It's obvious the issue with the team right now is coaching, and it goes beyond the playcalling by Wiz and Gus, which also leaves MUCH to be desired but that's been talked about enough. Why are we continuing to start has-beens and scrubs who were never good to begin with and have them play a meaningful amount of snaps when 1) they're clearly not getting it done, and 2) there is a group of guys we've put together in recent years that is ready to play NOW. And even if they're not there quite yet, is it honestly going to be much worse than playing guys who have no future with this team while we're losing precious games? Guys like Nwosu, J. Jones, Lamp, Tranquill, Kyzir, Adderley (though he's hurt right now), and even the young receivers can help us and have so much more upside than what we're doing now, whether this season or for future development. They should be getting the majority of snaps on an injury-riddled, underperforming team that desperately needs a shot of energy, but inexplicably are not.
The Lynn old school mentality of having guys "earn" their snaps through training camp or whatever else outdated notion is in his head is costing us big time. It's just a knuckledheaded stubbornness that makes no sense whatsoever. I'm calling it now, we're going to stay on our current path, not make any meaningful changes to the roster and be a couple games under .500 by December. Then he'll finally start the youth movement when it's too late, they'll ball out as expected, we'll win a few games we're not expected to in December and it'll amount to an 8-8 wasted season with no playoffs or high draft pick. Rinse and repeat. All because he wants to do right by his veterans. Yuck.
