I get it if you judge their entire tenure including results during COVID. Nobody could have done anything with the team affected as they were that year. That's also the year that Hill had a couple of starts behind an oline that started more players than any other team due to illness and injury - and by which he is mostly judged. For me ... the jury is still out. This years woes have been oline (which has improved) and penalties at inopportune times. I like the hustle i've seen from most players. ADEBO has played lights out as has Kamara and Hill and Shaheed and..... Carr has improved ... and the list of positives is too long to list. I think they just needed playing time together. Criticised limited play in preseason. Olave has had something going on until last game produced somewhat. Drew had a slow start to his career in N.O. too. It took the GOAT awhile. I'm good with where Carr is. Again if the TEAM holds it together and stops the penalties - super optimism.
