I thought Garrett was "building the team"? No?
Say it ain't so
He's (helped) build a capable team. Remember, I don't consider seasons like 2014 and 2016 to be 'mediocre failures' or whatever the talking point is.
What he hasn't obviously built is a team capable of advancing in the playoffs. And we've squandered chances to do that as an organization by making unnecessarily risky picks of defenders and by spending enormous resources unnecessarily on things like running backs when the defense has needed attention. Some of that is on Jason. Most of it, though, I put on the organization as a whole, or on the Joneses, above him.
Either way, the team we've got right now can win in the NFC if we improve the talent on defense. Adding a defender or two with the draft capital we had at #4 overall might have even gotten us over the hump last year. Or we could have kept Elliott and used the #34 on a defender who would have actually been on the field and maybe that guy makes a play or three v. GB to get us through. I wouldn't have taken much.
Yet you guys keep making excuses for that underperforming unit for some reason. I don't get it.
