The season starts and so many say give Freeman this season under a true HC and coordinator to make an evaluation…. And now because Freeman hasn’t played as those people had hoped they are blaming everything but Freeman…

4 seasons (3 as a starter) and he still plays inconsistantly…. He would make an ideal backup Qb (on the days he has to fill in and plays as the good QB Josh) but not an NFL starter… Their will always be other things to blame Freeman’s inadequacies on but that doesn’t help him in the least….

A penny will always be a penny and it is useless as long as you need anything other than a penny!

@TJ…..No…we shouldn’t have drafted Claiborne. If we draft Claiborne we don’t get the 4th round pick and without the 4th round pick we don’t have Lavonte David or Doug Martin. Next years draft is deep on good CB’s. I’m sure we’ll draft several.

As for Freeman…he is frustrating. He has all the throws and for 5 games straight he looked fantastic but these last couple of games he has looked lost. I really believe it’s his decision making process. He just makes throws to the wrong receiver. He tried too many times to fit the ball into a nonexistent window. Oh well, it is what it is. They are making us mad this year because they are losing games they should win…not because they are quitting or getting blown out. I figured Philadelphia would show up to play today. They know the super bowl team is being honored and they came to spoil the fun. Once again our pass D folded. Oh well.

I cannot understand the reason Freeman continues to overthrow receivers that are wide opened. And, over the past few weeks he’s thrown int’s that were dropped by opposing teams’ defense. Freeman take sacks that are ridiculous. After check down with primary and secondary receivers, and no one is open, why not run for the first down or get positive yards vs a sack or int? Freeman is inconsistent and continues to play like a rookie during crunch time…again inconsistent. Rookies RG III, Andrew Luck, Russell Wilson, and 2nd yr player Kaepernick respectively play as if they’re seasoned vets…they all show and have the drive to win. Just watch the play of these players at the line of scrimmage and during post press conference. They all display leadership and have a take charge demeanor for their team. Freeman looks lost and confused during post interview and on the field. How long are we going to wait for him to consistently take control of his team. Yes, our cornerbacks sucks…it’s not a suprise, being that they consist of 7th rounders and free agents. With the weapons we have on offense, Josh should put points on the board almost each drive. He’s the suppose to be leader of this team…not the cornerbacks. Look at Josh’s winning record against teams with winning records from the the first game he started (9th game of 09 season) to date. Here are the numbers: Games won against teams with winning records: 09 -two games 2010- 2 games(one of the wins was a 7-9 playoff team), 2011- 2 games, 2012 -1 game. Only thing Freeman has shown is that he sometimes can win against losing teams…not today. I believe Freeman shouldn’t be given this big contract until he consistently proves himself as a leader and fighter.We made mistakes paying underacheivers QBlack, MClayton. JFaine, DWard,SJones, and GAdams(RIP). Next year will be Josh 5th yr in the league. Even with getting good corners in the draft and FA next yr, Josh will continue to be our weakest link. Yes we’re talking playoff, and yes, Josh was just that, his play was off during crunch time against a team with a rookie QB. He was outplayed.

One good thing from today: we aren’t Arizona fans.

Pathetic effort in front of the super bowl champs. Freeman was miserable. Tough to explain how they came up so small on such a big day.

patrick, after all you have said, you think having talib for these games would have made a difference? you blame freeman and not the defense so what can talib do. talib is not elite.

also, you wouldn’t trade talib for the 4th rounder they got when you know he was gone after the season?

@Patrick,
I would love to, but my only email is a business email and my wife doesn’t want me to give it out for personal stuff. I think I need to get a personal one.
