In the end, Dino's going to be accountable for all of it.  He needs the cliche to change to biggest improvement being between week 2 and week 4.

As far as depth, maybe it's all bad depth or bad players, not sure.  But we have 5 scholarship QBs.  I can't recall how often that has happened.  It's usually a walk-on in there somewhere, often the backup.

We have 4 scholarship RBs who have all done good to very good things in games at some point in their careers.

WR still seems concerning.  Taj is our best, but he doesn't stack up with AET, Ishmael, or even Custis.  The younger guys have one thing going for them, other big schools offered them scholarships.  Bigger concern here is that maybe Dino is only more likely to play younger guys when left with no choice because there's no one older in front of them.

TE remains an unsolved mystery, and OL is a project unto itself.  Seems like both tackles are playing well.  Is Tisdale the only weak link?  I mentioned Vet in a couple plays (Taj TD, Shrader sack).  Maybe those stunts weren't his assignment, but he was the guy standing there and reacting late.

Another concern, what if our issue isn't the talent itself, but our staff just doesn't have the ability to develop that talent.  Look at a kid like Nassib.  Played in a wing T in HS, but showed some good tools.  He seemed to get better each year under Marrone, culminating with an outstanding senior season.  That doesn't seem to be happening here at QB.
