Not that AR is the sole blame for those, but you can imagine a locker room full of guys seeing what we all see, and saying, "Man, if we were just a liiiiitle better at QB, the season looks way different."

who on this team has a right to be critical? the podcasting lber boys? fucking garbage. what leader on this team can talk shit? not a one

Can you imagine Will Levis throwing to AD Mitchell? That would probably end up in a 7 int game.

Nobody creates more separation than AD, for whatever reason him and AR weren’t on the same page

Flacco will get him the ball

I know he's not a leader, but imo Jaylon Jones has been ballin'! Yeah, I wouldn't mind the podcast boys just going away. I mean, Olubi, Carlise and Stuard haven't exactly been a drop off?

If AR is showing up to meetings late and not putting in the prep effort then that would explain his benching and it also goes along w/ Steichen saying that he needs to grow as a professional.

Although you would think that if AR was showing up late and been slacking then he would have been benched sooner or fined for tardiness. And that there would have been some leaks about this as well. Maybe he's just been putting in the bare minimum?

If so, man that will be so disappointing. He seemed so damn driven and committed to being a leader. If not, well fuck him.

I would still play him, and I would work his ass to absolute death. If he can't get it done, then it would at least set us up for a semi-replacement pick.

Downs, Pittman, and Pierce are the only ones on the entire roster that even come close to having that right.

And I'm not saying that they DO have a right to be critical, just that if anybody did, they would be the ones.

Just Downs of that group, honestly.

If you were a player on this team, would you be good with a decision to play the QB who gives you a lesser chance of winning?
