Quote:A Buerlein comparison....phenomenal.


He is the closest thing we've had to a franchise qb since Brunell, and in my opinion, Brunell was a system qb and the players around him made him look better than he was. I think Blake makes the players around him look better. No running game, terrible offensive line, but pretty good receivers and they work well together. To not give him credit where credit is due is pretty unfair. A second year qb breaking a 20 year franchise record is still impressive, regardless of your opinion.

The argument that his interceptions come because he throws 40+ passes a game can be said about his other statistics too. I like Blake and hope he is that guy for us. I just see a lot of silly mistakes happening that have to be worked out. We've lost many games because of crucial mistakes he has made. We've also won some games because of plays he's made and I understand that. Hopefully we see even more growth from Blake next year. Having a more potent run game will take the pressure off Blake and allow him to make better passes.
