Totally agree with his points. Spot on.

Cowherd makes me sick sometimes especially when he talks about Tua, Riddick had to remind him that hey, the kid has no Oline, no Running game and an abysmal WR unit.....but he is still winning games. Cowherd then talks about the coaching staff not asking Tua to do to much, but he phrases it as if Tua is incapable of doing more, not for the reasons mentioned before. We live in a microwave society and sometimes it sucks, if you want these kids coming out of college young, you have to develop them, and that takes time, not every QB will be Payton Manning ready from day one and even he had to learn to be a NFL QB. Fans called for Flores, Grier, Tua and Ross to be replaced because the rebuild hit a snag, and this was after winning 10 games last season, something we had no business doing, we just have to be patient and let the process play out.
We are winning now but you can't expect us as fans to be patient on a 7 game losing streak especially after we showed so much promise last year.
No need for anybody to defend Tua. He's playing well with no running game to help him and with one WR that he can count on. Do I even need to start on coaching?

As far as the fans are concerned, you can’t lump Flores in with Tua. As a head coach in the NFL, you can’t lose 7 in a row in a season when you had high(er) expectations. Find a way to end that skid before it ruins your season.
This.
Cowturd was totally corrected and educated when he tried to badmouth Tua to Channing Crowder who from a first hand observation knows better. Colon did not expect such a spirited disagreement.
If by now he doesn't know better he's either a dumba$$ or trolling for the proverbial "clicks!"

Pretty sure Cowherd is a member here. I believe his avatar is a pic of Marino at Pitt

You should, aide from the Bowhard idiocy, it is a pretty interesting take Riddick has.
IMO they are asking Tua to do a lot. He's carrying the offense. He has to be both the passing game and an extension of the run game. He has to compensate for the OL blocking deficiencies by getting the ball out quick and/or running around. He has to be hyper-accurate to compensate for a receiving core that leads the NFL in drops. He has to run PRO offense (instead of an RPO offense) b/c the RBs struggle to get over 3.0 ypc on any given game.

I would love for Riddick to be our new GM. He backs Tua and understands the team needs.
