Didn’t stop you from assuming Ballard was doing stuff Reich didn’t like and just running with it.

I think they went about roster decisions together personally. But the depth chart, I think that’s coaching staff territory.

Let’s see:

Here is your reply to that comment:

So are you or are you not suggesting the Ballard’s conservative philosophy is driven by what Reich wanted? Certainly the way I read it.

And you have stated that Reich wanted Rivers (I believe it) but defend Ballard not pushing more on the rest of the roster by saying Ballard wasn’t convinced at QB. So are you suggesting Reich was convinced enough to want Rivers, but he wasn’t convinced he could win with him? That seems a strange argument. Same with Wentz and same with Ryan. Seems strange for a coach to believe in a QB enough to put his reputation on the line to push for him and yet not believe in him enough to try to win with him.
