Having a franchise QB makes FA acquisitions so much easier, these guys want to win. Clearly Ebron wants to move on, and he will get a good payday from someone. New Orleans would be a good destination for him.

These are just the things we are catching. In the meetings they know how the plays are designed, what the progression is. Doyle was wide open on a play and JB decided to run on a bad knee. That tells me he can’t diagnose, or he is seeing ghosts, or he is scared to pull the trigger. The second is fixable, the other two are big issues. But you can’t have a QB that won’t pull the trigger. It’s anathema in the pros, defenses will feast on us. We may start seeing nine guys in the box. It’s not going to get fixed this year unless he just says ‘fuck it’ and starts slinging it. I think his career as a starter is on the line. Ballard is out scouting QBs, I think the writing is on the wall. Not to over use idioms, but ball is in his court, up to JB to improve. There are worse things than being a career backup in the league. Your health might be even better than the starters after retirement.

Agree- last 5 games, there better be 30+ throws a game and they better be risk takers too- gotta prove he can do it in the face of a rapidly declining playoff chance but defenses that are going to be set up to give up yards if he's willing to chuck it. Throw the fucking ball JB!
