Quote:I think the best thing for Blake is a run game that sets up play action on intermediate routes downfield.

Not a spread that requires accuracy on short timing routes.

His accuracy on such passes has always been poor and I predict he'd struggle early on and leave his defense on the field far too long.


How many times in three years have you seen Blake's timing and placement on a simple swing pass leave the RB or receiver in poor position to gain yardage? It's an alarmingly high number to be considering an offense predicated on lots of quick horizontal passes.


If they are bringing in Kelly and not adjusting his scheme significantly, I don't think it bodes well for Blake at all.

As one of Blakes harshest critics this past season, I just have a feeling hes going to (successfully) overhaul his mechanics this off season, which will lead to improved accuracy at all levels of the field. I think this past year really stung him and he'll do whatever it takes to become a viable starting QB this level. Also, while accuracy is important in any scheme, the WR's in Chips scheme are often wide open due to the effectiveness of the run game, tempo, and overall deception of the offense, I don't think we'all see too many "tight window" type throws, i think Blake (assuming he's able to overall his mechanics) is a nice fit for this system.
