Quote:we haven't had hardly any good players on the entire offense over the years... but you have to admit the "receivers aren't getting open" excuse is pretty common.

 

meanwhile, if you watch a QB like Rivers, he will throw a guy open.  DEfenders will be draped all over a receiver in 1 v 1 coverage and he makes the throw.

 

if a nerd was watching all-22 where the QB held the ball on a similar play and got sacked they would say, "look here the tape doesn't lie, nobody is open"

 

 

Sadly, it's common that the receivers did not get open.

 

I do not deny Rivers is a better QB than any we've had since Brunell, but let's face it, Vincent Jackson is better than any Jaguars WR we've had since Jimmy Smith...and for that matter, Antonio Gates is better than any TE we've had, period.

 

I look forward to Bortles being in the starting lineup though, to see him "throw receivers open."  Some of his throws this preseason were amazing.
