A year ago we talked about how finally having a QB makes everybody else around him look better on the roster. The QB position makes all the difference in the world.
Now that said QB is struggling mightily himself, you hear chatter about he's got no protection, etc.
Fact is, while we could spin the story whichever way we want to satisfy our argument or personal beliefs, there are question marks everywhere on this roster whether we want to admit it or not.
Taking a step back this season is something I personally was prepared to accept as part of the process of becoming a long term contender.
Taking a step back in the standings in the absence of team growth/progress ;however, is the nightmare I was hoping wouldn't happen.
It has - in a big way.
