Your point? My point was that Stroud has been the difference in the game and deserving the credit he’s getting not that Minshew should be as good as Stroud.
you said he was making the plays minshew wasn’t. He’s a rookie of the year #2 draft pick versus a 6th round backup qb -

You might not like it but he’s lived up to the billing and the difference in the game right now. He’s made his big plays Minshew hasn’t.
one is rookie of the year and one is a backup qb… -

So far the ‘not good enough/lack of pressure’ Dline has won out over the ‘49 sacks baby!’ Dline.
We need more pressure on Stroud.
they are using a lot of tight end delay routes to stall the d-line. I mean it’s literally 6 on 4 quite often with one of those guys slipping out to be open underneath. All-in-all, if the offense could move the sticks and put points on the board, we would be praising this defense tonight.-

Player’s need to catch the ball.
im the biggest proponent in that. My wife would attest. It drives me crazier than anything that happens on a football field.
but there was what two drops this half? Minshew has missed guys, he didn’t see a wide open Alex Pierce downfield, he overthrows an open alie-cox, he doesn’t recognize pressure when it’s coming, he can’t even see 12 men on the field and take a deep shot… he’s not a starting qb. Teams rally behind qb play. Period.

Our team, once again, didn’t show up. At least so far. I’ll be here cheering as loud as I can but man it’s so repetitive year after year
what is the common denominator?
The answer is qb play…

He also threw a perfect pass to MAC in stride that he dropped.
6/15 and 45 yards isn’t going to get it done with the playoffs on the line… ever-

This isn’t Bradley’s fault. It’s on the offense. The offense can’t stay on the field. No 3rd down conversions. Keep beating your drum but so far the offense is costing us this game.
let’s be honest- this is Gardner Minshew not being a starting qb in this league and shrinking in big moments. He misses guys. He has no awareness of defenses.
oh look he just overthrew a wide open mo alie for an easy touchdown. It’s Carson Wentz 2.0

Correct
No it isn't. They changed the rule for qbs like 5 years ago. QB diving is giving himself up.

He may have been super nervous, but he wasn’t so worried that he felt the need to trade up one spot to insure he got AR. He stayed put and still got the player he wanted.
“who do you think you are going to get at #4?” -reporter“I think we’re going to get the best player in the draft.” Chris Ballard
the guy does not lack confidence, at all.

This wins. Shut the thread down. -
Jim’s the ring leader of the circus. When a distraction is needed, he is the guy. Look at the distractions he created during the JT negotiations this year. He might be crazy, but he’s our crazy and he’s far from stupid. When you have a good thing going, you let it roll.

I don’t want a competitive game. I want a demolition. I hope we blow them out tomorrow.
Why not us? The time to get hot is right now. Get hot now and don't cool off.
Massive game tomorrow. I'm not sure we are even in the right headspace to understand how big this game is for this franchise to finish this year. Dominate the line of scrimmage tomorrow in a big win and this team won't be so overlooked come next weekend. -
I was near the field during a game last year, and sat lower bowl this year. It’s definitely dependent on where you sit, because I can attest that down on the field, it’s louder than any of you are claiming. No opposing team has an advantage on offense in Lucas Oil stadium. Get out of here with that nonsense.

The more I think about it I don’t think Gus has done a terrible job given the young talent he has had to work with in the secondary. The team had unexpected success this year and the defense contributed to that. He lost a playmaker this year in Gilmore and the unexpected performance by Leonard didn’t help. Gus is a proven successful coach. I don’t think his firing is warranted at this time.
I’ve said from day one, I doubt very seriously Ballard and Steichen will want to change there if Gus is happy here. I think he’s a professional with HC experience, and probably very good to work with, especially as a new head coach- Steichen no doubt utilizes him for input on things.
I would be very interested to see what an offseason to build on this defense (top 10 pass rush- franchise setting sack record) and a very young secondary, can do next season under the same leadership. Especially if an AR offense can move the sticks and put points up consistently and put pressure on opposing offenses. Secondary is only going to get better, whether through gaining experience or adding to the roster in FA/draft. They already have imo, even with injuries decimating the locker room.-

Flowers (prior to injury), Brents and Jones have all shown good, bad and indifferent skills - mostly good They have grown their IQ this year so far and have all shown a willingness to tackle.
Moore, if re-signed would give us 4 quality corners to run out there.
As far as scheme and bringing in a new D-coordinator, who knows at this point, but they all have shown the ability to play zone and man so either way I think we are solid in that department moving into next year!
For the OP @twfish who do you suggest they bring in that plays more man, or blitzes more? It has to be a 4-3 defensive scheme as Ballard would never switch to a 3-4 (plus it would take a couple years to revamp the front 7 personnel).
Dave Borgonzi was our linebacker coach 2018-2021. Currently Eberflus' linebacker coach, interview for the Cardinals coordinator position last year. Kris Richard is another name that has been linked to us in past, but has had a rough few years it seems. I haven't looked into current head coaches that may be fired. Those are sometimes the better options. I don't know that I see Steichen wanting to go that route over someone younger that has never been a coordinator, as he may just wish to continue with Gus if that was the case.

Some of that has to be on Minshew. A veteran QB is where the buck stops as it pertains to protections and the LOS reads. There's a lot to it of course, and this is why it is common to have QBs with lesser experience levels relying on the line to make the calls. For example when Richardson was in there they probably told him to not sweat the protections and rely on the pivot
regarding the Ravens game issues that you were responding to in this post, it was 100% on Minshew, and really gave me concerns going forward with him. Kyle Hamilton came off the edge for 3 sacks and hasn’t had a single one otherwise this year. It was like Minshew was totally oblivious to what was happening. I can understand once, but to continue to be unaware of a safety coming down and off the edge was remarkable to me for a veteran qb.
I am happy we have him, and he’s undoubtedly a pro, and has proven to be a winner this season. His attitude is top notch and I think he’s the best leader we’ve had at qb since Rivers. But there are some things that make me scratch my head at from a vet, and reading defenses at the LOS and adjusting protection is one that has been hit and miss for him.

I don't even think there's been one tie this year so the tie talk has got me miffed also... Lol
Set the realistic expectations aside. The whole purpose of saying "win or tie" is to not lose. Period.

because we run a soft zone that any accurate qb with time is going to pick apart.
