Worst case scenario

Lynch and shanny are turning this franchise around. A little setback. If we get a top pick and grab a pass rusher we'll be ready next year. Can we please just beat the raiders and Seahawks this season

This next draft Lynch has to focus on pass rushers, an O-line and even the secondary.

Pass rush number one priority. O line needs one guard. A new dc is needed

This sort of breezy optimism always cracks me up. What evidence have we that they're turning the franchise around? One month of good play last season? All the "moral victories" in both seasons?

I am not saying "fire them", mind you. Sure, give them a chance. They have been unlucky too with all the injuries. But as far as results go thus far, there is very little to go by to support the "turning around" narrative. There are some good signs here and there: Breida, that month of good play last year, ummm, what else? Buckner, I guess, though this was a Baalke pick. We also have a pretty awesome spot kicker (by the pathetic modern NFL standards). Umm. OK, so Shanahan didn't drop his pants at halftime, and last time I checked Lynch hasn't gone on a bizarre corporate power trip yet. And neither of them look like a plumber. Anything I missed?

Our play has been poor all season this season (including the one victory) and last season started 0-9 or whatever it was. The drafts are inconclusive so far: not especially terrible by NFL norms (though whiffing badly on the coach's personally picked 4th rounder is not a badge of honour), but not pulse quickening either. This is as far from "turning around" as I can think of.

I actually approve of the slow and steady approach (especially now with no QB), but let's take it easy with the "franchise turning" rhetoric until we actually play some meaningful games in December. Next year at best, because losing your QB to season ending injury is not "a small setback". The history of QBs who never got back to their best afterwards is worryingly long. I'd rather keep my fingers crossed than put them in my ears and go "la-la-la".

Son of a f**kkkkkkkkkk. We better get a pass rusher next year I don't care if we have to trade for it.

No worries.

We will get the edge we need and a real QB.

Imagine no edge and Russell Wilson???
