Quote:They do have to eventually prove it on the field, but I think that's going to start becoming evident this year.  This is a young team that gained a ton of good experience over the past couple of seasons.  Now we'll see if the approach this regime took in rebuilding by blowing it up and building extensively through the draft will pay off.  I tend to think it will, especially when you recognize that they can use free agency this year to really augment the roster.  They've done so with the acquisitions so far, and I would expect to see more activity as the off season progresses. 

I agree. And as the OP continues to fail to realize, i agree that this is a must win season in that, we need to significantly be better than in seasons past. But that does not necessarily mean playoffs, but if we can get to 6-10,7-9, or 8-8. I think thats atleast a good and rational approach to the 2015 season without putting too many expectations on it. It's not like we are a playoff caliber team yet, and we have not even had the draft. 

 

3-13 or 4-12 are not going to cut it, especially for Gus Bradley. I think theres even more pressure on the staff this year than say Caldwell, who i think would survive even if it was a disappointing season. With how transparent and genuine this entire regime seems to be, its really hard to not pull for these guys and hope that Dave Caldwell, Gus Bradley and staff really do make an impact on this team and city for years to come.
