re: Why do people equate criticizing JD with “Blaming him entirely” for the loss?

It's just a straw man argument to try and protect JD. The problem isn't JD. The problem is the OC and HC are trying to call a passing game with a QB that can't pass. If you can't air the ball out, then you have to resort to more misdirection and play small ball. JD has a mental block and is who he is. We can either coach and call plays that cater to his problem, or we can continue to do long developing plays only to have him bust them with the check down or running.

Or just replace the QB!
