1. We have screwed up the draft and free agent signings from the very beginning, starting w/ Boselli. Don't tell me about the bs deal about getting certain players if we took Boselli. The plan should have been to get players you can grow with. That also meant not choosing a QB with your 1st draft choice. We gave Carr the job. He never earned it. Maybe he would be better now if given time before throwing to wolves. Now damaged beyond repair for the Texans.
2. Don't need to review all the other mistakes. Buchanon, Babin, Hollings, and so many others.
3. In hindsight doomed from the start with upper tier management hires.
4. Let's look at our supposed playmakers.
Carr- is Carr, if he had a chance at all under the harsh circumstances , seems to be done now. QB - average at best but will never lead you deep in playoffs. No IT quality whatsoever.
Andre- not really an elite receiver. Doesn't catch the ball with his hands. Depends too much on cradling the ball. With his great athletic ability just quite have the skills to be called elite, at least not now.
Running backs- we don't have one that is a playmaker. All too slow. Dayne is OK for what he is, but he is not a gamebreaker and should be a situational back at best.
Ryans- maybe the real deal.
Williams- above average, no star
Robinson- above average " "
So there is what we have. What can we really expect. Look objectively and compare our team to other teams. We are about where we should be based on the talent we have.
5. If we can ever get passed the Carr era and move on I think we may have a coach and staff that will make some improvements. Not hard to do based on what we started with, but something. Even though I am very concerned about their first couple of MAJOR decisions, Carr option and SuperMario.
I hoped this would end on a positive note but after writing 5 above I don't know anymore. I'M DONE as Chevy Chase said in Caddyshack.
