To be fair to Shanahan, we have to give Shanahan 3 to 4 years to really give him a fair chance to turn us around.
I am not impatient with Shanahan, give him time.
My only disappointment up to know with Shanahan is switching to 3-4 defense which set us even further back and created even more holes to fill on our roster. As if we did not already have a ton of holes to fill.
If you are going to do that, then commit to a total re-build and do not send valuable draft picks for an old veteran QB. Those two decision directly contradict themselves and was really poor planning.

How are we to know we wouldn't have been in the exact same position if they were still using the 4-3?
Couldn't it be that
11 straight years of not picking ANY defensive linemen in the first 4 rounds of the NFL draft finally caught up to us? That years and years of relying on free agent castoffs and late-round longshots up front brought us to where we are right now defensively?
