Are we being fair to Kyle Shanahan?

No, you go get players that fit your scheme. Also, what if Montana, Rice, Craig, etc didn't fit the West Coast offense, think he should have changed his scheme? Hell no.

The absolute problem with Kyle S is that he had absolute 0 talent on the offensive side of the ball. Look at the numbers offensively over the past decade and you'll see we've had little talent on this side of the ball. Let the guys get their players in, give them time and see how it works. If after year 4 we aren't contending or making playoff runs continually, then come back and say something. This is the beginning of the 2nd year, and basically a complete roster turnover. We should be grateful and ecstatic he's cleaning house.

blache and g williams and billy b and rex ryan all adapt their scheme to their personnel, and all have good track records year 1.

they used randy moss a lot differently then they used d branch because he's a different player.

insisting on making square pegs go in round holes is a great way to waste time and money. haslett really sucked last year and never made good adjustments, hence the horrible D rankings.
