Quote:I think there needs to be a focus on balance and then through out the game an adjustment is made towards the stronger of the two. I personally am not to frustrated with Blake (although only scoring 9 points is on the qb) because he is not a finished product. Can he play yes but he is still not even fully technically sound to expect full consistency from him. He will have lapses in his ability and that why I put a focus on the coaching, offensively in particular. When you see you passing game struggling and your running game flourishing, to me it makes sense to run the ball more. That may in turn have helped the pass offense get on track.

The thing is, we should probably start seeing the results soon though. We knew Matt Ryan, wilson, and Luck were going to be good after year 1. Dalton too. Maybe im mistaken, but nick foles was in his second year when he started showing promise, right? Same with kaepernick, brady, manning, tannehill, flacco. rivers showed promise his first year starting. I'm sure there are others.


My point is, the good quarterbacks in todays NFL generally have had a good season in their first 2 years. I look at this as make or break for him as much as for Gus because of that.
