I'm not buying that. This team's problems go way beyond Idzik. Now next year, we can start examining Idzik's job more. But right now, this lies at the feet of Ryan. Undisciplined and sloppy play go right to the HC.
It's like a broken record, but it bears repeating: Milliner's injury was nobody's fault, McDougle's injury was nobody's fault, and Patterson played well before he signed here, and before he went nuts and didn't show up for practice. Bad luck at CB.
+1
Disagree, Patterson was never good. Ever. Milliner didn't prove anything, and neither did McDougle. While I don't think Rex has done well, Idzik should already be on the hot seat. The offense and backfield are atrocious. Both guys get blame. Luckily for Idzik he probably gets one more yr. Patterson was a horrific signing from the start.
IMHO it is unfair to judge any GM in a year and a half and injuries can not be foreseen. I personally think their was enough talent on the field today if well coached could have easily won this game.
Agreed.
EVERY team has holes. It's the nature of the beast in the salary cap age.
Any team that has been at or toward the top of the league at some point during the season in each of the categories of rushing offense, run defense, and sacks should not be 1-7. It's that simple.
Every team has holes, not every team goes into a season with high school walk-ons at DBs.
Put most of the blame on Rex if you want, but if you Bring in Bill Walsh to be your HC, you don't give him Blaine Gabbert at QB and Clyde Gates at WR.
We did the same thing to Rex who bring an aggressive in your face D...and gave him Walls, Allen, and Wilson to play CB.
Don't blame the lack of secondary depth on injuries, remember, everyone has injuries. I'd call what Mike T gave Rex in revis and Cromartie as understanding what Rex brings to a organization. Giving Rex Patteron and a banged up Milliner to go with Wilson, seems to scream I have no idea how to give the cook what he needs to be successful while grocery shopping.
That being said, idzik has redone the offense and needs to find a QB. Now he also needs to address the secondary and OLBs and see where this goes. Idzik gets two more years, while will include a new QB, HC, OC, and DC and gives him 4 off seasons. Hopefully we're not still a 1 win team after 2 more glorious off seasons. I do like our skill positions now.
