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.
