It just blows my mind that people refuse to give any credit whatsoever to Haley for making a lot of our players better. Nor will they acknowledge that the drop off this season has as much to do with Romeo sucking as a coach as it does that Haley was maybe getting something out of these players.
But again, this is exaggeration planet. You're right. Haley did absolutely nothing right. Nothing. |

Who are the players whom Haley "improved"? Bowe? Was a stud before Haley arrived. DJ? Potentially true. Still a stud this year, so definitely not a "loser." Hali? See DJ. Flowers? Nope. Stud before Haley arrived. Albert? Nope. Good before Haley arrived and good after. Oh, you meant "losers" in a general sense? Well that was true during Haley's tenure, too. Ironic that you say this is "exaggeration planet" after making such an inaccurate and hyperbolic initial statement. |

By the way, all these guys got far worse after RAC took over in 2013. The team was in peak physical condition. You had guys working their tail off in practice. And you had freelancers playing with discipline. Last year, we had people laughably claiming RAC deserved credit for that and Haley didn't. How well is that theory holding up now? It is completely exaggeration to say nobody got better. Apart from maybe McCluster, name another player on this team who didn't reach his potential? And Cassel doesn't count, because he didn't have talent. |

Guess where most people will stop reading.
I know, I know. Haley, our last coaching messiah, broke Bowe down to build him back up into a 1000-yard receiver who still has lapses in concentration. And the team lost 467 pounds collectively! No sizzle! The right 53! Cassel was clearly the great albatross that doomed what would otherwise be the brilliant coaching career of the best golfer in the NFL. But I have this one lingering question: If Haley was building everyone up, and all the players were ascending under him, why did the team play so poorly in '11? Fresh off a promising playoff performance in '10, that team was poised for greatness. He was a piece of ****ing shit HC. This doesn't necessarily mean that everything he touched turned to ****--after all, the man isn't Pioli--but he wasn't anywhere close to being good. But we can continue to blame everyone else for Haley's failings. No way. No ****ing way was he really as bad as the results suggest. The stats lie. |

Which is exactly why you lose credibility. Three years ago, we were talking about drafting Russell Okung and moving Albert to Guard because he just wasn't good enough to play left tackle. Today, he's a top tier left tackle and people want to franchise tag him and are enraged at the thought that Pioli may choose to not re-sign him. He improved dramatically. It's ridiculous to suggest he's not significantly better than he was as a rookie.

The above is a completely invented narrative for many of the posters on this board, including the vast majority of posters whom I interact with on this site. Hell, we've largely lambasted any suggestions of moving Albert, much like we used to mock individuals who decried the play of Carr. |

Look at the final records in the AFCW last year and tell me Haley doesn't win the division a second year in a row with a healthy team and a ****ing horrid quarterback situation. |
