The problem
ajcardfan said:The main difference, football wise, is that Buddy had a top ten offense to start with. All three of our units were a disaster at the end of last season. So, Green "ripping apart" the team doesn't exactly have the same magnitude as what Buddy did. Green is chopping up a turd, Buddy was hacking a pretty good pork chop apart.
An excellent point. The '94 yeam led by Bugel was in the top ten league-wide in offense and defense. Overnight because of Buddy's incompetence the defense got slightly better production-wise while the offense plummeted. It can be argued that the 1994 team was the best version of the Cardinals that Arizona has ever seen, that being said 2003 was probably the worst. Blowing up the offense was a bad move by Buddy back then because they were in fact, actually okay. Green is dealing with the worst offense and defense in the NFL. Blowing up the 2003 team can be nothing but a good thing.
