A True Assessment...

But if the players were healthy, with the personnel decisions to get the team at the start of the season, did it appear to be enough?  I don't think so.  I was concerned as many others that the offensive line was porous.  I have been also concerned at the backer position for seemingly years if not freaking decades.  

Potential is only good if it is realized in games.

People can fall in love with a player or mis-evaluate a player and believe he has more potential than he has.

Paul Alexander convinced the team that Ogbuehi and Fisher were the starting OTs for years to come and it took the team 3 years to figure out that it was all BS. The front office believed this over the consistent mounting evidence that Ogbuehi couldn't block and made awful decisions. Meanwhile the offense suffered.
