It was an interception back to the 3 yard line. We were up by 14 and he didn't just overthrow the TE by a couple yards, he air mailed it by 15 yards. Terrible pass. shite happens but complaining about people characterizing his play as a pick 6 when technically it wasn't is stupid.

Pass sucked big time. After that Jennings went into a shell and yes, we did try to run some other plays for him. He had the scared eyes.

Is this the end of the world? Know. He can improve and probably will. He has a nice release, can run the ball and can check off receivers but the game yesterday was really bad QB play. We win by 17-24 on cruise control with decent QB play. As good as Hill ran, go back and look at the game. He was running like an All Pro NFL back. Hill is a real stud. Small holes and he turns them into 25 yard gains. Plays normally stuffed at the line of scrimmage he gets huge chunks of yardage and our defense played pretty well. Punting was decent also.

We punted 10 times. Its not like the offense was clicking.

Not the end of the world but we do need major improvement before next Fall out of the QB play

I thought he did GOOD. I thought he did well enough and I thought he was competent. He will improve, they will all improve

I would say it was more of a bad day in the passing game. "Really bad QB play" includes botched handoffs, bad timeouts, false starts, etc.

What is stupid is complaining about someone correctly and factually stating it was not a pick 6. Now for the sake of your argument that AJ had a terrible game, which I agree he did, I guess calling it a pick 6, when it wasn't, is ok in your book.

My point was the fact the guy called it a pick 6 when it wasn't and added sacks to AJ's passing attempts, was an attempt to cast the worst light possible on AJ's performance. Obviously you are ok with that. Facts be damned.

I can agree AJ had a bad game without changing the way stats for QB's are computed or lying by claiming he threw a pick 6. That is embellishment to make the performance worse that it was. I graded AJ a D for his performance. But he didn't throw a pick 6 and he was not 7 0f 23 passing.
