Originally posted by LifelongNiner:It is about the bottom line, but for some people they can't see what leads to the bottom line. That kind of thinking would get Chuck Noll, Tom Landry, Bill Walsh, and Jimmy Johnson fired after year 1. To lack playmakers at the most important positions, this team looks pretty good. I am expecting a huge leap next year if we can have repair the interior O-line as you said (hopefully some free agent additions +Joshua Garnett should do the trick), a pass rusher to play the Elephant position, another starting caliber receiver, and a QB. Not necessarily a playoff team, but definitely a team that can be anywhere from 6-10 to 9-7, that may blow a team out of two.
No one said fire Shanahan, I just don't see what difference his offense has made to this point. We're still winless and we're still a bottom ranked offense. Results matter, don't they? I'll continue to be patient and the offense may improve, but I'm not going to praise him as an offensive genius until it does.
