    Your last point is spot on. There is no way I am getting rid of JD if Zach fails. He's getting another swing at it IMO

    It’s not that bad. More competitive than we were today wi
    MLF is an issue but sometimes we can only tell so much as fans. I am ready to move on but you want to see improvement vs Buffalo. Rogers was ok vs them last night and no reason why Zach can’t be too

    I think Rodgers was frustrated with their passing D and struggled with the quick pressures. He made some unbelievable throws on very tight windows but I don't expect Zach to be at that level, not by a long shot.
    You do have a very good point regarding keeping the game close, and I was surprised as to how effective the running game was for GB, a lesson MLf need to embrace rather quickly for us to even have a chance.

    We don’t have the horses to run the ball like Green Bay did. They have one of the shiftiest backs in the league complimented by one of the biggest in the league.

    I’m not trying to be negative but I’m struggling to see how we don’t lose by three scores to Buffalo.

    Agree with everything except your last statement. He's clearly shown NFL - even elite NFL - ability. But he's been too inconsistent. There are other factors at play: poor OL, questionable play calls, - but despite that if he played more consistently he could overcome those. What's making him inconsistent at this point? Simply lack of games played? He's a slow learner? He's stubborn? His ego? Whatever it is he needs to figure it out and get over it.

    Well, I cant disagree with that, the loss of Hall was devastating, but if we can't re energize the running game with the horses we now have if will be a very one sided game. I cvlearly believe this will be the most complete and power team we would have faced this year.

    He has not shown any elite NFL ability whatsoever. I don’t even understand that statement.

    We haven’t had an elite QB since 1968. Some fans are just desperate and the fact Zach was drafted so highly gives him the benefit of the doubt in the eyes of some. If Zach was drafted in the 6th round and played the way he has no one would be supporting it or claiming he’s had “elite moments”. The kid sucks, it happens. Thank God JD has built a very good offense that hopefully a competent QB can step in and lead next year.

    CC, IMHO the only time he has flashed that - I mean once this year in the Pitt game. You can refer to last years Titains game or Jacksonville but come on...the guy is not just not a comptent QB. he is the model of inconsistency... not even game to game but within most games he is inconsistent esp. if they call a lot of passes.

    The OL while not great was not the issue yesterday... there were plentay of times yesterady where he could have step-up in the pocket or even had an alley to run and insteand he bails... We both know he is slow to process and does not see the entire field....

    Irrespective of what the HC or FO states, they have to be concerned about his play. yesterday's post game by HC, there were alot of questions about his play and there were alot of pauses before responding... To me that tell's me there is concern .... why elevate White and please don't give me the BS about them wanting to see what they have... they know, and maybe just maybe ZW is or will be on a short leash. well see soon...
