An article just came out that stated he has been playing all season with a separated shoulder which affected his mechanics.

Meh. I don't by that at all.

His motion was much more compact after Gus was fired and Marrone was installed as the head coach.

While DJ and I agree on a great many things, Gus Bradley isn't one of them.

He's a bad head coach.

That's cool. I never thought he was good though.

He had a stretch a year ago against shitty Defenses and a terrible division where he racked up garbage time stats wherehe was basically heaving passes to his receivers and hoping they came down with the ball. Fortunately for him then, they did.

Nothing in his UCF tape made me think he was the answer. His tape felt like a highlight reel for the receivers that had ridiculous YAC.

14-48 says it all.

Ballard Story. There is a bunch of shit formatting that I didn't want to un**** so you have to click.

Ballard turns them down

Maybe Marrone said hey, you know your shoulders seperated , why don't you throw it like this.

If Ballard sticks around long enough, he'd probably be the top candidate to replace Dorsey when he retires and or gets a "promotion" and hands over the reins to another GM. At this point that's probably a better play than going to somewhere like San Francisco.

I think Dorsey has plenty of years left in him that this wouldn't be the cause to decline the interview. I just think that the situation isn't ideal in San Fran, and Ballard is waiting for the right offer.

Either way, it's pretty cool to see a guy content with where he's at, that he doesn't hop straight for the promotion offer.
