You could choose to see it that way. Or you could choose to see a young team grow into a veteran team. What I hate the most is watching a veteran team run into the ground with no hope for the future, which is what we've been doing for 5 years.
It one of the things I hated about DA. He would just keep playing veteran players that were not getting the job done. He refused to take a risk with the younger players in hopes of finding a gem unless he was forced to do it. Like the WR situation this year, he would not play the young guys like Means or Tipton early int he season so by the time everyone else was injured and they had to play, they had no experience. And, the way Means played before his injury, I do wonder if he was better than Cedrick Wilson and if he should not have been taking some snaps from Shaheed so Shaheed could stay healthy.
