3. I disagree. Tom Brady, dislike him as I do, is GOAT. You can argue against it, but the evidence is stacked against you. Also, really there's more evidence that Gruden is the more influential of the two to offensive success, he got a lot out of Dalton. Cousins hasn't had the chance to prove his numbers aren't a product of the system. I also think this year showed more about Gruden ability to scheme than Kirk playing above the talent level of the team, it's not like he made any of his receivers look like all stars this year.
4. Agreed. Totally, but as a Skins fan, it makes him look like a douche to me.

I'd like to agree to disagree on 1, 2, and 4.
3. I'm not arguing TFB isn't the GOAT, I'm saying despite the QB being the most important position on the team, any QB can only do much. I admit you and Meks might be right about Gruden being the major factor, in this case given his success here and Cincy, since Cousins didn't do much the last 2 years of the Shanahans. We will see more next season when Gruden has a different QB here. But good point, Meks.
