First off did anyone look at Rush when he was on the sidelines, it seemed like he was a bit upset that he had to come out after leading us down the field, can you blame him??? The Lance packages didn't work, or needed to be better drawn up, or maybe a weaker defense would be best! Should we keep this going with Lance, or ditch it until the season is lost, and he can have all the time in the world to be the starter and do this all throughout the game?? Please give your thoughts

It's so obvious he's going to run the option when he's in. So dumb. Just telegraphing the plays. Let him play as QB1 or sit him, we don't need a package for him unless McCarthy will get creative and do some play action passing with him.

He didn't pass once, how the hell does an NFL coaching staff think it will surprise anyone?

I was thinking the same thing, I'm one of the smartest posters on here, and I knew it was coming!!!! (sarcasm, calm down guys!)

If your going to play Lance put him in for more then a play or two. I said it when the Cowboys traded for him, Lance does fit MM offense. Our head coach has never coached a run first quarterback. He actually downgraded with Dak after coaching Hall of Famers in Green Bay.

It's not about Lance, there's no creativity in the way he's utilized. You go all the way down the field and decide to bring him in on the 5 yard line, gee I wonder if the defense is going to sell out to stop the run.

If you're going to do it, make it less predictable.

Bringing Lance out for one play is a dead giveaway that a counter, stretch, or zone read is coming.

If you bring Lance in for a series, it might be more impactful. Though if any team is aware that a QB rotation doesn't work, it's this team.

It took 3 years to figure out how to use Turpin, so good luck thinking McCarthy is going to draw up something for Lance. Let Trey play QB, for real, or don't put him in the game...it's forced and embarrassing.

I just feel if it were done against us, teams would be successful, I just dont' know what it is!!
