Why is it coached abandon Tre so quickly?

I'm curious if it is the wrong coaches, or the wrong attitude?  Does he say something coming off the field that makes the coaches reach for the hook?  Because it sure seems that way.

He seems to have tools, and the coach was praising his speed. But he got pulled before the end of the second half.  For Frost, who hasn't been there more than a cup of coffee.

Was Tre given a super short leash because Frost is the guy they want?

Frost appeared better in his short time back in Hamilton. Take that for what it's worth. Ford is not a pocket QB although he is trying to pass before taking off running. His time as a potential QB is running out. If he was an import he'd have been released before now.

Maybe he needs to shift positions to a DB like his brother. Speed can make up for more mistakes than at QB.

I don't understand the demotion/benching of Ford, he had the game of his life a couple of weeks ago, so he's shown he can get it done and play very well, better than the Qb play we've seen of late for sure. Not sure if Milanovich wants certain plays executed and he's not getting it done or what, but I feel for the guy, he's been kicked around quite a bit and his strength is scrambling so design roll out plays where he buys time for his receivers to get seriously open vs traditional offensive plays.

Given where we're at right now with Brown and Elgersma, I'd take Ford in a heartbeat and he'd get things done for us here. The other 2 never will.

Tre Ford can't play quarterback as a professional quarterback. He never has. He probably never will. Every coach he's had professionally has ultimately came to the same conclusion. He's an A+ athlete playing the wrong position.
