16 games actually, Yes. I know I sound retarded. If the team started winning (which I doubt will happen) and we end what? What is the magic number that would keep the team intact next year? 8-8, 9-7, 10-6 or better? I would think that if the team did go on a winning streak then it would have to be better then last yr. Would 9-7 do the job for DS? Then you have to think about who was the master mind behind the winning? Did Zorn actually figure out the problem or was it Lewis? Do we keep one man to simply stand on the sideline and wear a head set to repeat the plays called to the QB with no authority as a HC? or could we just name Lewis the HC if he's the master mind behind all this.
I'll throw one idea at you though. Many experts have said it takes atleast 3 yrs for a team to actually start showing improvement after picking up a new HC and changing it's scheme. I presume part of this issue is the HC getting the players he needs to run his scheme. Do we wait one more year?
I have issues with VC cause he has not built a team with long term goals. It's a win now mentality. We are reaping what we have sewn right now with the old age players getting hurt and no replacements that are qualified. He picked his talent scouts who personally I think are not all that great either that or VC doesn't listen to them and goes out on a limb for whoever he and DS wants.
I had high hopes Zorn would come into this league and light it up with his "high powered offense" but it has been a dud since mid season of last year...16 games. No fixy. To me thats HCing and VC for not fixing the problems. The team has to go outside to locate a consultant to figure out what the problem is and since then the team has progressively gotten better. Somewhat. Maybe it's just the play calling but I could swear I'm seeing plays that Zorn has not run prior to Lewis's arrival, plus a change of personel on the field. Most of the personel issue is due to injuries but it's funny the #2's on this team are getting the job done.
Maybe decisions need to be made by DS, does he have the money to fire all the coaches and the older players with their big contracts and bring in and pay new coach's and younger players or will he have to make a decision about which is more important right now. Fire the coaching staff and bring in a new coaching staff and again slowly purge the older vets off this roster, or keep the coaching staff if they go 9-7 and unload all the big contracts with no CAP?
