The "Fire Zach" stuff is WEIRD

But if the OL wasn’t suspect then I’d agree they should win a few games. A lot obviously depends on how the OL plays the rest of the season. The 49ers that scoring offense is worse than ours in 21-22 in the regular season and post season? Full stop the 49ers have a better roster but yes Joe makes us on their level. So the teams are wired differently. Their OL and DL much better. And KC? Their OL and DL both higher ranked. So teams are all wired differently.

Jake browning was Zac’s pick for a backup qb. It’s on him. He thinks he’s good enough, otherwise he would have brought someone else in over the offseason, in the preseason, or during the season. He publicly said he’s the guy and he believes in him. Elite coaches can make the playoffs with a healthy playoff caliber roster paired with a backup qb.

Maybe it’s not good to design a team in a top heavy way that is easy to knock over? Look at how the patriots, ravens, 9ers, Steelers, etc build teams. They don’t draft a lot of high pick wideouts. They draft defense, oline, qb. Don’t get me wrong it’s exciting to have a lot of skill on offense, but it’s rare that it wins you championships. You need a good run game and defense. Balance is important and this offseason is great opportunity to find it.
