Before his injury, he was in the top 10 for QBR, Adjusted EPA, Touchdown Passes, Passing Yards, Passing First Downs and Yards/Completion.

All while being at the top of the list in drops, an OL that was up and down and a Run game that was non existent for the most part.

As well as having a Defense that ranked in the bottom of the league in basically every stat.

I think you need to start strongly considering the likelihood that Trevor isn't as good as you think he is and the coaching staff already knows this. Everything about their body language, press conference responses, and offensive scheme says as much.

Ask yourself this, why don't we work the middle of the field? Because they don't trust Trevor's inaccuracy and overthrows. That's why we work the sidelines so much.  Doug has been critical of Trevor going back to last year. Compare that to how he talks about the O-line. Remember the games last year where Trevor threw those horrible passes in the endzone, one which was picked and several which should have been and he got lucky? And the fumbles. Jfc the fumbles.

I think this coaching staff sees Trevor every day, and has to limit their playbook based on his deficiencies, but of course they can't say that. So the offense has to scheme around a bad O-line and a QB that makes bad decisions and has poor accuracy at times. We need to stop saying "Press/Trent/Doug bad, Trevor good" and maybe start considering that Trevor isn't the guy either.

Well one good reason they restrict passing in the middle is the rush normally is coming up the middle and a tipped ball over the middle is trouble with a capital T. We have seen all QB's good, bad or ugly not have a lot of success when the defense speeds up their internal clock. Brady, Manning(s) all of them are the same way. Now is Trevor good? We will find out as the seasons progress. He is going to be here whether we are or not. So you can gripe all you want. I have been a season ticket holder since the beginning. I go to the games and think he is the best we have had in a long time.

I understand your opinion we all have one. Mine is when everything is rolling Doug's offense will average 21-22 points per game. That is good for 16th-20th in the league. Currently we are at 26th averaging 18.  There are many issues causing this under performance by players and coaches. The QB while contributing is far from the biggest issue.
