We have a top 10 offense and a bottom 5 defense. 

Are you sure both are problems?

Do we really have a top 10 offense?   What metric are you using to come to that conclusion?   You focusing on yards, because yards don't win games... points do.  15 points last week and 14 offensive points this week.  That's not top 10 offense to me.  And this team loses the turnover battle each and every week. 

 

So, yes, both are problems.

It's the defense fault qb1 is ass. You're so right. Maybe lift your head up off qb1 lap and watch the game

Credo che sia un giocatore orribile. Lui gioca quasi sempre male. Abbiamo bisogno un QB migliore.

Don't have to. It's obvious. 

Ah the ol’ "if you don’t like Hurts, you’re a bigot” argument. Adorable. 

He's very frustrating to watch. At times he looks like he has the franchise qb thing down making most of the throws and you can see why people defend him so adamantly....but it seems his game breaks down the moment everything isn't going perfectly. I believe we were perfectly healthy that '22 season. That isn't common place in the nfl. Receivers and lineman go down. Also, the league will take away your strengths. I don't know if he has gotten slower, or they just figured out how to neutralize his legs...but they are nowhere near as effective.  At some point you can't just keep blaming the coaches and who's missing on the field and start blaming the man in the jersey...

I don't think he's done because of money. I think he's done because he is a super slow thinker and an inaccurate passer. He's been that for 5 years now. Move him after this season. There's a reason Bama got rid of him.

Situation is reminding me of Wentz a lot. Though Wentz didn't have a Brown, Smith, and Barkley

Be it the $250 million starting QB. Or the journeyman QB, backup, whatever.

QB play isn't the reason for 2 losses, we need to get healthy and we need the defense to be consistent/better.  Baker looked mediocre the past 2 weeks, had an INT in both games, and then has a record day against this defense. Jalen definitely needs to improve on pocket awareness and protect the ball better, but he shouldn't be in a position where he has to play perfect in order to come back from a 24 point deficit.

Hurts didn't have Brown and Smith yesterday, or Lane (which is why the pass rush was so effective).  

You'd think our OC would be smart and lean more on Barkley with Smith and AJ out, but no. You'd also think Fangio would make adjustments after getting walked down on that 1st series, but nope. OK, 2nd series same results, time to make adjustments right? Nope.   I'm just gonna be honest, I think the bigger issue is coaching.

I think the decline started because of the money.  He far surpassed expectations (and even his own I would imagine) and got paid for one season that was now obviously an outlier relative to his ability.  And I don’t think the money gave him a sense of entitlement, to the contrary, I think he wanted to prove that he was worth the money and knew deep down that he wasn’t.  So he has pressed ever since.  He has been unable to consistently handle the pressure ever since.

1st off all read the room. QB play is the reason for the teams poor performances. Jalen has been in decline for over a year. It's very clear that Jalen needs people around him to make himself better. Not the opposite. It's same talk every week, with no changes. I have to be better, yadda, yadda, yadda. All lip service just like the C.E.O. coach.

I call his style of play 2 read (brown and Smith) and speed (take off). Last year the league worked on taking away the speed element of his game and overall was successful. Everyone calling for the RPO isn't paying attention...they know it's coming and own it anytime we try it. It's year two of trying to develop a THIRD read and it's leading to him holding the ball the longest in the league still and him constantly getting stripped.  Luckily for him he will have A+ talent around him for years so he will always be okay...but it's really hard to ignore everything we've seen

There are other players to throw the ball to. It's not just Smith and Brown. Yes Lane was out but you adjust. They didn't adjust at all

So the 15 missed tackles are because of Jalen's play?  Was it Jalen's fault that Fangio didn't make adjustments on defense?  Honestly, he could've had a good game yesterday with no turnovers, and we probably still would've lost because the defense was that bad. Yeah, he has to be better, but ignoring AJ, Smith, and Lane being out is hilarious. If those guys had played, we probably win due to the offense carrying the defense, much like we did last season in the 10-1 start.

Yeah, and when you aren't getting sacked 6 times and hurried often, you have time to throw to those other guys.  Seriously though, if it was that easy to come in and replace AJ and Smith's production, then do we even need those guys? Just let them go and spend the money elsewhere then with that logic, lol.

To be fair, it´s a huge drop from Smitty and Brown, and even Britain Covey, to Johnny Wilson. 

I do agree Jalen as a part of the problem, but he isn´t the only problem. Tampa yesterday knew they just had to stack the box and our offense would be in big trouble. And the defense was trash yesterday (though in part because they were on the field so much early, in horrible conditions)

The defense is a separate issue. Jalens play and command of the QB position is lacking. Yes, he was without 3 top players yesterday. He didn't do anything to elevate his game. Jalen has been regressing in his fundamentals and awareness for over a year. He still doesn't read his wr route progressions, misses easy throws, still goes for the harder (percentage wise) throws. Instead of taking what is in front of him.

There isn't replacing aj or Smith, but most qbs in the league have neither of those guys...and Jalen has both plus Dallas, Barkley, and a really solid to great oline. Sometimes it's on the qb to execute the gameplan, not rely on the talent to bail him out of his poor execution of the gameplan.
