I did it at the DMV yesterday - like a fucking champ. Plenty of distractions - but I got the job done.
Just admit it already - Nix is a failure of a QB and once again your front office and genius gm have set the program even further back than they already were.

I explained it a couple of times but I’m not that surprised to find a failure to understand it from a bunch of people who have never mastered even one difficult skill.

You'll feel better if you just admit it.
But that's the whole point--you've already mastered the task. I have no problem assuming you're world class.
But you have to take yourself back to before you had mastered your talent. In the beginning, you had to focus on getting the position and rhythm and everything else just right. [Reply]

I'm all in on the Donks stacking wins...I hope it continues. The more pointless W's they accumulate...the less chance they'll replace Nix.
Take a look over at Washington...that's what you want to see from your rookie QB...not "I hope he can eventually compete with the Raiders/Titans of the league...if we just add a few pieces around him"...or "Omg, he completed a 20 yard pass" [Reply]

What about the other game? The third one?
The one against a team missing their 3 best defensive players?? [Reply]

And you look at the functionality of the offense in the first four games, and the results, and where is the difference?
Wasting a 12th overall pick to become worse? Could have drafted Bowers...at least you would have a future playmaker on offense.
It's crazy to think your new QB could have not thrown a single pass and had more passing yards. I could have accomplished that...
There is a difference between a rookie QB taking his lumps and being inept...dude is old for a rookie...he's the same age as Trevor Lawrence...he also had an entire extra season in college. [Reply]

That's how it works if you need a QB. The hit rate shows you may well need to take a couple of shots to find the right person.
And I don't see how they're worse. They're 2-2 vs. 1-3 last year. The offense hasn't moved the ball consistently and they also didn't do that last year.
Positive difference is that instead of going to Florida and giving up 70 they shut down a pretty good Tampa offense. [Reply]
