Imagine being a fan of any NFL team other than the Patriots over the past 25 years and approaching the season as win it all or your team sucks.

That would tend to make someone pretty miserable, eh?

I'm certainly not miserable and know that my team doesn't suck. Just getting a little impatient and feel the current GM gets a pass at  times that isn't always warranted in my opinion.

Youngest team in the league, and they look that way at times.

Why did week #4 of 2024 Look nearly identical to week #4 of 2023?

I think there will be more of this.

It is possible to both praise the good things he's done and criticize the mistakes.  That is what I see on this board collectively.  Your target is odd.

I don't have a target. I think Gutekunst is over rated. I would love for him to prove me wrong, A quick look at the 1st rounders on defense would suggest he has a lot to learn. I don't think he's awful but I don't think he's great either.

Those defensive 1st rounders may just be JAGs.

Yeah.  Both LVN and Gary were drafting potential over production in the early rounds.  I fucking hate that.  

Thought for a min we struck gold with Gary, but now he’s gotten paid and it ain’t looking good.

I liked the Savage pick, but he turned out to suck.  

I felt good about the Wyatt pick. Productive in college,  and I think he'll be in the pros as well. Edge Coop, for example,  jumps off the screen. But projects are another matter.

The last time we got production over potential we drafted AJ Hawk.  AJ had a good career but when you're drafting in the late 1st often GM's tend to want to find guys with upside because they can afford to let them come along.  Problem is they don't always come along.
