I think you are right on this. What sucks is this team was so bad before that we are having to still draft perfect. And the guys need to start year 1 or the fans are screaming.

Stupid fans, every player needs time to adjust, mature and learn. I watched Chris Dishman, a 9th or 10th round pick get beat every game. We screamed at Glanville for his draft bust, but in 2 years that guy was one of the top shutdown corners in the league. He had to take his lumps and he did, and having a coach who believed in him, and allowed him to make those mistakes made him an elite player.

I can tell you the same story about a ton of guys.

Our team has always had to rush the players to the field, and then they have not been given the time by the fans. Time + the correct player means good things.

BTW coaches know the guys that are growing into the job, we don't.
