Be careful what you wish for. Dave is having a down season but this is also the first where he's wearing the GM hat. It's getting clear it's probably too much for him but that can be rectified in the offseason. If he wants to continue as head coach he's going to have to let go of the offense. He can't wear all these hats and do those jobs well and it shows in the amount of mistakes this team makes. It's no different than what's going on in Edmonton. Chris Jones as DC was pretty good when it's all he did. Chris Jones as HC and DC were good enough to win a Grey Cup. Chris Jones as GM, HC, DC, is horrible.
Dave the head coach has no choice but to continue trotting out Maier because Dave the GM didn't provide the head coach a viable backup QB. Dane Evans was available for a 4th round pick and a team friendly $94k restructure and he's come in handy for the Lions. That's going to haunt the Stamps as they could not only use him, them getting him would have hurt the Lions. This is going to be a learning season for Dickenson and as fans we will have to take our lumps because it's just not a good team. He and Huff have provided fans too many good teams over the last two decades to just throw in the towel after a bad season. I am hoping Dave is coming to the realization that he has to start keeping his good players and maybe even sign some free agent because turning over the roster every season just isn't working any more as the team just isn't as talented as other rosters in this league and they don't have a quality QB to overcome the shortcomings.
