The “OL was too bad” point has already been covered.  By me probably more than anyone here. This conversation is about whether the GM did an acceptable job, not how good or bad Joe Flacco would have been.

JD could've added any veteran QB and we added ...Trevor Siemian.  That's where he failed. 

We promoted Tim Boyle from the PS and then replaced him with Brett Rypien.  None of these QBs are better players than Zach Wilson.  Their "experience" in the system didn't do excrement for us either.

Flacco would've been a disaster here, but signing him (or any veteran QB with actual starting experience) would've at least shown that we didn't just throw in the towel.  Pivoting to Tim Boyle was basically rock bottom. 
He shook my hand breed tub and walked away

Maybe. Maybe he'd have won the same number of games as Zach. Maybe he'd have won games Zach lost and lost games Zach won. Most likely he'd have been destroyed and done for the season by week 6. It's impossible to know for sure, but the one thing I am very sure of is that he wouldn't have solved any of the actual problems with the team.

We started Tim Boyle and Trevor Siemian in real games this season!

Saleh and Hackett are more at fault than Douglas...if you really want to keep score.

Mate, you're shuffling deckchairs on the Titanic. Only one QB stood any chance of salvaging anything from this roster and playcalling, and he died four snaps into the season.

we hired another DC to run this team, and big surprise...the offense is completely rudderless. 


Douglas could've drafted and signed the greatest show on turf offense, and it would've floundered under this coaching staff.

We should give that a try and see what happens

According to Russini it’s cause we didn’t watch enough tape

Yeah, I'd be in favor of installing a high-octane offense just for shits and giggles.
Teams that draft well do so no matter where they pick. Teams that draft poorly do so no matter where they pick I want my team to win games and draft well

But our coaches will freak it up!

Better to not even try

Oh no not another wasted season!

The alternative is that we fire everyone and start over at QB and have another wasted season, but different
