Like barrett I do not begrudge Kubiak's success as the head coach of a team with an excellent coaching staff. It would have been fantastic had he put a competent staff together six years ago but what can you do? Last year there was a notable lack of halfback passes, fewer bonehead challenges than usual and no suicidal clock management decisions.

I'm still not sold on Smith. For every home-run draft he seems to oversee two or three that just suck massively. But there's not a hell of a lot I can do about that, either.

At the end of the day I think if the team's winning then continuity is good.
