Quote:I didn't ignore anything on purpose for what it's worth.  I understand the Bradley and Caldwell were hired by Khan with him knowing the franchise was a mess and it would take an overhaul to turn around.

 

However, facts are still facts and I'm asking a simple question here.

 

And facts are the team decided to build slow. Caldwell has said that much. How can you ignore that fact?

 

If a homeowner tells you "you have one year to build this house. I understand if it starts slow because we have to import some parts from overseas", would you rate the builder the same way from another who got a mandate of "get this done in 2 months. I don't care if you get cheap materials or hire illegal help. Just get it done now"?

 

The answer of course is no, because both were given different mandates and were hired with different expectations.

 

I still believe that both Gus and Dave have this season. If this season turns out to be the same as the past two, both of them, if I was Khan...are gone. You can comment about Gus all you like, but Dave has done him no favors. Year in and year out, we are usually the least talented team on the field.

 

Dave decided to gut this roster. Some players he let go, he was right in doing so. Some players, he was wrong.

 

His top picks have been Luke (joke and always hurt), Cyp (underachieving), Blake (preseason star so far), Lee and Arob (always hurt, drops), and Fowler (already hurt).

 

His FA signings? Marks was a success as a prove it guy. What other impact FA did Dave bring here? This year was supposed to be his "Big" spending year. House? Skuta? Where's Odrick? Julius hurt already and hasn't played a down of real football. Pernell's been good.

 

Aside from maaaaybe Marks, who did Dave bring in to this team whether draft or FA, that opposing teams need to gameplan for?

 

No one.

 

The only exception maaaaybe being Julius, who got hurt 1 play into the preseason.
