I'm not "mad" but this is another missed opportunity to improve this roster.

We lost a center and then our entire team folded like a rental chair because we have NO DEPTH, too many OLD PLAYERS, and not enough assets to turn it around.

I don’t think it’s a depth issue. Everybody around McCoy is trash outside of Fuaga. We entered the season without a quality LG. We had the opportunity to address that. We resigned a mediocre RG named Cesar Ruiz. We could have moved on and addressed that. We knew Ramcyzk was probably done for his career for months. We could have addressed that. We don’t have quality starters for us to start talking about depth. They prioritized DEPTH at cornerback, linebacker, and defensive end instead of finding STARTERS for the offensive line so we can actually see a productive AK.

Woulda coulda shoulda - DIDN’T put a winning team together. A proper offense, built around the tools we have in TAYSOM, AK, and others, built around RATTLER, with protection, would not have trashed our talent with injuries and misuse, and would have blown a lot of our opposition away with something fresh, well beyond the Panthers and the Cowboys. Instead, Dennis Allen’s sorry a$$ is still on the sidelines, and Derek Carr is fixing to limp back into position to underwhelm, if not totally disappoint us. We in a bad way.

He broke it rushing to sign a contract that pays over 150% of market value.

You emphasized my point. The roster is trash. Too many old players and I'll add to that - too many wasted draft picks leaving little to no depth.

I love Kamara. We'll have him for two more seasons. But what kind of team will he be playing for?

It'll be interesting to see how the roster shapes up while we're stuck with Dennis Allen, a treading-water HC who has an enabler for GM...

I love Kamara as well, but let's be honest he needs to be placed in the "too many old players " category.

He's still playing at a high level despite the rest of the offense being subpar.

That would be an ankle injury instead of wrist!
