I don't see how anyone should be optimistic about this team. Today was another exercise of the futility of this FO and this team in general.
QBs. We cut our 2nd Tuel, 3rd Thad, 4th Dixon, and 5th Palmer string options at QB. We pick up a guy that hasn't even been in camp this off-season as far as I can tell. Many pundits believe he will be our #1 before the bye week. What happens Sunday if EJ is goes out with an injury early? He's shown he's as brittle as a tea cup so it's better than a 50/50 possibility. Heck he will probably get banged up in practice. How could the FO not have added a reliable vet in the off-season? That they let FItz, TJax go early was amateurish.
P. Everyone knew Moorman was on his last legs last year. They bring in minimal competition and now we are picking up cast offs to fill this spot the week before the first game. A professional FO would have addressed this in free agency.
K. We fill a spot on the roster with an extra kicker just for kick-offs because the coach has no confidence in our special team coverage unit.
Coaching. Hackett is in so far over his head he has to look up to tie his shoes. The offense is totally unprepared and has been unprepared for over a year. Hackett is joke. You don't have rookies, and EJ still plays like a rookie, running hurry up offenses.
