Cable is the guy who took us from Shell to Well ;)
He's a genius until he proves otherwise, and I just don't understand the naysayers on that one.

Don't let them confuse you again.
It's not Huff replacing Stu, it's Wilson replacing either Stu or Huff. It's a huge upgrade no matter who twists what I wrote.

You're right we could see some neat sets, but not too much in the beginning.
Frankly, plain vanilla with JR and DMac will beat the crap out of being creative with McCown and anyone from last year.
No one is twisting your words, simply pointing out the possible scenarios. No one has suggested Cable isn't a good coach, what has been questioned is the talent he has, Harris isn't an upgrade to Sims, Harris was a first round bust, and the scouting on him as I mentioned was yeah he's a decent run blocker, but isn't to great on pass blocking and if that's the guy protecting your 60 million dollar investment I'd be concerned.

I also commented that Wilson was probably the only really good acquisition but you are still only as good as your weakest link, meaning they still have Huff/Schweigert who ever you'd like to insert here.

I've recalled similar evaluations in previous years and those who gave their analysis gave a lot more in depth scouting and information not just a gut feeling or opinion. And those evaluations failed miserably.
