Your earlier seasons in PW gold was not very good and probably worse than you were in WL. I know I poke fun of Gerr all the time but that's for chuckles and giggles but the fact is you haven't really won anything until you merged with the 85' Bears.
This is the only thing I agree with Gerr on anything but he is right, I never seen a WL guy do well. In fact they normally do horribly since they just don't know how things work in PW and coordinating plays a larger role here. My take (this is to everyone): it's just different, can't objectively say which is better. I think PW requires a lot more skills but that's just me. LOL are we going to have the same conversation we did before S20????
First I don't consider myself a WL guy or talent. Hence the phrase "depends on what you consider WL talent. But
If....." To me if you can stay in the WL for a season and not get demoted then you consider yourself WL talent.
Second I didn't completely run the pimps from the beginning through second half of S19. Chiwanna did most of the work. I ran the defense but with little effort. I played with the custom plays between games. But did very little scouting and/or gameplanning (and the defense was horrible). S18 was fluke. In that we were just messing around. Decided to go deep at WR and throw the ball all the time. Turned out S18 was the season of the pass. But that was just dumb luck. I was spending most of my time on the Pro/WL team. Then in S19 halfway through when it was obvious we were not doing anything in the WL and we were going to demote and start over. I started paying attention to Peewee and took over both OC and DC on the Pimps.
Third Gerr said a WL Coor couldn't take a team far (not win everything). I would consider having arguably the second best Pee Wee team pretty damn far. Since the only team we lost to in the Addicts Tourney, The GLB tourney, and the Gold playoffs was Maine. Who obviously was the best team. While doing everything. Then follow that up with Addicts Tourney championship, GLB Tourney Championship, and another Gold league final as on OC. I would say that is pretty far.
Fourth I am pretty sure the 85 Bears had not won anything (at least not recently) until I showed up. So implying that I rode Gerr's coat tails to anything is ridiculous. The fact is I had the exact same success on the Bears in S21 as I did on the Pimps in S20. We just didn't run into Maine in the tourneys......
So if a Pro Talent Cooridinator can have that kind of success in PW I am pretty sure the WL guys could too if they tried.
WL >>> than PW Gold but that is just my opinion.
