I think that was a product of the system.

A big part of any 'system' is how well the QB plays...the Jets are a perfect example. Over the last three years when he plays well, it's a great system. When he plays crappy, the system sucks.
Same for Michael Vick. When he's running and throwing all over the place it's a great system. When he's turning the ball over left and right...no more great system.
And it's been the same 'system' for both.

Same thing with the Colts. For 9 years, the Colts have had the best offensive system in the league. But the system was a bad system this year.

Oh boy. Here come the posts about how the whole problem with Indianapolis this year is the defense.

yes of course you have to execute it. that's true. so i would say that in some cases its a combination of both. good system and good execution. you could have a great system but you won't get far without the right players to execute it. then there are those other cases where you pull a player out of one system and doesn't workout in another.
Let me tell you that dabol did a good job this season with Miami. I was satisfied with what I saw. probably won't be back next season. I'm gonna go ahead and move the posts to the regular nfl thread so you guys can continue this discussion there.Brian Dabol the offensive coordinator for the Dolphins ran the same "system" the Patriots do(as he did in Cleveland under Crennel and Mangini), so did McDaniels in Denver and St. Louis. How'd that look without Brady? Awesome, aint?
I know you said about this belonging in the NFL thread, but sometimes you(I) get sick of hearing the same nonsensical crap about the 2008 Patriots without Brady.
so? let others speak. does every one have to agree with your opinions? i don't think so
ExcellentDefinitely not. In fact, it's more interesting when they don't.

Two things here. One, even though Peyton Manning was out all year, there are other offensive players on the team besides Manning. Im not saying they should've gone 14-2 w/o Manning but they had more talented players besides Manning.
Second, I was pretty impressed with Matt Flynn. Those are some awesome stats. If someone does sign Flynn, will he suffer from the "Rob Johnson Debacle". If you remember, he had one good game against the Jags back in, I think, '97 and got a huge contract from the Bills and it never panned out. I also think there was a qb controversery between him and Doug Flutie.
