Quote:Your in the shotgun and within 2 seconds you have a dirty pocket with the defense closing on you fast.  You revert to your baseline mechanics.  In this case there is a bit of a hitch and the other team is having a field day.  On some of those outs he doesn't have snap on the ball and the routes are getting jumped big time.

 

Offensive coaching staff needs to mix in some roll outs and figure out some wrinkles.  We are far enough along this season that the tape is fully digested and the other team's plans are negating us some.

 

BB has been pummeled a bit the last few weeks and I'm betting he has some pain issues going.  Sure he isn't on the injury report but at this point the season grind is breaking through the improved mechanics.

 

Which is the same thing that happened last season. By the time the year ended (and apparently he had some injuries), his mechanics was shot. That said, I don't think it was THAT bad yesterday. There were a handful that stood out because they replayed it, but there were a few tough passes he made that were textbook also.

 

More concerning for me, is yet again Blake shows a penchant for terrible decision making in the clutch. He really should have had two game-ending INTs (one that ARob had to defend, the other the guy just dropped).

 

After last week, you'd think he'd have a better regard for the ball with the game on the line. But as much plays he makes, this is becoming a trend for him and it might be what keeps him from being a "great" QB. He'll be good enough of course, just never elite. Think along the lines of Jay Cutler, Stafford, etc.
