To many young players, to much change over of the roster, to many injuries. This would have been the year to judge his first draft, but most aren't on the roster anymore. Next year and the year after that's when you can judge the last 2 drafts("his drafts"). FA's, freeman/dannyt/mcphee/prince A/sitton/wheaton all hurt, so limited help, even if they are good when they are on the field.
This was never a 3 year change over, especially when you had bad qb play w/no future in place. He's got the qb future, but the rest of the team is literally spending to much time on IR. I have no idea how you build a team that is never healthy, how do you develop guys, how do you create continuity so many of your starters rarely can start.
We are all experts at making excuses for our players and coaches - and for losing - with this franchise. I do it every year too. I guess it is how we survive. But tonight I keep thinking that 3 drafts plus 3 free agencies and we have 9 wins. 9.
I am done blaming past GMs for our present player woes. We should be better at this point, IMHO.
Ever notice the massive lack of accountability associated with this team? Fox did not hold Glennon accountable at all in preseason nor force him to truly "win the job" in a real competition. He still doesn't and is still even today making excuses for him.
Pace didnt hold Fox accountable after a 3-13 season last year either.
Who holds Pace accountable for a roster full of invalids who can't sneeze without getting hurt and $18m wasted on a QB who can't outplay Brian Hoyer?
