The play calling was 1 and 10 Fournette for 4 yards, 2 and 6 incomplete pass, 3 and 6 interception. You have to run again on second down. At that point. The kid can't throw twice in a row without a turn over. That's my point. I'm would think we are better off having a three and out then even attempt to pass the ball because he will turn the ball over. 

My gripe isn't that he can't play we all know that. We have to stop turning the ballover 2-4 times a game and that starts with limiting his passes attempts in general.

Yeah but the thing is, the only reason he had 34 attempts or even anything over 25 is because we were down 2 scores in the 2nd half.  They were limiting his attempts.  He only had 12 attempts in the 1st half.   Never throwing on 1st or 2nd isn't an option in pro football.  That doesn't mean that they shouldn't focus on the run early to setup 3rd and short, but you have to pass there occasionally.  You're trying to drive a square peg of a point through the round hole of reality here.

I personally understand that is not optional in pro football but there is no other option. Again if you turn the ball over 3 times agave you will lose. All the other stuff doesn't even matter. You turn the ballover three time and you lose. We have to figure out how not to turn the all over at a high rate and that starts by taking the ball out of Blakes hands. We do not have a pro qb so we cannot play pro ball, hence why we saw some option stuff last week. As long as Blake is here that is how we have to play. 

To me driving the square peg is continuing to give the ball to a turnover machine and telling him to go win the game. That hasn't worked since he got here. We haven't won more than 5 games since he's been here lol. Asking him to do anything will result in a loss. That to me is reality.
