I understand fans wanting to see great performances every week.

However, no QB (not elite) will put up great numbers every week. There are also elite defenses each week and offensive game plans that factor into the equation.

My point is few QB's pull off an 85+ QBR each week for many reasons, I hope our fans are realistic and knowledgeable of their expectations.

I also hope the first game we lose we evaluate the team performance and just the QB focus. Yes, the QB is a huge part, but so are our defense and special teams performances. I hope they remember the offense overcame or defense giving up two 4th quarter leads last week and our offense stepped it up. It is a team game.
