The turnovers have to stop. That’s far and away his biggest problem. You can live with the other dumb things, but being careless with the ball is a deal breaker no matter how talented he is.

The bottom line is you simply can’t be that careless with the ball. You can live with some of the other dumb things like running straight into the defense when there’s no pressure, but the turnover thing is a deal-breaker. How do you think a coach like parcells would’ve handled that QB performance last night?

The negative runs on 1st down are killer. Cook was used too much last night. And his lack of getting an extra yard or 2 on dump offs ended 2 drives. Murray got the 1st down on the Josh no look dump off. Cook would not have.

You go heavy with 2 tight ends, 1 of the power backs, run the ball, and throw short passes. Any decent play caller could see Josh was shook the majority of the game. Take the decision making away from him when he looks like that and the gane can be easily won.

Josh ain’t going anywhere. Dorsey is a couple weeks away from being unemployed. You simply can’t lose that game last night. Any sane play-caller reins Josh in and finds a way to put 3 points on the board on one of those 1st 4 possessions of 2nd half. That’s all it would’ve took to wrap up that game.

Yep. It’s like he didn’t know where he was on the field half the time too. The TD to Diggs was pure luck his back heel was on LOS. He wanted to pass on another play when he was 7 yards past LOS. He consistently ran right into their D-Linemen when there wasn’t pressure, and inexplicably took hits when there was no reason too. That was about as bad as you can play QB mixed in with a handful of wow plays. It’s clear Dorsey needs to go.

Agreed. I can’t think of many starting QB’s who could’ve lost that game up 10 playing against Zack Wilson.

This. His decision making is horrendous. There’s really only a handful of starting QB’s in the NFL who could’ve lost that game tonight.

This. It’s why we stink in close games. Stay up by 2 scores and you can’t lose. Josh has no concept of just taking the damn win instead of going for the blowout. Josh needs a Shanahan type like Elway did.

If a change is gonna be made, the easiest one to make is getting rid of Dorsey. Josh stunk but it was like we weren’t even trying to win the game. Any points in the first 4 possessions of the 2nd half and the game was over. Go heavy with 2 Tight Ends and Murray or Harris when the same crap with Cook ain’t working.

he ain’t quick thinking enough to take the check down quickly. He’d rather tuck it and run straight into a defensive lineman.

Can’t be long before companies start pulling him from their national commercials. He ain’t that guy.

He is what he is at this point. Immense physical talent who probably doesn’t have it upstairs. The offense has to be dumbed down for him. Power running game with play action. He has too much freedom for being a turnover machine. And the hits he takes for no reason are absolutely head-scratching. Turn him into a better version of Tannehill. He ain’t never gonna be Mahomes or Burrow. 0-5 in overtime.

Dawkins looked huge at the Pro Bowl in february. I give him credit for identifying his problem and doing something about it well before the season started. I hope he has a great year. He’s arguably the 3rd most important player on the team behind Allen and Diggs.

Crazy how little that guy is paid based on his value. He’s been paid $10-12m per year. If anyone should be holding out it’s him.

Goff is a sub-par athlete and doesn’t have a big arm. If you take away his 1st read or pressure him, he’s a backup level QB.

Kirksey surprisingly has made $37m so far in his NFL career. Dude must really love football if he’s willing to be on the practice squad and then be making the vet minimum if he actually gets called up to the 53 man roster

Every team would be in on Bosa. Wouldn’t surprise me if it was the Chiefs. Especially if Jones is gonna sit out.

McDermott loves Benford. No way he gets traded. Elam is only CB I could see being dealt and chance of that is remote.

I don’t necessarily blame him for that. Focusing on process and demanding professionalism has served him and the organization well. But you gotta be able to coach the talented guys up too and to me that’s what’s holding us back from taking next step.

Yes. I think the roster is improved and has closed gap with Cincy and KC. Kincaid, Sherfield, Harty, the RB’s, the Guards are all better than what we had last year. On defense, our secondary is improved and our D Line is top 5 with Miller. The only downgrade on the roster is Middle Linebacker and against the better QB’s Edmunds got picked apart anyway.

Surprisingly, Houston only has $7m in cap space. Can’t see them cutting Keenum when they guaranteed his 2023 salary and $1m of his 2024 salary and paid him a $750k bonus. Worth it just to have him on roster to mentor Stroud instead of eating $4m.

I liked what I saw from Dodson in the 1st half yesterday. He’s doesn’t have Edmunds length and range, but he seems more instinctive and showed an edge. I was extremely impressed by Benford. Good coverage and sure tackler. Can’t stand Epenesa’s game. For a guy who rushes wide every play and gives up huge rushing lanes, he doesn’t get home nearly enough. Really like Sherfield. Davis and Knox aren’t sure handed enough. Can see Josh trusting Sherfield and Kincaid more than Davis and Knox. Harty is an upgrade over McKenzie. The O-Line/run game looks improved. I think we have a Super Bowl caliber roster. Think it will come down to health and more importantly coaching. Can McDermott get over the hump?

Can easily see Sherfield taking more and more of Gabe’s reps. Not sure what Davis dies so much better than Sherfield that overcomes Gabe’s drive-killing drops.

It’s a coaching failure if a guy who was probably your best DB at the end of year as a rookie is CB4 coming out of preseason. I guess we need to watch Dane get cooked by Rodgers and every other decent QB when the games actually mean something before McDermott is forced to turn back to Elam. McDermott loves those lunch pail guys, but they ain’t getting you over the hump. Gotta be able to coach up the talented guys.
