There is some serious overreacting going on here. Coming from me, that should worry you a lot.
This season is an anomaly. Our expectations and national predictions were clearly not aligned with the amount of lost production from last year. That hurts because we all wanted to see air Canada go out on a high note. Our first new DC in 15 years, our 3rd offensive line coach in as many years, these things took their toll. It's our first non winning season since 2013. This doesn't make a trend. We just had a bad year.
The bigger picture continues to be the lack of development of the younger classes. This is the area that has been totally overlooked, and will turn what several have referred to as an anomaly of a season into a regular and recurring situation.
RF, what you're completely missing is that there has been very little (if any development) for the RS Freshman and Freshman classes (holding strong at 1 Freshman getting one play season to date) not being groomed and/or developed at all with on field action. This is one area Coach committed to doing early in the season - what happened? This includes at the most important position we will have a gap at next year - QB. I think the question with such 'highly touted' classes the last 2 years, why the conscious decision was made to essentially play none of them in game situations. If that is not understood/addressed, the same thing will continue to happen in future years. That is the bigger picture.
Would love to hear your opinion on this topic.
