He has never been the guy who made the final decision on an offensive play. I know this for a fact because it's right there in his resume'. I'm sure he's had input, and might even have been drawing up schemes which WERE utilized. Heck, it's entirely possible that he was drawing up every single GOOD offensive scheme for the last year, and Norve just gave his approval to them(doubtful, but within the realm of possibility). But that doesn't change the fact that he has never been THE man. As I said in my post, it's entirely possible that he will wind up as a great OC...anythings possible. But it's also PROBABLE that he will make costly mistakes this season while he is LEARNING to be THE man. Seriously, is there ANY possibility of us NOT having a veteran at QB this season now? Would any coach in his right mind have a rookie at QB and OC at the same time? Maybe it all works out. Maybe we have a great season. I hope and pray that it does the same way I hoped and prayed that we would make it through the season without any injuries on the O-line. Unfortunately, the odds won out in that situation, and I suspect that the odds will win out here as well. I just don't want to see Ricky suffer the same fate as Marino....his best years wasted on missed opportunities.
