I hope he becomes more vocal going forward. I like seeing that in a QB. Fire in the belly. Unbridled rage at times directed at people not doing their [BLEEP] jobs is necessary.

That’s good in selective doses. It has to be applied carefully or it backfires. He also has to be keenly aware of the difference between bad play and lack of talent. Yelling at players lacking talent only makes them worse. Unfortunately, that is more the culprit now.

I think he's mature enough to handle it accordingly. He's usually quiet and humble but when he does decide to speak up in anger? I bet people shut up and listen carefully. 

We'll see what happens. All I know is that, the offseason needs to be dedicated towards fixing his protection and creating running lanes for Etienne more consistently or this team will routinely be going through this schtick like the Buffalo Bills and Dallas Cowboys have been doing now for a few years. 

Failure to build the trenches is killing this team's hopes and dreams game by game. This was the one year where they should have had a chance to turn some heads potentially in the play-offs. Because it's been up and down across the conference. 

Next year? I don't think we'll see anything like this again. I could see two, three teams really running away with the conference. Hoping we're one of them. But, that doesn't happen unless the line improves for him.
