I thought the problem was that our scheme was dumb for putting Lofton on receivers, his blitzes were as obvious and telegraphed as could be, and his entire scheme was unimaginative and predictable. If that's true, then how can you blame Lofton for doing poorly in pass coverage or not having good production rushing the passer? I'm not doom and gloom here, but this isn't something to be excited about. This is entirely an, "in TD I trust move," because counting on Lofa and Akeem on the surface is not a very good alternative to Lofton at all.

How is it that you're a mod with the attitude you always post with?

If BVG didn't go to Auburn, his ass was getting fired. Don't make it sound like "complaining about him" was something only idiots did. Your condescending tone about it makes it sound like you think the guy was a genius or something.

Whether BVG's scheme was bad or not, Lofton was still put in positions to make plays and he failed to make them. No matter how you spin it, everyone on the planet knows Lofton was not good at pass rush and a liability in pass coverage. BVG didn't make him miss plays that were makable.
