At some point you have to point the finger at the guy responsible for developing players, developing schemes, developing game plans, and making sure the players execute.

Why is it that other teams improve while our team never does?  

Denver has lost tons of draft picks, and yet they look more competent than we do.  Why is that?  They don't even have picks to improve with.  But if you have a HC that knows how to hire competent coaches and knows how to develop players, teams can still get better.

Why is it that we have gotten worse?  I mean, at some point you have to just accept the reality that Pederson is a bad HC.

Edit:  All this to say that Baalke should also be fired.  But let's not pretend that Pederson isn't a terrible HC.

Our team improved substantially while Doug has been here you moron. Or did you forget what 2021 looked like? Face it, Pederson has gotten all he can out of Baalke's trash rosters. Denver? That's your measuring stick? Really?? Gee-zus.

Why are you calling me names?

Everyone knows that it was Doug that gets the flowers for 2022.  But likewise, Doug gets the criticism for the regression since then.  

I've been saying it since last year.  The team Doug formed in 2022 was so good.  I loved that team.  But as soon as we got to October of 2023, I kept pointing out how things didn't seem the same.  That was even when we were winning.  We were winning in spite of what the offense was doing.  And now, in 2024, Doug has completely lost the players.

It's obvious that this team has no identity.  This team has no passion.  This team has no heart.  This team has regressed from what Doug created in 2022.  I don't know how else to put it.  But anyone that has been following this team for any amount of time can see this is not a lack of talent or because of the O-Line.  This is a coaching issue.  

Yeah, I will agree that we should fire Baalke too.  But Baalke isn't losing this locker room.  These are the players Doug has.  And he and the coaches he has hired or backed up for the last 3 seasons are not getting the job done.
