We've made a lot of bad decisions since C&C left, so let's focus on today.
First, the 'new(Kubiak & Co)' has turned our RB situation into a 'laughingstock.'
Second, under the 'new,' we have a weak secondary-not a lot of personnel changes were made in this area because (like our RB situation) Kubiak said we were fine--same with are LB/DL,etc.
Sure, Kubiak inherited a mess and that is why he got the job, so those are a given. The question is WHAT has Kubiak done to improve the team, to make it better than it was last year or his first day? Are we seeing steady or even any improvement from the teamn on a weekly basis? Is there any part of the team-as a whole-OF or DF or ST that is a major improvement or gives a hint that that area is headed in the right direction?
Are we building a 'foundation' for the future or are we still trying to 'find' ourselves? What things has Kubiak put into 'place' are an indication of 'better things to come?' I'm not expecting ALL of our problems to be fixed/solved over night, but I am questioning whether we've even started...
Effective decision making or lack there of can make or break a mgr in any business, and that includes the NFL. Like any other business, a decision made today can have an 'impact' now or somewhere down the line--short term vs long term. Saying this, has Gary made decisions that are effective, whether in the 'short' or the 'long?'
I'm not saying we should be a winning team this year, but I believe a) we should be competitive and b) we should be showing signs that the decisions we are making 'today' are headed in the right direction. IMO, those 2 things are not happening and--unlike some posters--I don't believe it should take 'years' to see any 'fruit' from Kubiak's decions.
