There came a point with Philbin early in Season 2 where I just knew 100% he didn't have it. I'm not there yet with Gase. You have to give him another year with a real QB. It doesn't look good...no question. In particular, our talent evaluation seems fairly pitiful, which doesn't bode well.
We ran into Ajayi last year purely by accident when Foster got hurt, and now we traded him away for next to nothing. Other than that, what talent have we acquired that we could say wasn't somewhere between middling and terrible. Maybe Kenny Stills? I don't know. The list of bad acquisitions is quite impressive.
So if you can't recognize talent, how well do you really understand football? Gase is far from a genius. And the Ajayi trade suggests he's going to stubbornly stick with all the things he doesn't know rather than adapt. I am not optimistic.
