Yeah, it wasn’t a good interview at all. Judging by what I read he definitely came across as smug or else willfully ignorant of where the critiques of his game are coming from. I’m not advocating for him remaining the starter; I’m just pointing out the reasoning as to why I don’t expect him to be pulled. If it does happen, then things could really get ugly, especially if Flacco comes in and starts winning games.

Agreed. But making mistakes like drafting a quarterback in the top five and then having him fail, putting you right back at square one less than two years later, usually leads to people getting fired. I don’t think Ballard or Steichen are eager to get fired.

Last season’s ending definitely seemed like a fairy tale for sure, with Taylor and her celebrity fans in attendance, and the awful mistakes the 9ers made again… I agree that teams see them as a juggernaut in the playoffs and make mental errors against them, like they did against New England. Lamar, Allen and Joe have had their aspirations dashed so many times in the past, that hopefully they can summon some much needed motivation if and when the time comes…

Won’t happen. Benching him could deliver a huge hit to his confidence and Ballard would basically be admitting either he made a mistake drafting him or that the coaching staff made a mistake by playing him immediately and keeping him in despite his performance.

The Lions are LEGIT. The Packers are playing well too but I think your Vikes will overcome them. Detroit will be your true challenge as far as the division goes.

The great KC Chiefs only won by seven against the dreadful Raiders yesterday. We all know division games are usually tight, especially when teams are missing/losing key players during the game… Patrick also hasn’t been himself so far this season, despite their record. I don’t see them as this unbeatable force.

Ehh, the GB game might not be your best one to point out his greatness. He had three interceptions that game and an abysmal passer rating, no? If I recall correctly the defense played much better in the second half, giving the team a better chance to win, but that wasn’t one of Anthony’s good games.

Or have they won in spite of his erratic play? How much of the losses do you attribute to him and how much do you attribute to Flacco in his lone loss 🤔 Or is it all on the receivers or the defense 🤔 Like others have said, you’re severely downplaying the impact Joe Flacco has had. I think it’s obvious the Colts invested in him not only to tutor Richardson and show him the ropes, but as the insurance he’s turned out to be.

That’s not today’s league. Bryce, Zach Wilson, Justin Fields, hell even Sam Darnold until this season….how many of them got to play 3 seasons before the jury seemed to be out on them? It’s a win now league and a lot of the time fans aren’t the only ones who lack patience.

Not when you have a raw QB you want to test and see if he is worth the investment. I’m not in the front office but as has been argued around here ad nauseam, which QB has been more efficient and given the team the better chance to win? When you answer that honestly and look at who is under center the rest of the season, you’ll have your answer as to how the FO may be looking at the season.

That’s not the sentiment I’ve seen around here. The thinking seems to be sink or swim, they want him in to get the playing time to see what they have. Playoffs would be a bonus, but I don’t think that’s their ultimate goal.

Plenty of analysts weren’t world beaters and some of them didn’t play at all. It still doesn’t make their opinions on another player’s performance irrelevant.

Maybe Meco can poach one of the 49ers offensive coaches or basically anyone else at this point 😂

He didn’t rupture his spleen or any of the other injuries that had piled up over the years while snowboarding, though. One mishap on his own personal time doesn’t excuse the beatings he took and why he finally said enough is enough.

I’m sure Irsay knew a little 25 mill gift to the man that carried his franchise for almost a decade was better than the optics of taking money back as far as future players/free agents go. It wouldn’t have been a good look, that’s for sure.
