  1. Gross. This team is boring to watch.  I was looking forward to a team that would show improvement over the year and miss the playoffs.  There's nothing worth watching now. Secondary is badly flawed. We cant stop the big pass and we can't make them either. The run game isn't reliable enough. We end up getting behind and non stop throws ensure a predictable offense that caves from pressure.

    We will not win another game with him at qb. He cannot throw deep and always screws up in a close game

    I think we might win another but the limitations are obvious.  He holds the ball in weird situations, fumbles like crazy and cannot put it accurately downfield.

    We got to start looking to next year and how we can improve. 

    Im getting pretty sick of talking about next year less than half way through the season.  Ballard went into this season razor thin on cb. This was predictable and preventable.

    Did they have Gene Steratore on the broadcast explaining these calls? Was he for or against them???

    Gene came on and did an odd job of waving it away as contact that changed the route then claimed that it needs to be obviously uncatchable for the second.

    Not only our turnovers but we dropped two of there's.. and then got called on a "flag" for another lol we could've had 3.

     

    But all in all I'm fine. I didn't expect a win. And our season ended in the 2nd quarter against Tennessee IMHO.

     

     

    Yep written off early again. I'd love to watch meaningful football in November, December

    You guys can win with the Shew. Had we had any kind of talent to surround him with, we would have. In fact, I think he gives you your best chace to win this year. AR probably has more upside if he can learn to process as a QB, and keep from getting killed as a runner, but if I were your organization, I'd ride Minshew as long as possible. Yea, he's limited a bit with arm strength, but makes up for that with accuracy and good decision making.  Plenty of time to develop AR without ruining him.

    Haha nice try. No you play Richardson.  He's playing well and will get better. I'm glad they held him out this game.

    I can.  We had Jacksonville in our grasp as well.  This team has a lot of talent and is very capable of winning a lot of games.  This rebuilding talk is nonsense.  We can play with anybody.  Improved coaching is already making a difference.  Our new free agent additions are contributing significantly.  I’m sure the players are focused on winning the division and making the playoffs as we should be.  I don’t view this year as a developmental year.  I think it could easily be a playoff year.

    I just figured there would be more growing pains.  I think having a clutch kicker is huge though.

    100% and he is only turning 21 this month. The kid can't even buy a beer yet. He was raised right. Might be time to go ahead an order my Richardson jersey  

    Yeah dude is quickly becoming jersey material

    I am happy that Ballard has turned the Negative Nancys into Silent Sallys.

     

    It lets the rest of us enjoy the draft coverage that much more...

    I was pretty negative if we stuck with Saturday.  We didn't and I went from negative to neutral.  After the 1st round positive.  Now I'm stoked

    Yeah, everyone would love longevity and some of us even would have been fine with Hendon Hooker if it gave us 10 good years. Same with AR. Cam Newton never got his accuracy in the mid-60s consistently but he made a SB and Luck didn't. Both had their longevity issues. So, if AR turns out like Cam Newton and we get 10 good to great years out of him, that is all you can ask for in this Not For Long league.

    10 high quality years is better than 20 middling years.

    Media has literally crumbled in the more than 40 years since I first got in.    And on every level.   Local and national.   And it’s only getting worse.   How do you restore it?   How do you regain trust?   It takes decades to earn it, but can be lost in the blink of an eye these days.   
     

    And it’s not just sports.   It’s politics, regular news, even entertainment.  
     

    Sorry for getting up on my soap box,  but it’s hard to watch a once respected and badly needed profession steadily evaporate.  
     

    Sigh….      :giveup:

    You're bang on.  It's a profession that's critical and it's failing.

    Given the situation, with us (other teams behind us) having a big need at QB, I probably agree. But in a vacuum, even considering positional value, I think he's a mid-1st round at best. He's really raw and there's not a lot of tape on him. He has potential to be REALLY good, no doubt. Given the Boom/Bust ratios there's a significantly bigger risk of him being a Bust, though.

    Totally agree. I do think the risk is there.  My argument is more about if you think he's the get. Get him and don't mess around
