    You never know. I saw both Brady and Fitzpatrick comment that they were upset Rivers got a call to come play instead of them. Heck, Matt Ryan did as well now that I think about it. Not that we'd want a recent retiree, but the potential QB pool could be bigger than you'd think. We'll find someone to start.

    But here's the thing- we've had an offense that didn't focus on Tua for about 5 weeks now. Your stats on Achane are prior to that, in the prior pass-heavy offense where the run blocking was sub-par.

    Before it was Tua getting Achane good looks; now it's the exact opposite. McDaniel absolutely proved he could win without Tua, even though Tua was on the field for that four-game win streak. Two completely different offenses due to the line getting healthy and figuring some things out.

    I would guess the plan all along was that once we lost again, Tua was going to be benched. He has regressed so badly over this season that even casual fans have noticed.

    Does anyone really think teams are scared of Tua?His arm is gone.Mcdaniel knew this and switched his scheme from passing to running.
    Sometimes using 6 offensive lineman.

    Lazy boy Tua deserved this

    he’s done wearing flip flops to work

    he’s never gonna take another snap again for us

    the culmination of poor work ethic and laziness is what we witnessed this year

    n


    He gone, see ya

    When you have to "hide" your quarterback and game plan around hiding him, AND he's making 50+ million, it's time to end things. I, for one, was mostly annoyed with how he's conducted himself this entire season. Throwing teammates under the bus, his crappy leadership, just all of it. We're getting our asses kicked in a game, and he's laughing and joking on the sidelines. We lose, we get eliminated from the postseason yet again, and he's joking around and yucking it up with Jalen Ramsey after the game. I've had enough of the mouth-kissing of opposing players. You never saw Dan Marino do that. Tom Brady never did that. Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, they don't do that. Losing is really not an acceptable trait in their DNA, and it shouldn't be with a guy that's supposed to be leading your team...You're a supposed franchise player. It's completely unacceptable that he's behaved that way. Give him his money and send him down the road.
