But Gun's average at best, even without a forced upon him sh*tbag scheme, so he has to go.
Gun only looked great when he was surrounded with very very high talent.
We need a D-coord. who can put a decent defense on the field with only 75 - 80% of the puzzle put together.
With Gun, we'd have to wait till nearly every single positon was upgraded with a very high caliber player, just to have an effective defense. And with the state of our D right now, that could be a very long wait. No Thanks.

You know, I'd almost buy that if anyone can name from memory all the starting D-linemen, all the linebackers, all the corners, and all the safeties on the 1998 Kansas City Chiefs team. I can't. Here's my go at it, and even this might be wrong:
D-line: Neil Smith, Dan Saleamua
Line Backers: Derrek Thomas, Donnie Edwards
Corners: James Hasty, Dale Carter
Safeties: ?
You see? Either there just weren't that many standouts, or my 46yr-old memory is faded.
