Feels like a circle we are going to keep repeating. Let's clear the air, NO ONE is denying Gene Smith failed in every way possible now.

 

He Failed to build the roster that could win,

 

He Failed to draft the right QB and put him in a situation that he could succeed

 

He Failed in selecting a Coach to turn his roster around

 

That said, it doesn't mean everything Gene Smith did or everyone he brought in was a failure, when the NEW Regime took over it was THEIR responsibility to assess this roster, decide who to keep, who to let walk, and who to replace them with.

 

When they let player walk that started for us last year, the line was "We we're 2-14 they can't be that good anyways". So be it new regime their roster to build, at that point David Caldwell is taking possession and responsibility for this roster. Over the ENTIRE off-season show me a position we upgraded, how are we not WORSE now then before?

 

Is it our philosophy to get worse before getting better?

 

This roster, is on Dave, it's his roster, it's ok for him to have a bad year in year one. But don't make excuses when we look worse then before. Dave will be given a few years to turn it around, but I'm not encouraged by what I've seen so far, I don't know how anyone could be.
