What part of WE DON'T HAVE AN NFL OL do people not understand?
What part of WE DON'T HAVE A DL that can control LOS, stop the run and consistently pressure passer do people not understand?
What part of WE DON'T HAVE NFL talent at TE and many WR positions do people not understand?
What part of WE ARE PLAYING with a poor LB CORPS do people not understand?
When the losses and injuries mounted our depth was shown for what it is: Scrubs.
You can't win with scrubs.
We've had to DRASTICALLY overpay at key positions like LT and #1 WR to even be mediocre at those positions. Why? Cause Philbin doesn't value real talent and couldn't draft it if it smacked him upside the face.
He also can't evaluate talent well. The choice of Gibson and Hartline at WR are 100 percent on him. As well as the choice of Ellerbe and Wheeler at LB -- again, totally on Philbin and totally an unforced error. The choice of Dallas Thomas is totally on Philbin -- as is the decision to play him against all odds, as if he were a real NFL player.
All this is on Philbin. These are HIS CHOICES, coupled with completely stupid and arrogant statements that he doesn't need dominant players at TE, WR and OL.
This lack of depth and terrible talent at key positions is ALL ON PHILBIN.
Hickey can't save all this crap in one year.
