I haven't been impressed with Gus or Dave yet, either. I know it's only year two, so Super Bowl aspirations are obviously unreasonable. But my word, I think some improvement isn't too much to ask for. I'd KILL for a 6 win season at this point! So the pass rush has taken a couple of steps forward this year, which is nice, but the secondary (returning all starters) has taken several steps back. 

 

You can tell Gus is/was a rookie head coach as he has made some questionable decisions on the field. Not calling a timeout to reset the defense, then he does call a timeout to give the opposing offense a break, and some of the playing time of players has me questioning if he is seeing what everybody else sees. Why isn't Ryan Davis playing? What took so long to pull the plug on Henne? Why wasn't Bowanko starting from the beginning? 

 

I get the whole building through the draft philosophy, but you HAVE to supplement free agents in as well and I think we have dropped the ball there. I know we have been burned by big name FAs several times in the past, but that doesn't mean the only FAs we can sign are undrafted rookies and journeymen who couldn't make most teams.

 

I've believed in them from the start, don't get me wrong. So far, the only thing done to keep me believing is the Bortles pick. Then again, he is the most important player on the team right now.
