2) Honest question comment:  Do we really have overwhelming evidence -- or even solid evidence -- that Shaw is overly cautious/stubborn on "personnel decisions"?  I don't really think so. 

I don't know if Shaw's been overly cautious/stubborn on personnel decisions. It's some of the in-game playcalling--whether that's Shaw or Hamilton, can't say for sure--that strikes me as meriting that. I mean, it's been two years of trying that jump ball to Toilolo. We get it, theoretically it seems like a grand idea. Can't disagree with you there. But it almost never works. And that's with Luck trying it too. It's not as if the play represents a game-theoretic counter to some other move. It just kind of sucks. Let's shelve it.

As to the personnel matters in stubbornness...well, Shaw's setting himself up for the criticism. Either everything improves on offense...or Shaw seems delusional/stubborn. It's hard to tell until the end of the season, and even then we may never really know.
