Quote:1. An elongated throwing motion with a hitch in the delivery isn't a "typical" rookie flaw, how many rookies come out of college throwing a football like a baseball? The only typical about his rookie struggles was ability (or lack thereof) of reading coverage's

 

 

2. He undoubtedly showed great improvement as a sophomore, aided by a vertical passing attack that masked the elongated throwing motion.

 

 

3. He's regressed in fundamentals, accuracy, situational football, and the ability to accurately read coverage, it's more than just a "typical" 3rd year regression. 


 

The fact of the matter is this offense is no longer sneaking up on opposing defenses, teams are playing their safeties back while funneling coverage over to A-Robs side of the field, effectively taking the "50-50" balls away. 

 

All of the bolded is overstatement of the facts.  His accuracy has affected the 50/50 balls more than the safety coverage.  It's not defenses "figuring out Blake's whole game."  It's Blake individually screwing up. He can fix that.

 And no one ever called his regression this season "typical." 

It's not. He's going to require no small amount of help getting his game together properly.  I just happen to think it's do-able. 

 

Now - if a new coach doesn't see him as fixable, then you let the GM find another QB.  Firing the GM because a really promising player didn't quite work out would be a dumb move IMO.  Blake's current setback doesn't add up to a change at GM.
