LET GUN FINISH WHAT HE STARTED

In regards to the "never improved two years in a row", I'm not convinced that's an accurate benchmark of Gun's ability to build a D. It's looking at stats in a vacuum, ignoring any details that may have accompanied the situation. What role did injuries and player turnover play?

As someone else mentioned, Several of the times Gun's D got "worse" it was following a year when they were first in the league. They had nowhere to go but down.

Also previously mentioned, Gun has never had to build a D up from rock bottom, so previous examples aren't comparable situations.

I'm not a Gun homer, and I'm not convinced he'll get this turned around. But so far most of the arguments against him being able to are pretty weak IMO.
