who also happens to hate his QB.

This season has been very frustrating to say the least, and by all counts I'm not a Doug fan but the weird disconnected between the coach and QB is a worrisome. These coaches (whether we are a fan of them or not) see these players six days a week of the entire football season, so they have a better understanding of their abilities than we fans do because we don't really see them practice each week, like coaches do, we just sit back and analyze each play call (bad or good) and criticize it after that. So what I really want to know is if Doug changed his opinion on Trevor being a franchise QB or not,  if yes, what are the things Doug is seeing that Trevor isn't able to do? Or what is Trevor seeing that he doesnt agree with? After all Doug is touted to be an offensive guru and a "QB whisperer" (and he knows more than anyone on this forum or any other fan forums), and I'm assuming like any HC would, is that they sit on the film room every week and share ideas on what they like or do not like week in and out. So where is the disconnect? 

Maybe were reading into this too much but Trevor facial expression on the field is also a concern. He doesn't seem to be a guy that can motivate these players even in tough situations and doesnt have an energizer bunny personality. He is also having his head down when they go 3 and out and I never see him hold players accountable like I see Mahomes, Herbert, Burrow. He needs to step up and be a fearless leader and get into these guys sometimes and maybe Doug doesnt see that in him. I'm not sure what it is but its definitely a head scratcher.
