I'm not "blaming all these guys."  I merely speculated yet another theory that may have contributed to his issues.  I used the word "hunch." LOL.

Not sure how much more you want me to agree with you? 

 

My job involves performing on an instrument for large audiences and in recording studios under deadlines.  I had to hone a craft to become successful in my field. I actually did have 4 different teachers over 6 years that had varying methods. It set me back years in my development compared to colleagues of mine who had one really good teacher that helped them organize a concise technique.  Talent is a big part of the equation too, but a clear methodology aids in the fundamentals. I question him having that. 

 

Blaine Gabbert went through struggles and we changed OCs with him three times also. One of the things Caldwell talked about after Gabbert was that we didn't want to go through that with Blake. Yet, we did anyway. I think this speaks volumes.

 

We drafted a converted TE with a broken throwing mechanics who have little experience playing QB. Maybe his transition would have been better if we had an established QB ahead of him, an established OC and QB coach to teach him while he sits, a tremendous pass blocking OL in front of him when he did play, and other ideal scenarios around him.

 

Or maybe he's struggled because he's a converted TE with a broken throwing mechanics who have little experience playing QB.

 

Its like the girl asking "Honey, do these jeans make me look fat?"
