Beginning to think we can with AR not being a really accurate passer
December 23, 2024
He might turn the tide on the league. Ok passer, excellent runner and explosive play QB. Call me crazy, but we might be able to make it far if he can become mid at passing

This was always the goal, but I’m not sure he can become mid at passing.
Hopefully so.
I also saw that he has more wins than losses in all games he’s played now. I think AR is really gonna defy box score watchers in this league for years to come
We don’t need him to throw for 4000 yards a season to be successful. I see AR having a Jalen hurts type ceiling. Might only throw for 3000 yards a season and 10-15 touchdowns, but if he can also put up 600+ rushing yards and 10 rushing tds we can find success with him. Just need to find a way to reduce his turnover worthy plays and bad decision making. However Allen learned to do that hopefully AR can replicate it.

This is what everyone was saying before he was even drafted. I remember Zach Hicks and Ben Solak saying let him rely on his legs while he develops as a passer. The Jalen Hurts plan. It’s what we should have been doing in the beginning of the season.
The fact that we only won by 8 in that game is insane
We beat a terrible Titans team by 8 points. Pump the brakes a bit on extrapolating what happened today to what can happen when we play decent teams.
Get him a pass catching TE and hope it unlocks a level of consistency to his game. He’s been awful most of the year but I will enjoy games like this from him 10/10 times in his 2nd year
And what happens when a team shuts down the run? You have to be able to pass in order to get far in this league.
Now don’t get it confused, I think AR has potential and deserves more time but to say he doesn’t need to become a better passer is just copium.
It was the Titans.
He has already improved where he started the season as a passer. Also his ability to get us TD’s or even first downs at the end of the game is very promising. Young QBs are going to struggle at times.
We are developing better game plans for our offense and we are seeing the potential.
Titans are one of the worst teams in the league. Out of 15 games theyve played, they won 3.
All we need to do is play a team as bad as the Titans every week.
I don’t see why this can’t be the formula for a couple seasons. It is definitely possible for ARs accuracy to improve a couple percentage points every season. Sooner or later he can be 65% passer which is solid
Coaching staff should’ve realized this WEEKS ago. Gotta lean on your QB’s strengths if it’s effective
We beat an absolute dogshit titans team by one possession and we get this crap filling the sub. Dumbest fan base by far.
He HAS to become a threat as a passer or the run game will mean nothing. When defenses no longer respect the pass they can commit to the run and shut everything down. That’s exactly what happened to Kaepernick and why he didn’t amount to anything despite having legs.
We can what? Finish 7-9 wins each year in a division that’s more than up for grabs but somehow fight for a wildcard spot, go on the road and get beat by 30 by the #2 seed?
I get downvoted every time I say it, but the best thing we can hope for from AR is a Taysom Hill type role. Not sure why so many people are against it, but so be it.
Just run the triple option like Army and Navy?
Mid at passing is a fine starting point, but absolutely cannot be the end game. We aren’t winning a superbowl with a mid passer
Chill out! It was a 3 win team we beat. Yall so hot and cold every game.
>He might turn the tide on the league. Ok passer, excellent runner and explosive play QB.
That’s what they said about Vick. And Tebow. And probably half a dozen rushing QBs in the past. The tide of the league isn’t going to change, but that doesn’t mean that AR can’t carve out his own path.
Just need 300-yard rushing days. Those are easy.
Lmao so suddenly AR is a God again..
I can’t with this sub
So, Cam. That’s what we all wanted, yeah.
The idea was to allow him to run until he got work on his passing. Remember the first preseason game where Steichen only gave him half of the field? Like that.
He’s been bad, sure, but Steichen and Ballard have done absolutely nothing to help him.
