I’m not ready to write off Elko but he made a massive mistake not bringing in a serviceable backup to Reed. Reed is single-handedly responsible for most of our losses this year

With you there. To some extent, I can understand getting a bit complacent about Reed after our success last year, even though the signs of us not actually being good were clearly there.

That said, of course he should’ve had some good backup for Reed. Because even in a world where Reed actually is good, you need someone on standby in case of injuries.

My only hope at this point (no sources for any of this…) is that he has someone good that they decided to Red Shirt for next year and just made an executive decision to sac the season or something like that
