I don't even think it's about whether or not a replacement improves the defense at this point.  That would just be added bonus if it were to happen.  

The primary objective should be making a statement.  That statement being, "we will not accept this".  Show that you have standards and that you will hold everyone equally accountable.

Letting guys like this stick around sets a bad example.  This goes for Lou, Carlos, and most likely Zac, if he gets a 3rd year with another horrendous season.  You're letting everyone in that building know that your standards aren't as high as your peers.  That shit permeates throughout the entire building.  You're basically saying "we're less than."

This guy should have been canned today.  Allowing Baker Mayfield to not throw a single incompletion over 3 quarters, and to thow for just shy 300 yards and 5 TD's over that span, WITHOUT OBJ and Austin Hooper should have been grounds for immediate dismissal.  Anywhere else, and this dude is gone by now.

I heard on the radio this morning that Mayfield only went past 1st read on two pass plays.

That is super damning for our lowly D and the knock on Baker that he is only good for 1st read and falls apart easily.

It was a gifted dream scenario for Mr. "dream-maker".

Bravo sweet Lou. Braaaaaaaavo!
