re: Why do people on this board think they know better than the coaching staff?

Just because information may be asymmetrical doesn't mean the coach is always right
quote:nope. but in regards to play calling, fan criticism is pretty much absurd. it's way, way more complicated than any fan has the ability to effectively process better than an entire staff of coaches. moreover, there is an art vs science aspect to playcalling. even if a fan was a supergenius and could understand the history of playcalling better than the staff, there's no guarantee they could artfully call an entire season's worth of games with any success whatsoever.
More information still doesn't guarantee an optimal decision

Play calling is a good example. While you are right in many respects (though clearly I disagree that no lay person could understand it better than those on a staff), it would be fair criticism on 4 and one from the opponents 45 in the first quarter of a tie game, if someone said, for instance, I can't believe we threw it into the endzone when we should have just run it up the middle. Our running back had 40 yards, averaged about 5 yards a carry on that drive, and was unstoppable.
It depends on degree. It isn't always about whether we should have swap blocked something or trapped, sometimes it is about general things that any person can see, no?
