Ballard was here to talk about the entire roster, the season going forward, the recent activities ie the roster cuts, potential signings etc, not to rehash the same old crap about the QB battle, that was last weeks news.

While the QB decision happened last week it's not last week's news in regards to the fact that it's the story of the season. So of course the press is going to beat it to death. Plus isn't this the first time a lot of the reporters have had a chance to ask Ballard about it? Either way I have news for Ballard - the questioning on DJ/AR isn't going to be going away soon, and will get 10x if DJ struggles.

Also, I'm glad to see Ballard and Steichen get a good amount of heat on this. It's more than well deserved since they royally fucked up the QB situation to the nth degree.

100% correct.

100% correct. Reminds me of my 20's as a grunt, guys would come into work the day after a pre-season game like, "Did you see? The Texans beat the SB champs 31-10. And people said they weren't gonna be good, hmph!"

This is for them.

What do any of them accomplish? Vultures don't eat good meat.

I think your hatred is making you lack insight here. I have a job I love, and if I had to change jobs to another field, I would say that it sucks to have a "real job". So, I get exactly what he meant. He loves that job, so it is not like a job, but like a passion. Those do not suck like "real jobs".

Yeah, prob right. He just strikes me as so fucking pompous and so impressed with himself---- and I just can't figure out WHY?
