The rest are all meh to below average to injured.
Â
Â
So there you have it. For being a draft guru, you cannot tell me that those 3 drafts are super, awesome, better than average.
Â
They aren't.
Â
So I think we need to put to rest that Ballard can build a super bowl team via mainly the draft. Based on his record so far, he is average to slightly above average drafter ONLY,.
Â
Â
Â
No that isn’t what I am saying. Just saying this year there has been a lot of questionable coaching. It’s just part of the issue this year. Not a huge issue but it’s there.Â
So, are you advocating that we keep JB and fire Frank Reich? You think there is a better coach than him to lead this team? Someone that won’t hold Jacoby back? You see, I think FR has been helping JB a lot. He helped Nick Foles and he helped Andrew Luck and he is currently helping Jacoby. Jacoby needs more help than the other 2 QBs. I think you are blaming FR for all of our close losses when Jacoby is the one who needs to progress more. Jacoby can’t run a 2 minute drive in the 4th and that isn’t on Frank, that’s a skill set Jacoby needs to learn in order to win an NFL game.Â
Note: I want Jacoby to succeed.Â
