Phillip Gaines and Terrance Mitchell were also disasters last year. Do you remember who brought them in?
Mitchell was a good corner for a year. Infact if you bump old threads you will see S Taylor couldnt stop raving about the guy. He found talent in the secondary early on it aged needed to be replaced and the problem is the current GM replaced those aging players with other aging players. [Reply]

So the whole secondary aged and needed replaced in one season and we're upset it wasn't replaced in one offseason?
That's fine, it definitely needed addressed. But so did the whole damn defense.
It needed to be burned down and started over. [Reply]
I also think they viewed this season as a rebuild or reset with a new starting QB etc.
I'm not really a fan of the Watkins signing, but I liked Hitchens. He was good in Dallas, i'm hopeful he's just been hurt or something here and improves back to where he was.
We'll see what they do this offseason. This and next year are the years they really need to push. [Reply]
Criticizing Dorsey, as for drafting, is just silly, silly.
He was outstanding at drafting during his Chiefs tenure and guess what, he has been great with the Browns again this past draft.
He is very much part of the reason why this team is a top 3 In the league and potential great team for years to come.
As usual, some fans have totally unrealistic expectations when it comes to the draft.
I trust Veach to be good too. He just better do well this offseason because I am expecting next year's team to be possibly the best of all the years to come, including this year.
Mahomes in his second year starting. Some star players getting older but still in their prime. Star players on contract years. Yeah, Veach better not miss. [Reply]

I'm not sure it needs to be torn down it can definitely get after the QB. It's missing 1 probably 2 ball hawks in the secondary and a ILB. It worked pretty well when Berry was healthy. [Reply]

I just don't think we'll see that again here, so they're gonna have to go look elsewhere. [Reply]

Dorsey knew this defense needed new players and it didn’t work out. This defense is bad bc Dorsey nuked draft picks.
Kpassagnon and Russell were terrible picks in the top 100. Ask yourself what this defense would look like if those picks were used decent players?
Also ask yourself where this team would be right now if Marcus Peters and Kareem Hunt weren’t wasted picks on lunatics?
Calling Veach a shit GM for having no 1st rd pick to fix a horrible defense in little time doesn’t make sense. It’s even more asinine to absolve the previous general manager of 5 years from blame since he handed this mess over to the current general manager. [Reply]

I think you are right about a reset but he still spent like an idiot and didnt draft well. He HAS to have a good draft this time around or he can leave. [Reply]

He played in a game and a half after having 4 months worth of rest before his body couldn't handle it. If there isn't surgery that can be done to fix the issue he's done. [Reply]
