It is when you could have gone 12-4 by beating the Titans, Raiders and Stanton-led Cardinals.

Alex is what he is.

There's no "fixing" anything.

You either build around him (huge YAC guys) or move on...

Well, we can all agree on this - 2015 is the third year for Alex in this system. If he doesn't show marked improvement this coming season along with winning in the playoffs, it cannot be argued that this trade was a waste of resources and time and we are worse off for making the trade in the first place.

We have, now documented, the worst WR's in the history of the league in YAC.

The worst, hands down.

KC's line is dog$3it. I thought it would be bottom 5 but Alex scrambled his ass off and we managed to only be the 7th most sacked team in the NFL.

Pay for a vet HOG or two and roll the dice in the draft (3rd round sounds about right) on a WR...

Bowser 01-17-2015 12:24 PM

That's fair.

If we don't move forward offensively next year, someone needs to eat the shit for it. If not Alex, then who? Dorsey and or Reid for not getting the proper pieces around their seemingly limited QB?

I wish I knew how to move a video from my genie to the computer so I could play the video from after the hey last year with Andy talking about Alex and throwing deep and how important it is to his ability to keep his job as a starting NFL quarterback.

Iirc it's either the pregame or during halftime.

I'm not really very interested in what Andy Reid says. I'm far more interested in what he does.

I seem to remember a murderer being part of the "Right 53." Talk is ****ing cheap.

Mr. Laz 01-17-2015 12:41 PM

I'm still not sure that part of this uber-conservative style is by design through Reid.


The accuracy on deeper passes can get a little better through practice but it's not going to ever be great.

Clutch Gene DON'T PLAY NO SHIT!

Get enough talent on the team and he will look much better (see Patriots MNF game for proof).

Russell Wilson is good, but he doesn't even put up great numbers. His supporting cast helps him out.

This team will win 10 games and be back in the playoffs next year and we'll win our first playoff game sooner rather than later. Dorsey is going to bring some massive changes to this offense.

Get the OL fixed and add some more speed on the outside and we're in business.

Does anyone here really expect marked improvement?

In his tenth NFL season, is there any brave soul that wants to step forward and proclaim that this will be the year Alex takes that next step?

That snuck past me. Was that the year USC had to relinquish the title?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_Fiesta_Bowl

NO MENTION OF NATIONAL CHAMPS

Bowser 01-17-2015 02:25 PM

Also today I learned - Urban Meyer QBs in the NFL are ass.

Simply Red 01-17-2015 02:32 PM

Alex is better than Peyton Manning now - not sure what you all want here?!?!?!

I wonder if there is more than one person in Utah that claims that title.
