Talent wise, I don't think so. Those Gene Smith years were very bad talent wise. Most of the guys he drafted weren't even able to have a cup of coffee in the NFL before they were back to selling used cars. Del Rio did a decent job for what he had to work with talent wise.

Coaching wise, this is absolutely the worst coached team we've fielded in franchise history. It's been an absolute mess from the jump.

I tend to agree, we have talented guys who have produced in this league, they're just not performing up to their capabilities and the scheme/coaching is abhorrible. Josh Allen, Myles Jack, Shaq Griffin, Malcolm Brown are all proven players, and Tyson Campbell has come on recently. On offense all the talent is hurt or banged up; Chark, James Robinson, Brandon Linder, Dan Arnold and then guys like Marvin Jones, and Cam Robinson are solid enough.

We clearly don't have talent across the entirety of both units, and we're playing with a rookie qb. that said I still think we have more total "good" players than some of the Mularkey/Gus Bradley teams did. The difference is those teams had better "role" guys to fill out the roster, which isnt saying much but at least the backups/3rd stringers/special teams players were NFL caliber backups/3rd stringers/special teams players where on our roster I don't think a lot of these guys in the same spot on the depth chart will be in the league long.
