Either way it’s trying to find the best out of some less than ideal options. A situation they painted themselves in to with the constant punting at QB.

The issue with this team hasn’t been player development or in game coaching. It has been roster construction - lack of focus on key positions (WR, LT), failures at others (DE), a constant focus on development over winning, a general disregard for the value of mid level vets, and a degree of “fiscal responsibility” that puts the team at a disadvantage nearly every season. I’ve been complaining about it since Ballard’s second off season. Plenty of you pin the obvious consequences of Ballard’s philosophy on Reich. I guess we’ll agree on one thing - Reich shouldn’t be a GM.
Great post. Let's not exclude the guy who put the players that got Reich fired in place. I mean when you're starting LT is Matt Pryor your O is going to suck.

Agree on your QB take as well. Jimmy G is better than Ryan now when he's healthy, but he's hurt all of the time and probably wouldn't have made it 2 games w/ this OL Ballard put together. And just b/c Mayfield had 2 good games out of 5 w/ the Rams doesn't mean he would have been better either. He was horrible in Carolina.
