I dont buy that. These players might not even know who was playing 20 years ago. 23 years ago was the Montana era. They played hard in that era.
We can all see a lack of 100% effort by almost every player on the team. We got eyes, its on tape. Hunt and the coaches can see the tape too. Losing 4-5 with the talent we have playing lesser talent has to kill morale and effort in the locker room.
Players not giving their best effort happens first because of personal reasons. They just are not going to give 100% because of a myriad of reasons.
The major contributor either positive or negative is coaching. Just look at the Rams. Basically the same team. New coach, different effort and results. Its a hard physical game. The players need to buy in to the game plan and who is starting 100% in the NFL.
IMHO, whats going on is that they might like Andy as a coach and or as a person, but..... that a large % of the players dont like the game plan, scheme and/or the personnel starting.
Players told us publicly that they loved Grbac and Cassel. We found out later that was BS. Is this a situation where we have the locker room moving to starting Mahomes?
