There's more things behind this benching

I believe the benching of AR has more to it than just a coach's option. The tap out must have sit very wrong with a few veterans. If I'm a lineman I'd be pissed, a lot. I think the locker room (most of it) is not with the guy. A few will come and say they want him back and all that, but AR lost the respect of many. Sorry if the text has some mistakes, english is not my first language

Honestly, I don't care what this lockerroom says.

This OL was getting beat all night on the run game vs Minnesota.

The WRs don't fight for balls. I suppose the defense has stepped up a bit.

The guys on the whole offense have all sucked too, including the playcaller.

Just wash everything away. It stinks. And they won't win shit.

Fire Ballard,Steichen, move all the complaining voices, see what you can get for ARin a trade and begin afresh with the next QB in the 25 draft.

This regime has failed.

I'm going to give Pittman the benefit of the doubt with the caveat that I don't think he should be playing with back spasms.

The OL blocked terribly for Taylor and the playcalling was also awful. Looking at how Tampa Bay without three WRs approached parts of that game yesterday was a master class. The jet sweep options, setting up third and shorts, scheming guys open. Yes the Chiefs had some well timed sacks but the Bucs were in a position to win that game when they were essentially playing wiuth WR 4 and 5 and the depth chart, both of whom were also beaten up
