Right? Excuse after excuse and ignoring the fact that the play call would be a genius play if Freeman could actually throw an accurate pass anywhere other than 20 yards down the field. I guess its the play calls that forces Free to miss wide open receivers when he has no pressure on him. Or misread the defense. Or fail to properly audible to the defense. Free is the best player on our opponents team lately.

Oh my God quit with the excuses
Funny thing
In year 8 the same mistake will be occurring and yet the same people will be finding new excuses for him.
He is a professional quarterback in the NFL and the only measurement anyone that actually matters is going to use is Wins and Losses because believe me that’s the only measurement that’s going to be used against them. Do you honestly the the FO is trying to come up with excuses for Freeman when their ass is on the line??? No they want results!!! And simply put its not happening with Free going into year 5. So continue being ignorant to the truth, I’m just glad the FO can’t afford to be.

Look i’m not saying Freeman is Elite in any kind of way, but to think we can’t win with him is Funny. Our first 5 games we played was the worst play calling on the offense I ever seen. So to blame him for the losses against the Giants, Dallas, and Washington is absurd. Yes he played like S%@t against the Eagles, but brought us back to take the lead. There play calling at the end lossed us the game. The Saints well there is no excuse, but the team played bad not just Freeman. The Rams Freeman,Mike Williams and Mike Sullivan deserve the blame for that. Mike slipped on 2 passes one got an INT and the second almost anothe INT. Freeman did suck that game, but red zone play calling I blame on Sullivan. Having Freeman throw it all 4 downs come on thats both Mike for calling the play and Freeman for not checking out of the play. The rest Defense lost. I’m all about winning, so I don’t really care who we have, but if we could win a SuperBowl with Johnson, the Ravens with Dilfer, and the Niners going to the NFC Championship with Alex Smith and the SeaHawks going to the playoffs with Russell Wilson Guys who throw 200 yard or less in a game because they have a defense to carry them.We can win with Freeman. They just need to limit his throwing. We have 3 RB on the team pound that ball and let Freeman throw when it’s needed. If we had a mediocre defense we’d be going into the playoffs this year. The defense lost us more games than Freeman, But hey if we get Geno and he wins i’m all about it, just don’t think it’s going to happen.

@Jville:
“I hope you watched that game yesterday because clearly 2 of those picks weren’t Josh’s fault one I’ll give him while the other I give a 50/50.”

The problem is that Gosh threw 7 picks Sunday, the Rams dropped 3.

@thegregwitful

“We need to get away from the Geno Smith talk, no need to build something up that likely won’t happen. Geno is going within the first three picks of the draft and will either be a member of the Chiefs, Jags or Bills, we need to accept this.”

I saw in a Mock Draft yesterday that the Chiefs were shopping the #1 overall pick for a veteran QB or to drop down in the draft to pick up a defensive player. Bingo.

In 4 more years we will still be sitting here making excuses for Josh Freeman. We will blame injuries, refs, pass rush & secondary. There will be enough bad play in these areas to keep the conversation going. We will have a good year followed by a bad one, and so on. All the while, Peyton Manning & Tom Brady will win more Super Bowls. You really need an elite QB to win consistently. Give Josh one more season and draft the next elite QB whenever he comes along.

Freeman has completed 54% of his passes! Our defense is indeed horrendous, but at least 4 of our losses have been DIRECTLY on him….. the Dallas, Washington, Saints and Rams game he was dreadful! The fact that were still having to baby Freeman and still question him as our franchise QB after his 4th year means there’s something wrong.

Of course there were a few games that you can pin directly on the defense, im not saying their werent but they were few.
-In ATL for instance if Free had hit his open receivers in the endzone
-In Philly we had the ball at midfield multiple time and couldnt even hit a FG if we had done that we would have rendered that drive useless

I see where I went wrong. My bad, what I meant was that the offense in most of those game were in position to score and make it to where the defense did not have to make that game ending stop to win the game. But they failed to do that, It would not have mattered if they scored on that last drive in other words. Yes our pass defense is horrible and many of those players need to be let go aswell but just because they present a major problem doesnt mean Free doesnt aswell.
