He told us that the most important position is the quarterback and that we won’t win games without a good quarterback. So far we’ve lost to Tommy Devito a practice squad player. Geno Smith who is good but not a franchise QB. Tyrod Taylor who is a backup qb. Justin Fields.

Not only that. Sam has been leading the league in passing yards and one of the most TDs for a QB this season. So we clearly have a good QB this year. How did Sam play so well against the Seahawks but we still lost? How about the bears?! Don’t get me started on the giants. I thought you said this was a quarterback driven league?

You are a defensive coach. You have coach JDR…. Did you just forget defense matters? … and that special teams matters? Like there are other parts of a football game…? But you’re gonna still sit on the quarterback side of things?!

    We swung and missed at QB over the years. At least we didnt mortgage our future or capstring ourselves for Jimmy G, Carr, or Wentz, because that’s who we would have ended up with. Howell despite all his issues is a blessing for a 5th round pick. We were also in the hole from Alex Smiths contract and trading for Haskins.

    GM is the weakest part of this org but I give him a pass on the QB woes. There’s no excuses for every other issue (bad drafting/roster construction for the most part, coaching issues) though, and they all need to go.

      It doesn’t even matter if we drafted a stud. Team is no excuse. 5-7 turnovers?! Seriously?! How do the giants do this to us every time! Also don’t forget we made a huge swung and missed for Russel Wilson. That would’ve been a nightmare if Russ didn’t pan out for us

        While you’re probably right, I try to look at why a decision in of itself is bad rather than saying a decision is bad bc we are the ones who made it(but you’re right we would’ve botched a good pick)
