Our mistake started when you lack competition for positions.
WR, G, T are the best examples this year.
Players are not pushed to what they are capable of doing if they are just given the job without earning it. We did not create or bring in enough talent to compete and bring out the best of these players..
It really is this simple. We could afford to bench a McKenzie for drops the prior year cause we had competition at the position he was in. This year with Davis? Who would replace davis for playing like trash? No one. Thus... it becomes acceptable as time goes on.
