So, at the start of last season, we cut Powell to keep Moorman. Then a month later, we cut Moorman to sign Powell. Then a year later we cut Powell to sign... You guessed it. Brian Moorman.
Meanwhile, we don't put Hopkins on IR, so for 5 weeks we had two roster spots occupied by kickers, even as we had 4 DB's injured. In the Cleveland game, we ran short on DB's, WR's, RB's and QB's. Now, I realize no team can effectively plan for that many injuries, but there is no way to justify being short on 4 positions while carrying an extra kicker.
Then we have the QB cluster****. Cut TJax (after trading a pick for him and never letting him on the field even as Fitz struggled so bad that the team decided to eat a $10 million cap hit rather than keep him), to sign Kolb, only to watch Kolb get injured. And don't tell me they didn't know Kolb would get injured- this board alone is riddled with posts saying Kolb will get injured from months ago. So they go into the season with two rookies at QB... Then they fail to sign Freeman. And I'm no Freeman fan, but he was the least bad option for fixing this mess they created and they couldn't get him.
I know- some of you will say "that was the old regime..." And some of it was. But the QB situation is on the current regime and the way they handled both K and P was eerily reminiscent of the way they were handled last year...
And people wonder why we don't get respect after looking semi-competent for 4 whole games.....
