Depends on your expectations to me.
Rebounding from poor play?
Not sure that is possible. The injuries have decimated us.
Even if we get everybody back..we are reduced to being spoilers at best.
Rebound from the poor player evaluations?
Signing McCoy and Haha Clinton Dix was complete failure. Poe is also a wash. These were supposed to be our big players to lead the defense.
Aldon Smith has proven worthwhile but he will be leaving for more money after 2020. So that talent is strictly rental and not a part of the long term answers.
Gregory is very questionable as he has a horrible track record and he has lost 3 years of his best play waiting for suspensions to end.
Lee is done after this year. Tank is close to a release if he does not get some QB pressure the rest of the year.
Our CBs contracts are up after 2020 and our safeties are X Woods and who?
Wolf Hunter cannot be relied on to play regularly. He has done nothing but ride a bike now for two seasons.
Zeke has been the most shocking of all. I realize the OL is radically changed. But his fumbles have lead directly to at least 2 loses out of the first 5 games.
His rookie year he started out fumbling and had to carry around a football everywhere he went until it stopped. Time to issue some 'Dukes to #21' and stop the bleeding.
Recover? First the coaches must regain the teams attention from its issues. Then both sides of the ball need to establish identities that are on a par with the upper half of the league.
Right now..we are cellar lurkers with diddly for anything but massive problems once on the field.
I have no clue about where we are going or who is going to lead us.
Do you?
