Quote:I would think so. To the educated football fan , a good play isn't a 30 yard play down the field every time but just making sure you don't take negative yards. Even if it was 4 and 10 instead of 4 and 20 that's ten extra yards to help flip the field.


My concern isn't so much that he's taking sacks but the fact he isn't doing the simple things he is supposed to do such as make audible correctly, adjust the protection, gunshot reads etc.



I mentioned how different he looks between the preseason and now. He has less bounce in his stance, he's not looking of defenders or anything he was doing in the preseason. How is it possible for his play to regress like that? I understand it's not the preseason and Im not speaking on the production but he's not doing the same things he was right now.

 

I don't claim to know whether he is or he isn't just by watching on the TV, but the coaches say he's doing just these things very reliably.  His faults are that he is not athletic so he can't always escape pressure very quickly and there are some throws he simply can't make.  Sometimes his accuracy isn't always what it needs to be. But from a metal aspect everything I hear and read from people in a position to know, indicate he has this part of the game down pretty well.
