I chuckled at this Erik McCoy quote from a NOF Article

I think too much was put on the vets in the lockerroom to do that. You could potentially get away with that if say Drew was still QB, because his ability to hold people accountable translates. I don't think Carr holds that level of weight as a person, which is why he's better paired with an OC like a Gruden or at this point Kubiak who is a STRONG voice that's also respected. That way the players can focus on playing rather than holding their teammates, who are also grown men, accountable. Something the coaches in theory should be doing the majority of anyway
Even with Drew here, accountability always came from the top.

The lack of accountability was a DA/Sneaky Pete thing and if we are being honest, last season was probably more DA than we want to admit. Everything was all good when OTAs and training camp wasn't as "rigid" as it was with CSP, but the way we came out in 2022 told me everything that I needed to know. Player/locker room leadership IS needed but accountability from the top is key.
