**** no.

There is talent across the board on this team.

This team needs a coach who doesn't want to reinvent the wheel and a QB.

With a competent GM, I don't think it would take 2 years, but I absolutely agree with the bolded comment. Well, maybe two years to become a legitimate SB contender.

Guys like Jackson, Dorsey, Belcher, Lewis, all of our NT's, Arenas, McCluster, Baldwin, our interior linemen and our TE's are nothing but role players on teams like the Pats, Packers, Ravens, etc.

They've tried to use him as a pass rusher in the past. He was in the sub rush package on third downs in 2009.

He sucks at it.

He sucked at it in the 4-3 as a rookie, too.

A lot of those guys are phoning it in. The Offense seems to have the same problem early on in games. I think if we draft a truly franchise worthy QB, the want to problem will disappear. I think this entire team has been demoralized by the Cassel experience and the FO's inability to recognize what a failure it has been.

So no, we dont need a rebuild for player personnel, we need a change of outlook that can only be brought on by a new GM, head coach, a full staff of coordinators, position coaches, and assistants. Once we have all of that, then we can go out and draft the God blessed quarterback we need. If we make the right choice, the players we retain will kick it into high gear because they will want to.

Tamba has one sack in 3 games. Settle the **** down. Even good pass rushers have dry spells when they NEVER PLAY WITH A LEAD.

No, I think we can expect the following:
1. 1st round QB
2. New Defensive Coordinator
3. Pioli and Crennel retain their positions

Not what should happen, but it is the most likely, IMO.

Yep. The Rams are a perfect example. They are 3-2 with the only real difference being a quality head coach. We have more taken than that team so with a coach and QB we are right where we want to be.

In college, he got away with bull rushing. But his strength was really that his first step was uncanny, kind of like Hali's, and that he had unbelievable quickness.

Gun was stupid because he lined him up at the Nose. Romeo's scheme under-utilizes him by making him a read and react player instead of being a guy that bursts off the snap.

I think if you got him back into attacking instead of spending the majority of the time reading and reacting, he can learn the instincts to become the player he's supposed to be. I think 1-gap really fits his skill sets nicely. But to do that, you have to let him do that every day and get out of the habits of read and react.

they went out and had like 10 draft picks. they rebuilt their WRs, TEs, and RB depth.

they replaced a ****ing like a 9 overall draft pick RT in the same draft as Tyson Jackson with BARRY RICHARDSON

they dropped 50 million on a CB play maker FA. they added like 2 new LBers, 2 new DTs (1 a FA and 1 a rookie)

there was a massive turnover on that team. The same would happen to us
