Hindsight is 20/20.  We didn't realize we had it good then.  We thought someone could do better.  Well, we have that someone.  They are not doing better.  They are doing far worse and not even working to the strengths of the quarterback.  THAT is a huge problem.  That was the promise Meyer made

Except, the spinwheel came out during the 2007 season. We lost 4 games that year. And while I will agree that our offense was better that year than this (could it be worse?), it was still very predictable and even with two of the best all time players Mullen couldn't win more than 9 games.
