10 wins, a div title, rookie of the year, 7 game win streak, 2nd leading rusher in the league, there's a lot of positives there. No need to discredit it.

Of course he needs to discredit it. It doesnt fit the narrative to the whole fire Shanny routine. Thats why all the anti-Shanny people never acknowledge the state of the team coming out of the Vinny era (usually acting like it was a very talented team) or the 18 mil cap penalty either. It looks a lot better to include that first year or two record where we had little chance and to assume 18 mil in cap space means nothing.
Thats also why they are pushing so hard for it to happen at the end of this year. They want that 18 mil to be a difference maker so they can say "See, I told you so".
