I’m convinced everyone on this thread who has an opinion about the roster doesn’t have the capability to understand what it will take for this team to win a championship. Desmond Ridder is not the issue, the defense is not the issue and our offensive weapons are not the issue. The o line needs to improve for the run game to improve. The play calling needs to improve in order for our weapons to be utilized properly. Fix that we win our championship in less than 5 years.

    I hate the Arthur Smith slander. Desmond can’t hit a deep ball for his life. This subreddit is brutally bashing our head coach when he’s handicapped by a terrible QB. There is only so much you can do when you have to rely on running the ball and short passes.

    He threw for 121 yards as the starting QB in an NFL game. That’s an “issue” 99.9% of the time (the 0.1% being when it’s snowing / raining and gusting too hard to do anything other than hand the ball off, which wasn’t the case today).

    I know Ridder ain’t it from one simple thing. The way the kid stands in the backfield waiting for the ball. Thats some real G5 college football type of stance lol.

    Like a system QB for a small school would by running the play the coach calls, without reading the defense or making adjustments.

    It’s not promising.

    Ridder is playing QB next year. Unfortunately it’s the best option if we continue to build these wins. He wants to be a leader and at this point he controls his own destiny.

    Can we agree that Kyle Pitts does not give full effort on any play ever? Say whatever you will about injury but the man’s literally jogging every route

    He may not be THE issue, but he is a major issue. If Smith and Font want to keep their jobs, they will have to address the position in some fashion.
