What needs to happen is better on-field coaching. Not playing scared. Playing to win and not playing not to lose. Holding players accountable. If this happens, we can win a playoff game or two (maybe even a super bowl sometime soon). Even with this pitiful front office.
Doesn't this sort of get the Front Office off the hook (so to speak)
The Front Office hand picks Taylor & Dalton yet the burden to win falls on Taylor & Dalton to do so in spite of the "pitiful" Front Office.
The Front Office gave Marvin enough to "nearly" pull it off so the guy hand picked/retained forever by the Front Office becomes the responsible party for the outcome.
It is almost like the Front Office can always have players/coaches to point a finger at for failure; yet those same players/coaches were hired to be the main implementers of the Front Office PLAN, making the players/coaches KEY pieces of that same PLAN but not the Plan originators.
Who really failed if it does not work out ?
The ultimate creators of the total vision/plan -or- the Chess pieces chosen by that plan creator.
Sort of a which came first, the chicken or the egg type of thing.
