Dead wrong. He's developed it.
Carr, Flowers, Dorsey -- all took massive steps forward under the coaches that Pioli's hired.
If you want to take one of those players away from me, claiming they were already going to be that good, I'll give you Flowers, and that's it.
Carr became a #1 corner, and Dorsey became an elite run stopper at the DE position. And we took several players who were underperforming for multiple years before Pioli arrived -- Bowe, Hali, Johnson -- and turned them into All Pros and Pro Bowlers.
Either everybody just coincidentally hit their stride at the same exact moment, or Herm and Carl's talent development was somewhere near terrible, whereas Pioli's has been adequate to great.
