That said, while the overall success of the team is okay (I thought 9-3, I will take 8-4) there are alarm bells from Spaz even in some of the wins, and there is a lot about Shitskie that makes me long for the next QB. Can each get better? Absolutely. But there is a ton of work to be done.
Knee jerk? Haden played in 18 games for us and was marginal at best and now some think he will be Percy Harvin at Florida. Rettig-the jury is out. The more I watch football, the more I am convinced that talent assessment is a crap shoot. Just too many instances of 4/5 stars and first round draft picks being duds and 2/3 stars and 6th round plus draft picks being superstars. I think Johnny U. was like a 12th round pick. Boy, did he suck. Brady, 6th round-another loser. Jemarcus Russell, first round-dud and my all-time favorite Ryan Leach, first round--dud and disaster on and off the field. Crap shoot.
