Hard to argue with you. I think Kubiak will be an upgrade over Carmichael. My question is what has he done at previous positions. Shanahan was the one calling all the plays in SF and Kubiak in Minnesota as OC didn't work out for whatever reason. It all leads to a wait and see approach for me. I'm hopeful as all fans are this time of year. The opening schedule after Carolina is probably one of the top 5 toughest stretches in the NFL. Have some success say 3-3 to start that leads to a potentially great season. Get off to a 1-5 start, the team and fanbase will turn quickly on Allen. I'm hoping for a 3-3 start at best.
