He’s gotten worse and worse than that he still has no clue what it is to be a leader out there. All the guidance, counseling and management they receive and he walked into a press conference and said “I was tired”

Every other QB over the last 5 years had a choker chain of a leash, 1 false step and Irsay was done with them. I still say Brissett and Wentz weren’t given a fair shake. Yet this guy has been given pass after pass because he’s young.

I have defended him since the draft and I simply cannot do it anymore, I really wanted him to succeed but he had a redshirt year and has gotten worse in year 2. Not slightly, I’m talking embarrassing laughable clown type backyard football. He’s making a mockery of the position, the team, and the game of football.
I guess then bench him, finish 9-7 with Flacco, take the mid round pick the mediocre record earns, and continue the Ballard carousel next year. I have no idea if AR will pan out. I see plenty of concerns. The one thing I’m pretty confident in is that benching him accomplishes absolutely nothing. I’ve seen the mediocre veteran start on a rebuilding team script. That has been the script for damn near every season under Ballard. I’m fucking tired of it. It leads no where. Let AR bust and take the higher pick. Or let him learn.

If he busts it’s still a QB carousel

With a better pick though right? If AR busts then the record is worse right? So a higher pick. Being mediocre with Flacco is the absolute worst spot the team could be in. Being bad with AR is better because bad equals a better pick. Being mediocre with AR would likely indicate growth.

Ballard kept getting passes on QBs because he kept putting out a mediocre team and he wasn’t in striking position for a QB. Why the fuck would you want to repeat that? If AR busts this is a rebuild.

Not gonna be better than the 4th overall pick, and clearly that’s no guarantee not to bust either

Yeah you are right - earlier picks aren’t statistically better. I must be misremembering all the Ballard defense on not drafting a QB and missing on elite DEs. It’s not a guarantee so it’s worthless. Of course the vet QB route hasn’t worked yet either so I’m curious why they’d even try with Flacco. Maybe they should try a street FA QB? That hasn’t proven to not be guaranteed yet.

He’s a superbowl winner and a veteran

AR can’t even get the ball to the playmakers so they’re being wasted at this point
