This is not on Ballard .it is more on Frank

[bleed blue4life]

All  gm can do is get guys in here right. I bet Ballard says to Frank I think we need another wideout .Frank being Frank no these guys made elite plays in practice.smg We all kniw Frank at his pressers. Its up to the head coach to get players to play period .not the gm. two years ago everyone was talking about how good our o line was right?bottom line is its your head coach .

disagree. I'm a big Ballard supporter, but I still don't understand why he let 3 functioning OL leave in the off seasson.

Fisher, Chris Reed and Glowinski. People hated Fish, but hell, he was better than what we have.

the season is in shambles primarily because the OL has crumbled.

crumbled.

We r going to find out quickly if it was coaching or the GM. No where to hide now.

People bring up players chemistry. I think it also applies to FO and coaches. And right now there is none.

I agree with you even though many blames him for not getting QB or OT and not going for Josh Allen and went to Q instead. Well we still had Luck why would u go for Josh. 

 

Only year I can think that he should have gone for Luck replacement would be 2019 year but thats when in the preseason Luck retired so does not leave Ballard much option even though if we believe that Luck probably told them I want to quit earlier and they gave him chance to rethink.

2020 He did improve it with Phillip River to get their guy and some says because of FR we selected that guy because of FR connection with PR. Should Ballard have gone for Hibbert probably but again Vet vs Rookie? Not sure if PR told them guys I am only here for 1 year etc? 

 

2021 Carson FR has said many times he stuck his neck out to get CW his guy. 

 

2022 MR Well weak QB draft class and better WR draft class both our necessity we went with WR. 

 

I am not sure what really could Ballard do to fulfill QB position. I hope someone here can correct me with some examples what really could be best alternate scenario. 

 

Thanks
