Time to make drastic changes or stay the course?

#1

The first thing I expect for someone to say is its too early to tell, or the owner wont fire Dave Caldwell for a few years even with these kinds of performances and both are correct.  I simply raise the question should the fans demand that the GM be fired after watching this product this season?   The team is winless and blownout with almost no chance of winning most games before the end of the half.  The team is ridiculed in the media as being the worst team in the NFL (or even a laughing stock).  The team is dead last in offense yet again, and the HC has kept Blaine Gabbert & Chad Henne on the field which was the same mistake Mularkey had made last year.  The GM traded away the LT Euguene Monroe for a 5th or later round pick in lieu of a LT rookie that was having severe problems at the right side and was playing injured (to which he went out the first time at LT with a season ending injury).  He is now trying to trade away the 1st round pick Justin Blackmon for a 3rd or later round pick in the upcoming draft.  That is great if you trust his drafting abilities to which his 2nd overall pick is not currently playing (i know ankle / leg injury cant be the GMs fault... he wasnt looking that good prior to the injury).

This is a serious question if the owner wants the GM to trade away all the good players worthy of value;

Justin Blackmon, Maurice Jones-Drew, Jason Babin and Mercedes Lewis as well as linebacker Paul Posluszny.

Including E. Monroe whom was traded to the Ravens for a 5th or later pick.

The he is basically saying the team is crap and will take years to rebuild.  Arent we as fans tired of the never ending rebuilding stage?  Is it simply an excuse for failure?

I mean the HC Gus Bradley & GM took on a team with a lot of problems (talent being a big one), but how deep is this years draft & how much do we expect the team to improve next year after all these moves?
