Firstly - there were multiple threads here about those things long before you showed up. That's not you being right, that's you being obvious. EVERYONE ALREADY KNEW THIS STUFF. You should really make an effort to understand the difference between being right and being obvious because it's making you look like a blathering fool. 

Secondly - with those three things listed above - most of the QBs in the "trained monkey" tier of the NFL should indeed be able to "get by." 



I've advocated signing the option and drafting a guy as well, so I'm clearly not giving up on him entirely. He's just got more improving to do. That's it. Very simple.

Alright.....in all fairness you could do that for more than 75% of QBs even the elite ones.  The man doesnt throw for most of the game and when he keeps drives alive it's Meh, any QB could do that and when he fails he sucks.  Pick a side and stop playing on the fence to look good to both sides.  We run run run run then pass and then Wrs drop the ball more often than not but it's not them its him.  He is suppose to overcome bad drops, bad playcalling, and also hate the good plays unless it' the last gw drive, and focus only on improving the bad play/read results when its a working pass play but he actually makes an error.   I see why coaches tell players to ignore the fans unless it' signing autographs or doing fan question segments on shows lmao

Point by point.  He doesn't throw in much of the game (some weeks)  because they are intentionally mitigating his mistakes by running the ball more. Nothing shameful in that. Throwing is always more of a risk to any offense. 

When he keeps drives alive I don't call it "meh."  I give props fairly often. 
The lone scoring drive by the offense vs the bolts was a great one by Blake and by Marqise Lee. They finally looked in sync and they marched down and got 8 points. 

The drops this year have been miserably bad and Blake's stats have suffered and drives have stalled. I'm not ignoring that. 

All I'm saying is he's not consistent enough with good decision making  (and to a lesser degree his accuracy) to make me feel confident about him long term. I hope he gets it together  -- I'm just skeptical. If that make me a bad fan, so be it.
