So if anyone is to blame for this mess, it’s Shane Steichen, in my opinion.
Yeah I get it and I hear you. I'm probably just blowing vessels in any general direction of the organization at this point out of pure frustration of how fucking damaging this is to the team and now far away from success we really are.

So twisted up on this shit. I guess I am looking at it from the view of if AR is really a bust, which for this to be done so fucking soon and to be so harsh, it is very hard to straw man a scenario where he ISN'T a bust, well in that case, then enough is fucking enough- no more 2nd or 17th chances, Ballard needs to be held accountable for not being able to stabilize the most important position in all of sports.

At this point, I wouldn't have a problem at all with him and Steichen being let go as a package. You picked him, you knew the risks, they blew up in your face. The team has to start over with a new QB search and at this point there is nothing to indicate they are the right people for the selection and development.

Man it absolutely sucks to be back at this point.
