I am excited about the player development I saw from beginning to end. I could give a shit about the wins. I saw improvement from the first game to the last. Something not noticeable in years past.
I agree, player development was among the positive signs. To matter, it has to translate to winning though. It should, but as always, LIPO is the answer for now. The coaches have to improve their game day performances too, or they'll just lose with better, more developed talent.
Along those lines, among the most stark of Seven's flaws has to be the lack of player development. Good god, what the hell was that dipshit up to, beyond chugging beers and chasing tail at Joey's (allegedly)? Seriously. The quarterbacks actually devolved under him. Wow, just fucking wow.
