No way did the Texans GM say anything like that about Stroud. Exact opposite. They said they had confidence in him since they picked him from day one. Other people may have questioned Stroud but nobody in their building...Just a little surprised Ballard said that because it didn't need to be said. How about we believed in AR and watching him play, he is exactly what he expected ?
Well considering this conversation seems to have three people right now and you are the only one that feels that way about his comments, I'd disagree with you.
He didn't have to say it, you are correct. But he said it to emphasize the point, which you are ignoring for what he said his concerns were. The point was that he is farther along than they thought he was as a passer, which was their only concern. Everything else are strengths that had no concern. His intellect, his drive, his leadership, humbleness, his arm strength, his clear alien athleticism. All strengths. He had one concern by all accounts, his accuracy and his raw passing ability. It's been addressed, as far as Ballard's concerned.Also, Stroud wasn't available to us. Could we have traded for the first pick? Possibly. But he wasn't available where we were picking. They clearly didn't value trading up to #1 for him over sitting put and getting Richardson, or they would have undoubtedly done it. Everything regarding that at this point is hindsight bias. And just because they said he was their main pick doesn't mean they didn't have the same ability to trade up a spot to ensure they got him, which they did not. Tells me they felt the same about their options. They might have wanted him, but they were willing to gamble and take whoever was next on the board had the Panthers taken Stroud.

If they don't make it to the superbowl again this year, they'll have major question marks.
I'll give the San Francisco 49ers their credit. They turned it on, had some luck go their way, but ultimately made big plays when they mattered most (those 4th down stops especially). Purdy used his legs extremely well tonight. Look forward to seeing what they do against the Chiefs. Two teams that have recent superbowl history with one another.
And I still stand by my comment... Had they not turned it around tonight, there would undoubtedly have been question marks. But they got it done, so that discussion is over.

“I’m going to tell you one of the things that really surprised me with Anthony because I was concerned about it, but this guy is a passer. We all kind of — because here’s this big talented athlete.
IMO, doesn't need to be said and I also would NOT spend a number 1 pick on a QB if I'm concerned about him being a passer?
Every player had concerns. The concern for stroud was not his passing, it was his ability to grasp bigger concepts at the nfl level, by all accounts. Little man Young's was just that, his size. Richardson's was his accuracy (not his arm) and it was due to being so raw. Of course he was concerned about his passing. That was his only knock. He's admitting he was concerned and thought it would take time to develop, and he doesn't think that anymore.

They have a fighting chance. Slim. But not nonexistent.

How bad can you manage a game? It's so bad...

Purdy made big plays, especially with his feet. So I can't discredit that, but man, it feels like Detroit totally gave their ticket to Vegas away... Gift wrapped

I can't believe what I'm seeing...

Ballard still scares me. I can't believe he admitted he was surprised by AR passing ability. This was the guy Ballard would have taken with the number 1 pick and he was surprised by how good of a passer AR was? That could imply Steichen had more to do with who we picked than Ballard.
He said he was concerned about his passing, which he didn't have much film to base it off of. Why is that shocking? They drafted him on his potential and his athleticism. He had as strong of an arm coming out of college as has been for some time. He Stroud and Levis all did. They had one season essentially to base it off and there were known concerns with his accuracy, by every source you can find.
I think Ballard's comments regarding AR's throwing is good to hear. They are pleased with where he is, and they believe Steichen will continue to coach and groom him into a legitimate dual-threat weapon.

Wow that should of been intercepted.
I liked how he flexed on the guy.
Yes, you took it back from him. But you dropped it to begin with...
And then you just dropped another.-

All self inflicted.
Yep.

This is unbelievable.
Failed fourth down. Interception bounces off facemask and into 49ers hands. Fumble. Dropped wide open 3rd down pass. Now a touchback instead of downed at the 1 off a booming punt.

Tied ball game.
what score wins this game? 34?

Agreed. Week 6 I get it... This the championship game. Extend that lead.
they gave the momentum back. They literally gift wrapped it. You have to extend that lead. It’s a play away from a tied football game with 20 minutes left to play.-

I’m usually the last to complain about aggressiveness, but why would you not stretch this game to three scores?

It’s not even about professionalism. If I’m playing music on shift, I can’t hear and understand the radio. I. Love. Music. But I never play music on shift.
maybe the officers that filed the report didn’t hear the dispatch tell them it wasn’t an overdose… -

In 20 years, I'm not sure anyone will look back on the current AFC and think it was loaded, especially compared to the 2000s or 1970s AFC. 2023 was a pretty lackluster year in the AFC, really.
They will if the chiefs keep winning superbowls. They are grinding out postseason wins like it is easy…it would be easy to look back at the afc and say, man those teams could have been in the superbowl but they had to go through the chiefs

I’d like to see someone besides the Chiefs, but I’d MUCH rather have the Chiefs than the Patriots.
Watching the Patriots suck now makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
give it another decade and I bet you change your tone.

That’s nice and respect your family for their service. It doesn’t change the fact there is no credible source to support the idea these officers didn’t do their job once they arrived.
im not sure anyone has stated they didn’t do their jobs…the department could have released a report that stated while the offers initially suspected overdose, there was no evidence of that being the case.
they did not. And they did not provide enough in the report to alter my opinion that there was evidence of a drug overdose, aside from it being known by the department who the individual was…

My dad was an IPD officer. I have a brother that was an IPD officer. I have several classmates that are officers. Having music playing on your way to a call isn't a thing. If they are communicating with dispatch on the radio, music playing would be an issue. It seems unprofessional at best
it’s very unprofessional. It wasn’t just playing music it was blasting it and the dashboard was all over the internet.
the fact that the other officers weren’t playing anything speaks volumes.

Maybe, just maybe all the facts aren't known. Maybe they did the right thing maybe they didn't. Was blasting a Taylor Swift song the right thing to do on the way to an non responsive person?
before anyone responds to that, it should be known that the other officers that showed up did not have music on at all according to their dash cam.
the whole thing is a clown show in my opinion. Little chance Irsay doesn’t make comments if/when he recovers.

Sure, but the Chiefs rarely make mistakes when they are ahead.
just like that. A bad spot on 3rd. No challenge and stuffed on 4th.
momentum is shifting

Welp. Calling it now - if the Ravens don’t hold the Chief to 3 at most now it’s game.
Yes it’s early, but there’s blood in the water now and the Chiefs are absolute killers in the playoffs.
they are rolling that’s for sure. Momentum is a funny thing though. Can flip on a dime. -
Big 4th down run by Lamar Jackson. Ravens offense ready to get in a groove.
here comes the administrative timeout to slow them down…

you are right. All we have is the police report. And the police report appears to show they didn’t have all the facts either.
