An improved defense does us no good when Alex has a disgustingly bad track record at third downs and 4th quarter play. A new ol does nothing if he doesn't read the Blitz and immediately looks for a check down. New receivers mean nothing I'd you take away any route more than 15 yards. And while Alex seems like a genuinely great guy, he doesn't show any emotion out there. He's too polite to take charge

I don't think Alex is the worst QB in the world. But he is a big piece to holding us back.

Alex could do what Peyton's doing this year with Denver and they'd be just a good.

Belichick could be coaching this team with Alex on it, and they'd be in SB contention.

Alex isn't be the best or worst QB, but he's far from the organization's biggest problem.
