For as much as we talk about this awesome 8-player nucleus of Pioli/Kuharich players we built around, so far in games where primarily Dorsey guys have played, we've played incredibly close games against San Diego, Indy (playoffs), and Denver (arguably best team in the AFC). If our draft picks improve this year, we draft smart next year, and we bring in some solid free agents, why couldn't we? I've said before I'm nervous about Dorsey's talent evaluation. But next year sets up nicely to start attacking. |

How does so much talent get stymied so often, no matter the caliber of competition?... Sob Button, thats how... he couldnt find a way for his impact #1 pick to make an impact either. I need blood on the alter, and Bob is IT. |

I think you need to take a good long look at how Denver and Seattle have actually built their teams.
They spend a lot of off seasons doing very little and building through the draft. Why do you think Denver's payroll was so ridiculously low this year before they made their huge free agent haul? |

Now, of course, that's within reason. No punters or kickers or FB's or stupid $3it like that.

Drafting for BOTH need AND value AND not having any huge busts. Notice how winning team also identifies their franchise QB and then DRAFTS TALENT TO SUPPORT FRANCHISE QB. We did the opposite. Other than Fisher what have we done to support our franchise QB? Fisher and a mid-round TE. That's ****ing it...

I hated taking a LT last year. But no doubt you go with Fisher over Joeckl, even if Joeckl is more NFL ready. This is the same shit that would have had us passing on Dontari Poe and Branden Albert. And we bagged on this guys when they first started out first. CP gets pissy that our front office doesn't take chances then when we take chances, we want more NFL ready. It's ****ing stupid. And no, I'm not crazy about the Ford pick. I'm pissy about how many people on here think it's a bad idea to take a 3-4 OLB even if it takes a year for that guy to develop. Assuming he has true first round talent which I'm not convinced Ford does. |

Here's how terri-bad the situation is: our DC deserves to be fired an he's still not as big a failure as the GM or HC/OC...

To be fair to myself, I meant (but did not clarify) holding him accountable for the defensive issues. In particular to the subject at hand of a lack of pressure on the QB.

I'm sorry that the unbelievable exaggerated negativity gets a free pass around here. Today, we saw a team missing 7-8 starters/contributors, 3 pro bowlers, 18 of 21 starters being Dorsey guys come one play away from winning against arguably the best team in the AFC ON THE ROAD. And yet nobody's going to call out the guys who said Eric Fisher would be out of the league. People STILL calling him out even though he played decent today. That we have the worst offensive line in the league. That we're the worst team in the NFL and destined for 2-14. That call Alex Smith one of the worst starting QBs in the league. Yup, that's fair. |

If it's a learning curve, Fisher was on the field last year, Ford you have to look for to even find in a couple of play's. I don't get it, he's a first round pick and should be on the field more than he is. A first round pick should not be a project you bring along.

When two guards fail horribly, YOU give up the sack, the best that can be said is your failure is less than theirs...
