Well, Let's get Ben Johnson as HC and a QB with a top 2 pick in the Draft

The disconnect between the fanbase and management is growing at a rapid pace. I am only 42, but I can remember some terrible years when we were a joke. Even in those years, I do not remember it being such a clown show type of environment. We either just had a bad head coach, lacked talent, etc. This is a new experience. We have a GM who does not seem like a football guy but knows how to manipulate the cap. Still, he is extremely hard-headed and seems hell-bent on proving he can win his way, and with his guy, we have a head coach who statistically is one of the worst head coaches in any professional sport in history, and then we also lack depth and talent. The only way we can even be an average team is if we have no injuries at all, which is really not possible. It's a very bad situation and likely much worse than most even realize.

Bold : Everyone is quick to say "bad draft pick" or "bad free agent signing" but how much of that is coaching? It's literally the coaches job to coach up players and put players in positions to succeed with good game planning. Point being, for all we know, Ireland and Loomis are doing a good job there but DA is unintentionally sabotaging it. Its really hard to say, but its a slippery slope on where to point fingers on that issue with accuracy. We know DA is responsible at some level. Depth talent has dropped every year since he took over as head coach, and starters have been performing less and less every year (slightly, but still) since DA took over as head coach. Its hard for me to call that a coincidence.


It's important to note, that every player we depend on to win (minus Carr, our two tackles, and one WR) came from the Payton regime. If they dominate, we win. If they don't, we lose. And as stated previously, all of their play as been declining yearly since Payton left.
