Shula had the rare ability to tailor his offense to the talent he had available. Gase hasn't shown that ability. Very few other coaches have had that ability either, but that is why Shula is the winningest coach in pro football history.

I'm not a stat geek, either, I just heard that particular stat on one of those NFL Network shows, and after doing a double take, It struck me odd, so I checked it out. I definitely tend to agree with you about skewed results.
