Give the new regime a chance

It's about having average to above average starters and NOT having bad starters.

We have several high end players. We've also had 5-6 spots on the roster with Bad Starters the past few years. It's hard to overcome that.

You can't start 4 poor offensive lineman and win. I've showed the PFF analysis. Many of the teams ranked in the Top 10 for offensive line made the playoffs. Same with LB.

I agree.  The team was playing winning offensive football before the injuries took their toll.  Glenn played hurt a lot (had to have an epidural just to try to take the field late in the season), Price was hurt and young, Brown played hurt, Uzo, etc.  That said, when I look at it, not having good depth is what REALLY sunk the team.  Goes back to the drafts, like you said.

That said, they didn't utilize Bernard at all.  Seemed confused on how to use Ross, had no contingency plan when the TE injuries piled up, and so forth.  Things like this are where the coaching may make a difference.
