Finding a qb for next season has to be a top priority.

One could hope that once we lose 3 or 4 of BAL/TEN/GE/TEN (with a 4th or 5th loss to PIT later), that our coaching staff would take the opportunity to see where we are with Easton and give him playing time.

Neither Rivers nor Biscuit can be our QB in 2021 if we want to be a playoff bound team. Neither can take us there.

I don't think Easton will be the guy either in 2021 (I hope he can develop into that guy later but think he is still pretty raw) but we will not know that unless he gets playing time.

A new and different rookie in 2021 also does not get us there. It is either Easton or a veteran free agent.

However, knowing Reich and Ballard, they will stick with Rivers thought the end of the year barring injury....and probably into 2021 as well.

I think we need a solid NFL QB, not a softball bat.

We need more firepower in general. So far the rookies have been fairly disappointing. But they’re rookies, shouldn’t be depending on them.

Pittman looked good Sunday I think he’s only gonna get better the injury set him back a lil bit Taylor has got to get some confidence he needs a big game in the worst way

Pittman will be good. I really believe the more WR firepower you have the better the QB can perform. If you have 3+ receivers that the D really has to worry about, they all get a shot at being open. You can't cover everyone effectively. If Paris Campbell and TY were also healthy along with Pittman, there would always be someone getting low talent coverage.

Sure if we are completely healthy that we look better. But that never seems to be the case. Starting RB hurt a lot, number 1 WR hurt a lot, Cambell barely played since drafted. Like last year we have a bunch of dudes and a rookie who is not fast out there. At least we had Ebron who is a mismatch with below average hands. Really need to find a few more players who are hopefully durable. And a new number one receiver... oh and a QB. No biggie.

Agree. We are not strong enough offensively to compete the tops teams.
