It is pretty depressing reading the disappointment in the fans as we are only in week 4 of the season! I too walked into this season believing we were going to improve upon the previous years performance. I, like many others, quickly realized our dreams of becoming a playoff team were smashed and we are no closer than we were years ago. Yes, we are negative after decades of poor decisions. It starts from the top. I will first point the finger at the owner who has selected the General Managers and ask, "who is he listening to for advice?" Whoever that is, he/she needs to be muted and replaced by a person of competence. Next, the talent on this team is below par and the person who is responsible is Chris Grier. Chris was promoted to Director of College Scouting for Miami in 2007. In 2016, he was promoted to General Manager. It is fair to evaluate the drafts of Miami since 2007 through 2021. While he has hit on some picks, he has more misses and those players in the top 4 rounds, we do not seem to re-sign them. I believe this year is lost and Ross needs to find a new General Manager quickly. The new GM needs to rip out our scouts now and replace them in order for this team to prepare for the 2022 draft. I am not ready to pull the pin on Flores who will be evaluated by the new General Manager. Yes, like many on these boards, I have the luxury of playing Monday Morning QB. But, past performance is a predictor of future performance. If we expect our GM to suddenly start hitting picks, then we the fans and Ross are insane!
