Reader- Hurt- was somewhat effective but wasn't a star when he played
Waynes- Hurt
Green- Disappointing especially for 18 million
Bell- So so
Bynes- So so
Xsf- Hurt
Mixon- doesn't look like he was worth the money + Hurt
The off-season additions haven't been good so far some of that is bad luck but some of it is poor scouting as well.
Reader was doing what he got paid to do pretty well before the injury.
Waynes, who knows?
Green was a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. If we let him go and he tore it up elsewhere, we'd be crapping on them, and by we I mean me, too. You had to see what he had left, and they did so without a long term commitment. Wash.
Bell is bad in coverage but good vs the run. We knew that going in. He's around the ball a lot. His last few games have been better.
Bynes, meh.
XSF is a pedestrian signing, but I wish he was out there.
Mixon's situation is unfortunate.
Not mentioned: Alexander has looked good to me. I'd like to see him re-signed in the offseason.
The family did a half-measure version of what many have always wanted. They trusted a coach and gave him power and resources to do what he thought needed to be done. They just gave the keys to the wrong guy.
I half wonder of they did this knowing it would fail epically and justify their traditional way of doing things. I doubt that is the case, though. I think things have been shitty for this team long enough that they want to turn it around. They just aren't very good at it.
