I agree that in terms of the outcome of the season, having a good QB and terrible results isn’t going to make me any happier.
Still, in a game like last night, between Glennon and O’Brien, I think Glennon is probably more vulnerable to judgement than O’Brien. I think most people have made up their mind on the “is O’Brien a good coach” argument, even if there isn’t consensus in the fanbase. The question of whether Glennon is a good quarterback is still open for debate and will probably be the topic of discussion for the next month or two. That was really my motivation in this article.
But like you said, the legacy of O’Brien won’t be if he can produce a good QB, it will be if he can follow-up a 9 win season with another successful season.
