I disagree, I think we have talent on this team but its not being utilized correctly....I like our rookie TE and think with a good off season he can be a starter in this league, the only weak area on the offensive is the OL...if we fix that the O can jell and be formidable in this league, bring some competition in at RB and call it a day, I like our WR as long as they are used correctly with Gibson coming back we will be deep at WR.
D is the problem, we can lose two D linemen and be ok, we are deep there, our problem is at LB unfortunately we are stuck with Wheeler and Elerby hopefully they will get better with a new system, I believe both came from a 3-4 D and we have no depth at the position...bring in guys to compete and I think Jordan would be better in the 3-4....so I would resign Soliai and let Starks walk and bring in a 3-4 D coordinator keep our secondary together and hopefully the rooks can compete next yr.
I would fire Ireland and Philbin, bring in Pioli as GM and Whisenhunt as coach, have a good draft to help our lack of depth problem and we will be fine, I dont think we are as bad off as some of you think, good coaching, leadership and player development is what we lack....
