Quote:I don't understand why you're so hell bent that there was a chance he could throw a pick 6. There was a chance Gerhart could have fumbled and it was returned for a td. There was a chance Wiz snapped it over Blake's head and it was returned for a TD.


After 3 failed attempts, try something else. You're argument that he could turn it over would also say he shouldn't have been orchestrating the game winning drive either.


If you're worried that your 3rd overall, franchise QB MIGHT throw a pick in the RZ, then you have the wrong QB. If Blake is the guy we all believe he is/can be. Then there's no excuse for not giving him the opportunity to score.

This is not an indictment of Blake, it's an indictment of his youth. Any of the things you mention can happen. I'm not saying he chose the perfect call in that situation. What I'm saying is given Blake's penchant for turnovers, it's easy to see why they ran it again. It is especially clear when viewed from the lense of only having to gain a yard from the goalline. Better coaches, with better qb's have made the same decision with the same result. It's OK not to agree with the call, but to not grasp why he made that call.
