It's remarkable that two straight years, our quarterback situation has put us in a spot where this is a reasonable conclusion. There is nothing that John Beck can do in the next eight games that makes him a viable option going forward. I'm sure he will improve, but at the end of the year it still has to be someone else.

I'm one of the biggest proponents of the idea that taking the focus off the quarterback position is one of the easiest way to rebuild a team in the QB-crazy modern NFL. But any personnel guy who failed this hard two consecutive years at rebuilding the offense would get fired. Even Vinny Cerrato. I'm at the point where if Bruce Allen isn't going to be the guy calling the shots on personnel, then Bruce Allen needs to hire a guy who will. You, me, anyone but the status quo.

We don't even need to tear down the structure of the front office. We just need to fix the problem.
