We've lost the only good position coaches we had too. Couple that with what PISTONS has said about losing good FAs and not replacing them.....you have a recipe for disaster. Now, is that poor evaluation on Tobin, or just the FO handcuffing the staff by not "valuing" positions and holding too firm on negotiations?
Yeah...that's the simple reason for our decline.
We've lost some quality players in free agency and the draft picks haven't replaced most of them.
Like Marvin Jones. He had speed and could put up 800-1000 yards receiving. Was he a great WR? No.
Lafell seems to replace his numbers...but Lafell isn't a deep threat. Defenses don't have to worry about Lafell getting behind them thus opening up space for Green. And Ross hasn't seen the field much.
It's death by 1000 paper cuts. Losing good coaches is a big thing too.
We would have been better off paying Zeitler than Kirkpatrick.
