JoeDouglasFart Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Zach is the starting QB. Let's stop being emotional. He needs to be on the field learning. This year is all about developing Wilson and the plan should stay in place. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munchmemory Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 There have been tons of cases where a backup QB steps in and plays well. Just look at Cooper Rush last week. As starters, I think White and, especially Johnson, get exposed as not NFL caliber. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly wonder how much of it is LaFleur in the booth now.

The Colts D stopped trying in second half. The entire second half of this game was garbage time. Yes, Johnson should be commended for trying but that is about it. Hackenberg would have looked good against the soft zone they played.

mrcoops Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Johnson may not be long for this team. He's now the 4th string QB, on the Practice Squad and I'm not sure he can be protected any more times from claims by other teams. If some other team suffers an injury at QB, he's going to be a prime candidate to get plucked from our PS. The guy can drive the bus, and he's not going to get any more chances to do it here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a combination of many factors I agree with that. We still see them now but they are less. Yet, Zach holds the ball too long and moves backwards at times. So he also makes it harder, mother gives an O line a chubby like a QB that gets rid of ball quick. Zach should be stepping into this system now in it’s finished state. Not at the beginning of the year. He did all he could that first game and the entire team plus coaching let him down. That messed with him moving forward, caused the digression I think. Should have never started him till these idiots knew the system worked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude balled out and came close to giving us a shot to steal the game down 32… I think what we have learned the last 2 weeks are: 1- We have talent on offense in guys like Moore/Carter 2- Lafleur is good (definitely better than Saleh on the other side of the ball) 3- Competent veteran QBs will generally do better than rookies I don't take any of this a referendum on Wilson, rather that guys like Johnson/White have years of NFL experience and will generally do better than a rookie (whether that's Wilson/Fields/Lance/Jones/Lawrence) in a similar situation. That's why coaches like Shanahan and Nagy, with teams that needed to win now, pushed to start vets to begin the year because they knew that even marginal NFL QBs like Jimmy G and Dalton are better than the most gifted rookies coming out of college. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but the offense looked pretty good early in the game also and if not for the Ty Johnson fumble we likely score 13/17 pts in the first half which isn't too bad with an offense being lead by 2nd/3rd string QBs. Lafleur has not only saved his job, he is looking like the most competent coach in the building. Saleh's days of piling on Lafleur/Wilson and the offense are over and people are finally beginning to see what I have been saying for a while that this defense is a sham. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm less optimistic (surprise). But I will give you that LaFleur has looked a ton better than with Zack at QB. Yeah, I have no idea why Saleh was held in such high regard if this is his scheme.

There were a few really bad short throws, some bad picks where he was forcing the ball to places he should have never been throwing and even on some long passes, he threw players out of bounds. I think it was the Atlanta game where Moore was so open along the sideline, there wasn't even an Atlanta player in the camera shot. Zack led Moore out of bounds on that throw. The OL was also pretty bad last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
