I think you make a good point. I don’t like the whole “if we are just a bit better than Wilson” mentality. I used to look at business plans for work a few jobs ago. I would see all the time these plans that would say “We are going after the X market, which is a $10B market. If we can capture just 1% of that, we will be a $100M company.” No VC wants to invest in an entrepreneur that is trying to capture 1%, of the market. Try to be the biggest player in the market.
It is true that if we had someone just a bit better passer we could have beat UCLA and AZ, but as someone pointed out, we don’t have Booker anymore. I think to stay at the 10 win level we need to be significantly better in the passing game. And, I think we will be.
