If you don't think having zero running game and protection issues are effecting his performance than you should probably stop watching football today. Teams are able to stop our running game in their nickel defense with ease, and at the same time put heavy pressure on the quarterback. He's no where near perfect this year, but there's lots of blame to go around.

I've watched and played a ton of football in my lifetime, thank you. I very much understand how defenses stack and leverage against your weaknesses run v pass. But I've also clearly seen defenses not respecting our pass which has impacted our run too. Any objective person would say they've seen Blake under perform when given time and open receivers, too often. Nobody's perfect, even the best, but there's a disturbing frequency and trend here and it's related to throwing flaws that have been there all along. What surprised me more frankly was his game flaws, staring down receivers and some outright head scratcher bad decisions, both when under pressure and not.
