Vic Fangio is the star, not DeJean, not Baun. It's Vic.

Vic Fangio is the star, not DeJean, not Baun. It's Vic.

You might not like what I have to say about Cooper DeJean upfront, but by the end I think you can at least see where I am coming from. Vic Fangio is a genius, and has the best supporting cast in the …
