Quote:How can you possibly claim that? Until this team starts competing for a playoff berth, or at least winning ONE game, there is zero evidence that this rebuild is any better than Gene Smith's version.


JDR/Tucker won 5 games in 2011 with Blaine F. Gabbert at QB. Blaine Gabbert! Let me repeat that: 5 wins with Blaine Gabbert. Do you really think that the players on that 2011 team were better than the ones this year? Enough better to make up for carrying Blaine Gabbert? If the 2011 players were worse then Bradley is not doing a good job. If the 2011 players were better then Caldwell is not doing a good job (and he chose to dump a lot of those players). The third option is that the players are worse now but will be better. This is possible, but so far they haven't played good enough to win one single game. Sadly, it's just as possible that they will never get good enough to make the team any better than Gene Smith's, and that is a low bar to exceed.


We just don't know yet, but the results so far have been disappointing.
