When someone calls anyone who disagrees with him racist, advocates for defunding an organization that, without, the school wouldn't be where it is today and retweets support for a designated hate group, his on-field flaws will be magnified and much harder to overlook.

Granted. That's why I said earlier that some of the hate he gets, he brought upon himself. I have no problem acknowledging that. I also have no problem saying he's got limitations and has likely reached his ceiling as a college QB, which is a solid game manager who won't lose you games.

But you said in your previous post that he's held us back by only throwing to "his guys." Like I showed, that's pretty disingenuous. Like you, I vehemently disagree with every stance Mond has taken off the field. But on it, I can at least see that he's made marked improvements, and don't have to baselessly besmirch his competitiveness to make my point. He's a gamer. He's proved that time and again. Often with subpar body language, and he's probably not the heart and soul of the team, but he IS a solid QB--we can't deny that, nor should we.

You seem to define "not lose you games" by "screwing up so badly you hand the game to the other team," but missing open receivers, failing to see open receivers, waiting too long to run, burning timeouts, ... also lose games.

Has he imrpoved? Yes, but I would expect any QB to improve if started 4 years. We've seen his ceiling and I am ready for someone with a higher ceiling.

It has nothing to do with race, hurt feelings, how hard he worked or how hard he tried. I want someone who can consistently see and hit open receivers. I want someone with emotion, passion, energy, and positive body language on the field.

I didn't like his off-field antics, but I have plenty of on-field reasons to want to move on to a new QB. Even fans from other teams comment Mond is holding us back. Frankly, I'm surprised so many are defending his play and downvoting anyone who is ready to move on.
