So it took Ballard, the dumb fuck that he is, 8 years to figure out that you need to have competition to get on the field. Instead he said fuck it we’ll just roll with the players that haven’t done shit because we like our guys.

But if the idea is to bring in more the mentor type role to help get AR back on track then I say you go w/ Mariota. Or just throwing this out there - bring Minshew back. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Vegas releases him, which would be a ~$6M cap savings, or willing to trade him for a low round draft pick which would be ~$9M savings.
my god do not bring back minshew

I was trying to point out the stat that every team that made the playoffs this year added at least 1 starter via free agency, but that's a good take away as well.

Back to the free agency stat. I wonder how often that's the case.

Not sure why you'd say that. If the goal is to bring in someone to help get AR back on track and improve then Minshew is a good fit. He works well w/ AR, is proficient in Steichen's offense, and has proven that he's good in relief and can win games when the starter's out.

Now if the goal is to bring in someone to compete w/ and potentially replace AR then I agree that's not Minshew. And really only Fields fits that of any QBs who are likely to be available.

Don't be surprised if Ballard's seasonal mismanagement of the roster has the residual effect of free agents not wanting to join this shit show.

No shit, who in the fuck would want to come play for this disgrace of a fucking organization?

I don't think there is any intention for this to work, I think the plan is to just let it all implode next year- the entire fucking thing is washed with bleach including Jim turning it over, and we start from absolute scratch as basically an expansion team.

FUCK YOU CHRIS FUCKING LOSER BALLARD!!!
