Turnovers really impacted this game TO's turnover going into the endzone was 7. Another TO in the endzone, and another one that was 7 the other way. On our side we got one turnover in the endzone.
Besides that Graham should be the starter the rest of the way. Oliver is a great athlete but he just isn't a QB, either in skill or in mentality. Graham is obviously inexperienced and made a few mistakes, but he also showed a good bit of upside. I'm thinking whatever happened to his hand had some impact on his later throws because he left several of them high. Go with Graham as the starter, have LJ be the backup when he gets healthy, try to work in Yates a little in a couple of games, and have Oliver head to RB or WR. Oliver is a great playmaker, but not a big enough one to overcome our other problems.
Defense I thought we played well overall but we have a serious issue on the D Line and need better play from the LBs. Going to take time to get to where we want to ultimately be but we're making progress.
Overall, I have to laugh at people losing their mind and acting like this is some unfathomable turn of events. There is a reason that people were projecting 3-9 and projections aren't worse case scenarios. Unfortunately pretty much all the questions we had were answered in a negative fashion. No, switching stances didn't solve our Pass Pro problems, and no our WRs being able to "run and catch" didn't make them not be a liability. Unfortunately we combined that with also getting hit with an injury bug on the OL and this is what you get.
Fortunately, how the offense looks in year one with almost all players who fit in a different system doesn't really say much about how things will look once players recruited for this offense and have years in the offense will look, and recruits understand the struggles more than some of our fans seem to do.
