I'm also less than convinced Teddy left the 59ers with such an awful roster, as has been claimed. There were a couple draft picks on there, plus Harper, Treggs, etc. Seems to me the ignominy was one part injury and two parts Yikes bungling. (Buh hire, really?)

Now, some of the damage is reversible -- see Buh being kicked to another job -- but some of it isn't. QBs that play too early on bad teams (e.g. David Carr) sometimes develop bad habits for the rest of their career. That's one risk. The other risk is recruiting: if you use recruiting rankings as a rough guide, the 59ers' has been terrible.

So Yikes might do a perfectly competent job going forward and still get buried under.
