Sit his ass on the bench, have the QB coach sit next to him and comment on every play and what went right or what went wrong. If he can learn to keep his head when there is bedlam around him, he just might make a good QB after all. Have him work in practice on all the mechanics, teach him how to read the defense, make him understand that he's supposed to be the leader and the one who inspires the others. In baseball, a young player with enormous potential gets sent down to work out the deficiencies and then brought back up. In the NFL, there is no minor leagues, so the player is either sat down or you let him fail and fail and fail. These failings are very unfair to the rest of the team. I watch every game hoping they win, and right now, the chances of that happening are better with Flacco under center.

Then don’t draft a raw fucking QB and make him your starter from day one.And they certainly haven’t taken this fucking stance on other positions have they? It was ok to throw a bunch of shit youngsters at the secondary. It’s my biggest complaint about Ballard - always relying on youth, never trying to win now.but now all of a sudden is the time to care? Waste 8 games of the season to decide nah let’s care now.The organization from top to bottom has no fucking plan. If they had set AR until he ways ready then there would be no complaint. All I hope is that this means Ballard is done. The team needs real direction and leadership.
