Quote:Agreed. It was a great game in terms of sheer production, but he was getting beat up all day. The first INT was actually a great play by him just to get it out on time and on target, but it did have quite a bit of heat on it wherein the WR was only able to tip up for grabs. On the fumble he was being slammed by multiple defenders and never had a chance to tuck it or throw it. I have to think that most qbs in this league would have suffered a similar fate on that play. What irks me about that play was Parnell failing to recover it for the offense. He nearly had it. The final play looked like a panic throw as time was running out, but really that's what you call a garbage time INT. It was over by then.

 

We had just under a minute to go down field, down by less than a touchdown. That is far from a garbage time INT. That's a clutch-time INT. It was a stupid play, yet again by Blake at the most inopportune time. He had absolutely zero no business throwing that ball. For all the brilliance that he shows, and he does show that, time and time again he shows a penchant for making stupid decisions.

 

This isn't a matter of reading coverage incorrectly. This is just a flat out idiotic decision, similar to a defensive player hitting a quarterback that is sliding down. 

 

I expect this mistake from my QB in their first year, and only then a few times. But repeatedly, his rookie year and this year, he's made similar mistakes. And every time, we hear him talk about it on his press conference and say it was a "stupid mistake".

 

At some point, you would think he'd learn to stop making these "stupid mistake"
