Quote:and the regime before that?

 

 

Why do people even bring this up?  I see it in thread after thread.  (references to prior regimes)  They hit the reset button in January 2012.  Nothing before that sets any precedent for where this team is headed and what progress it will make over the course of this season and the upcoming offseason.  I know you may not be trying to imply that specifically, Frailbones, but  many posters  have lately  - and I think it's crazy talk. 

 

If you want to go around thinking 2015 will suck because of something Gene Smith or Shack Harris or Jack Del Rio did -  go right ahead -  but you'd be a moron for doing it.  Nothing before 2012 matters anymore.  The starters left from that period can be counted on one hand. 

 

Caldwell has brought in some quality young talent and most of it is still green. Khan just stated (3 days ago) that the team has the luxury of being more active in FA this year.  There is finally a young QB on the roster that wants to throw downfield -  but he needs some time in the film room and a little more help up front.  Those are the reasons to be hopeful about 2015 being a very different season.
