Do we really have the players to succeed??

Team is at least 2 years away from being a true competitor provided new coach and new staff are hired and they get scouts and control over draft.

We also need to sign at least one high quality free agent in a position of need during the next two years. How about a high quality center and an above average offensive tackle.

Right now the team is awful. O line is a disaster, WRs not named AJ are below average or worse ( great idea letting Marvin jones walk), linebackers not named Burfict are awful.

Pass rush is OK. Safeties are average or below average.

I think Andy is a great man and person. I am starting to have serious doubts about his ability to lead a competitive team. It is a little unfair because his o line is so bad But I would not rule out drafting a franchise QB that is 6' 5" and mobile.

If major changes are not made, why would any of our high quality players like AJ or Geno want to play for this franchise when their contracts are up.

The team is a wreck and it is going down like a sinking ship if Brown hires Guenther or Simmons and a cheap staff, refuses to add scouts, refuses to build practice facility, etc.

At least, as John Thornton just said, they started providing bottled water for the players during Marvin's tenure. At least there is that.
