Giving Credit Where Credit's Due: Offensive Stats Before and After the Sherm Lewis Hire

[freddyg12]

Good points on the above post and by Schefter.

I think you also have to figure in the simple fact that it took a burden off of Zorn. Of course he's still involved, but given what he's been through, his stubborn determination & the fact that he's a HC & needs to pay attention to a lot of other things, simply giving these duties to someone w/a fresh perspective is worth something. Not taking credit away from Lewis, but to some degree there might've been improvement simply because Zorn is not calling the plays.

It's kinda like when you're writing a long paper or report. After you've worked on for a while it's hard to edit your own material & read it like your audience does. Having a fresh set of eyes can help a lot.
