That’s a little disingenuous though. It leaves out that they also got guys like dj moore and Montez sweat on the cheap and added draft capital like Rome odunze and Caleb Williams (no matter what you may think of him, it was the consensus pick ). And they’ve done a really good job with the draft. This is a really good team minus the coach if they can ever get Caleb Williams to play to his potential.
And it looks more and more like he doesn’t have much pull on the coach. The McCaskeys are good ole boy network guys who trust dinosaur advisors like polian and acorsi more than the GM. In this case it’s trace Armstrong who represents both eberflus and Shane Waldron. And eberflus stayed on because the mccaskeys were too cheap to buy out his contract. It sounded like poles had to scream up and down to get rid of eberflus and Waldron even when the decision was obvious. In this case the majority of the blame has to do with shitty ownership
