But the bottom line is that he's a top 10 owner dealing with a bottom 5 market/franchise.

He's been trying to figure out how to turn it around.  And he finally fell butt backwards into a franchise QB. 

He then figured he'd give these jorts wearing, mullet headed, southern hicks their guy and hired University of Florida legend Urban Meyer. 

He then realized his mistake and corrected it in season.

Next,  the most vocal part of the fan base was screaming for Leftwich.  He made the right move and got Pederson.

While baalke is still here,  the HC and QB are quintessential to success.  Shad fell into the QB. 

But to ignore the fact that he hired Pederson is disingenuous. 

You have to credit Khan as an owner.  He's inexperienced.  But he's beginning to figure it out.  I'm happy he's our owner when you look at the other owners on the League.

So I’m curious how we know hiring Pederson was ‘the right move’?  The 4-8 record?  The DC hire?  The great 4th quarters the team has played?  Oh, I know, the way we followed the Ravens win with a strong game against the Lions.

Regardless of who was or wasn’t hired, what I’ve seen so far gives me no reason to be sure that ‘Pederson was the right choice’.

Pederson was absolutely the right choice. If you can't see how much better our offense is currently you're crazy. Defensively it's not hard to imagine them struggling considering the amount of young/new players mixed with a coach who never called defense. If theres anything Doug has done wrong so far, it's definitely not picking a veteran DC.
