That streak goes back to the year before last.  Tell me again which coach could come into this club, with this talent and break that streak?

Last year was the beginning of a second complete rebuild under Caldwell. That's why most people became very vocal about firing Caldwell and Marrone after the draft when all the talented vets were offloaded and the team tried to re-do the exact same rebuild that net one not-awful season.

Urban and Baalke came into this off-season with the most cap room in the league, the best draft position of any team, and serious draft capital.

Last year's debacle-of-a-season happened specifically so that this year's debacle wouldn't happen.

Complaining about this team's lack of talent when the coach was brought in to have complete control (hence why his buddy was promoted to figurehead GM) and asking "who could succeed with this talent?" while ignoring that around 50% of the complaints about Urban is the awful roster construction isn't just moving the goal-posts, it's just straight-up removing them from the plane.

Thank you!  I hate it when people say that we won only 1 game last year so it's not Meyer's fault if we only win 1 or 2 games this year.  That's absurd.  I don't get why so many people are confused about last year.  I thought their strategy was obvious.  We were in all out rebuild mode.  We were doing everything in 2020 to position the team for huge improvement in 2021.  Our opening day roster last year included 16 rookies.  We were trading away veterans for draft picks.  We were cutting high priced players in order to free up salary cap room in 2022.  This team was positioned to make major improvement this year.  Not taking advantage of what was given to them is a major failure of Meyer/Baalke.
