only hope that Ben throws to Miller and Spaeth much more to loosen up the defenses. That is the one element of this offense I want to see much more of.
