I am not incredibly thrilled about being in-house, but in his defense, he was only here a few months. So he was not here long enough to absorb the "stink".

Let's see how it plays out.

That's what happens every time this team does something stupid. We "wait and see what happens." Guess what, it's always the same thing. It fails and we start all over. If it ever succeeded, we wouldn't be in the current situation we are in. I'm tired of waiting and seeing. When is it our turn to see this team actually run like a real NFL franchise? We had a golden opportunity to build a real staff around a real QB. Instead we hire a college HC with no NFL experience, who has questionable character, health problems and is power hungry. Then we hire one of the worst GM candidates in the NFL, because he's friends with Meyer, then we retain an O-Line coach who has completely failed to develop our young OT's and is widely considered one of the worst O-Line coaches in the league. What's next? Are we gonna retain Todd Wash as Defensive Coordinator? I'm expecting that. 

Almost always, when this board is largely in agreement on certain moves, the board is usually right. I haven't see too many people on here that like any of these moves. Why is it so apparent to us, but not to the "professional football people." It's called incompetence and it starts from the owner down. I'm getting older and I just wanna see this team win a Superbowl before I die. When we lucked into getting Lawrence I thought that might happen. He needs help though and so far, he's not getting it. My dream is slipping away.

Season 1:  2-14
Season 2:  5-11
Season 3:  8-8
Season 4:  12-4
Season 5:  11-4-1
Season 6:  13-3

However, that's not what happened.  The reality is reversed.  His actual records went as follows:

Season 1:  13-3
Season 2:  11-4-1
Season 3:  12-4
Season 4:  8-8
Season 5:  5-11
Season 6:  2-14

That's the concern.

Come on man those are hate stats, stop it! You're making my head hurt! 

It's a bad hire. I'd argue at best we have another Caldwell, we did not improve and we may have even severely downgraded the GM spot. I kinda feel bad for Dave, as soon as his team was seen into fruition(FINALLY) in 2017, after several years of building, we bring in ole Tom(love ya Tom, but ya [BLEEP] us) and made Dave into a puppet to Tom. Then old man Tom practically threw a hand grenade at the roster. Then Shad goes and plays GM and strips him of his duties again. It has been 1 major disfunction with Khan as owner, with the hires we've made I dont see it changing. I'd like to be 100% wrong though.

Be prepared for a full on aneurysm, because it isn't gonna stop.
