I agree. If JB wants to make that next step, he needs to work with his WR's in the off season. Peyton always did that.
he probably will , this year he did not know luck would quit

This team has the talent.
Injuries are playing a huge part in not having the best talent on the field at this time.
While I think Frank is a great head coach this last game he called was bad. He was too predictable and went with the run too much. When the Texans were stacking the box he needed to call more passing plays.
Ebron and Doyle needed the ball more being we had no healthy top WRs available.
i see your point

I know what you're saying. And I consider what your saying to be partially hypothetical, in part, because we don't know if JB expects the receiver to be open at the time we see the receiver open. He may not be looking at the reciever at that point in time because the pattern array says that particular WR is designed to be open a split second after the preceeding read, and he was open the split second before....as an example.
Having a WR open at the wrong time provides no value to a QB who has a progression to follow. I assume this is why Cain was let go?
So when somebody can verify that the UDFAs are running the right routes on the plays, or, that they know where the open space on the field will be given their knowledge of where the other receivers are taking their DBs, then I'm prepared to say that JB is ill prepared to lead an NFL passing attack.
But if all we do is take screen shots or videos of the field and say "look at the open receiver that JB isn't looking at " then that's not a fact-based criticism, IMO, or its at best incomplete.
But yes, I'm sure that JB could use better timing. PM used to work on that with Harrison and his receivers and said such practice with the group was very important.
well put, a lot of keyboard coaches on this forum dont agree but how would they know if a receiver was where he is intended to be by the coaches

jacoby is still a project him self and hes been in the league 4 years.
that is my point trade for a proven talent

frank does great with the talent he has to work with , he is dealing with a lack of elite talent, he has to call plays to the best talent on the team , there are not many he can depend on to make a play. i think he is great at play calling

Threw a short TD pass and had a couple long bombs on the first drive. Guy calling the game said the NFL loves him for his arm strength and his ability to move in the pocket. Came on too late for me to watch ( 10:30 )but did record it. looked a whole lot different than Thursday night for Ballard on the first drive anyway.
i hope ballard does not draft one of these project qbs, it will take several years for them to adjust to the nfl, i dont see any nfl ready qbs in this draft, i hope if ballard changes qbs he works a deal to get a proven talent so we dont have to wait several years to see if a rookie can develop, the luck and mannings are not in this class of rookies

LOL... This isn't the only example. Plenty out there. Pretty clear trend.

Minshew and Mariota both got benched, they're both pretty much in the same area as Brissett across a number of metrics.
that is unproven draft picks trying to play qb in the nfl, it takes a while for project draft picks, few are nfl ready

They won’t do it because they are going to be evaluating JB right to the end. Especially when he gets all the WR healthy. They know that the WR core has been a mess. Guys have been in and out of the lineup and there has been no continuity. You can bet that they want to see what he does when they are all healthy. It will also weigh in on what they decide to do in the draft.
ballard is not going after a qb untill the lower rounds, there are no day one nfl ready qbs in this draft, all seem to projects, i think he will be looking for game changers at the other positions, especially wr

while Texans lineman basically give up and flail their arms away from the guy blocking them and fall to the ground and oh look... a little yellow flag
you don't get 16 legit and fair NFL games a season... especially if you are a small market team
Watson, Hopkins... those are some nice names to have in the playoffs. Also nice for those of us who can now bet our money against them in the playoffs and watch some team run them over and make some easy extra cash. Can't wait.
they call that flopping in basketball

I never bought the Cain hype, but I will say this, if Cain produces with the Steelers, you have to look at Brissett.another project lower round draft pick with a lot of dropped passes, was in the low rounds for a reason, fast but couldnt catch the ball

this team lacks elite proven talent in many areas, we have too many project draft picks and cheap dropsy wide receiver free agents

Hooker was invisible last night. The deep ball is his forte but he was nowhere to be found. He let Hopkins run right past him on his open on the end zone td.
hooker is not living up to the hype

I like Reich but I can't believe as well as we can run it we don't try throwing the ball down the field at least 4 or 5 times for 40+ yards. Makes no sense to me. As bad as JB played tonight, we still could've won this game had we took more shots down the field. I thought Chuck was on the sideline again watching that bologna
my thoughts too

Everything about Brissett is too damned slow. Combine that with no WR threats and we'll be soon be saying; wait till next year.
and if we draft more project receivers several more years, we need proven talent not rookies

I have to say it gets very odd at times to see a guy attempt any number of play action passes the whole season and he can never find anybody open. Luck used to kill people coming off the play action. I don't get why he can just never find any receivers open.
because that is why most of our current receivers were undrafted, they cant get open, get us some young proven receivers ballard spend the cap

Texans receivers outplayed our corners and made plays while our receivers didn’t. That was the difference tonight.

You guys realize he put the football right in Hilton's hands twice and he dropped both balls right? Ebron had a bad drop as well.
I agree that Brissett needs to improve but this loss isn't all on him. Reich didn't call the best game. Hilton/Ebron didn't make catch all their targets or fight for yardage. The defense left Hopkins wide open and got burned on single coverage matchups.
It was a bad game.
agree and where was hilton with hopkins wide open

In the hunt for a WC sure. But assuming IND beats TEN and HOU loses to NE...both teams are 7-5. IF they both run the table...they are 11-5...tied in the h2h, tied in divisional record and tied in common games. At that point, it would come down to AFC games...and the Colts can't catch HOU there...because they lost to LAC and OAK...whom HOU beat. HOU would be 4-2 in AFC games (outside the division) and IND would be 2-4.
we cant beat the saints with our dropsy receivers

Reich was bad. The 4th and 7 decision was brutal, and he was way too insistent on running the ball. At one point, I think we had an 11 play drive that included 10 runs.
and he would give a clue it by putting doyle in motion and setting up behind left guard
