re: Coach Smart’s expectations of Stetson Bennett

quote:

It was obvious to all that Catalina was a guard. Guess what position he held on NFL practice squads for 3 years?

There could be dozens of reasons why the coaches placed him at Tackle instead of guard. One being no other viable tackle.

Why do you think they played him at tackle instead of guard? Do you think Pittman and Kirby are that bad in evaluating talent?

That premise would excuse criticism of everyone all of the time.

Not really. I mean if you are "in the know" with personal experience or happen to know all the intangibles then have at it.
Do you think it reasonable to criticize someone when there are other reasons that you are not privy to at play? That is why I prefer to allow people with the correct knowledge to correct situations. There have been many, many instances of people being accused of malfeasance and later finding out that the information that criticism/accusation was based on was incorrect.
Richard Jewell would be one example and that would not even be the most recent or egregious.

Here is the key. They did not have all the information and made a poor suggestion. Right?

Blindly trusting the doctor's advice (who is much more qualified with medicine and small children than i am) distressed my daughter's health and well being.

But the doctors were making their diagnosis based upon the information they had....and did not have all of the information. I think you made my point for me.

I will strongly agree to disagree.

And that's fine. I am merely trying to give people another perspective. Another way to look at things.
