Where would this team be now if Mikey had done the right thing and canned Marvin after 2015 ? Should have been done before that but anyways, what was it all for ? We totally wasted 3 seasons of the then still decent core and barely tried to improve over what hadn't worked 5 years straight. 

So here we are still in hell

Exactly right. I'm skeptical of ZT and company, to say the least, but this team isn't built to play anything other than Marv-ball. Now, either the FO or the staff should've known this....but in fairness to the staff, they got a late start because of the stupid NFL rule on hiring coaches.

Marv-ball and what this staff wants to do are not very close together. That's the only reason I'm willing to give them another shot.  There is some signs of life starting to creep into the picture. I'd like to see some aggressive moves this off-season, some staff....a lot of roster. Then let's see if they can get the roster closer to what they want and see if there's more improvement. If that happens, then you settle in for the rebuild. If it's still a shit show, let's do a firing mid season and start interviewing candidates then. 

I've seen worse football, to be honest, survived the 90s, hell, I can wait another year. Shit, it isn't like Marvin was plowing through the NFL since 2015.
