Quote:Cool, but it'll be a fluke from garbage time. Blake can't win us games, as seen today.

Blake shouldn't regularly be in a position at this stage in his career where he has to win games for us. This is the fundamental issue I take with your statement.


I get where you're coming from though. I just don't think it's quite so cut and dry. We need to remember that he's still basically a kid and, right now, his confidence is in the toilet. Not to absolve him of his shoddy play of late buy I lay the majority of the blame at the feet of the coaching staff.


It seems like right now, he is being coached to play counter to his nature and it's having and overall, adverse affect on his game in totality. When he took that last sack, I was screaming for him to just take off, pick up positive yardage and get out of bounds. Instead, he goes all Keystone Cops trying to make something out of nothing...again.


Why was that? I dunno but the way he's playing here lately just doesn't feel "right" to me and I'm not talking about his wonky mechanics nor anything of that nature. It's in his head and he's going to have to play through this if he's going to come out on the other side.


Now, we as fans can be angry about the results on the field but you kind of have to treat this whole thing like you would your children as they mature. You know they're going to dumb <expletive>. You hate it. You try and protect your children from it but you ultimately, you can't but don't turn your backs on them.
