The halfway point of an ugly season
Dick Grayson, sports reporter, Des Moines Register

At the halfway point, QB Dakota Corriveau has already thrown more interceptions than he did in all of last year's abysmal season.

Yes, the secondary isn't as dominant as it once was. Yes, the rushing game is historically, historically inept (two touchdowns in 8 games???). Yes, there are plenty of people calling for a coaching change.

But as popular as Corriveau is with the fans, his play on the field is another thing.

Once upon a time, the fate of the Dragons followed "The Captain." Now it follows young Corriveau. If he plays well, the pieces are in place such that this team could win. But he isn't playing well. The record shows it. Until he learns to protect the football, he won't have a lead to protect.

Coach, fix this. If you can't, I can't imagine how much more patience Jack Ledger will have for you.
