I still have a lot of confidence in Schoen, but I hope he did learn something from this year. As the point was made above, he and the organization were a bit too seduced over the 2022 season and pushed things a bit too much.
I am not that worried over signings like Waller or Campbell, as they weren't huge money and getting out of those contracts is pretty easy. The Jones signing though looks horrible.
I still am very concerned about our player development though. I am a big Alabama fan.... you can't tell me that Neal should be a bust two years in. Not saying he should be a star, but he has a high floor at worst. Banks had a good year, but was it good enough? Hyatt didn't have a year like his preseason would have suggested. Schmitz wasn't what was expected. I am really starting to wonder if our player development is the bigger problem than the players we are drafting. I just feel like we are not getting the most out of the players drafted.
