I was a bit concerned with Meyer due to his lack of NFL experience but thought it made sense to see what he could do since he had a great college career. I thought he'd be a good coach after a few games to gather experience.. boy was I ever was wrong there. I doubted the hype of Lawrence as a generational talent (looks like I was right there so far) but thought he'd be a pretty good NFL QB and would be showing that by now (wrong). I thought Hyde would make a nice one two punch with Robinson. Not so far. I thought letting Conley and Cole get away would haunt the team. Got that one right. I thought it was a mistake to not make big changes on the OL. I'll take that as a W too.

My biggest concern in that area was hiring the coach before the GM takes all the accountability off the GM if the coach is a flop. That, and you are challenged to find a manager who is cool to come in and work with an unproven (AT THIS LEVEL, mind you) coach. You basically sabotage your GM search from the get-go with this approach, and it appears that we either settled on Baalke or he took salesmanship lessons from our HC.

Especially where we sat (crapton of cap, heap of early picks, full build set to begin), the GM hire was significantly more important than the HC hire, we phoned it in, and the results are plain to see.

....If Tony is speaking to the media about how Urbz is dumping on his assistants, does that mean Urbz can't fire him immediately?

3. I did not like this hire and stated so. 

4. You can't put anything on Lawrence right now. He's a rookie QB who isn't used to losing, behind a miserable O-Line and his receivers are without question, the worst in the NFL. I mean they are just totally incompetent. To say this offense lacks talent, is the understatement of the century. 

5. I was EXTREMELY wrong about the WR's. I honestly thought they would be one of the strengths of the team. I couldn't have been more off course. That was definitely a HUGE blunder on my part and I accept that.

Re: 5, gotta wonder how much of past performance was a result of Keenan's coaching. Or if Urbz let the wrong WRs go this offseason.
