They dumbed the playbook down and just asked him not to turn the ball over. They never asked him to win games like Tom does every single week.

To me that was the mistake. Yes they dumbed it down to avoid mistakes. But what they should have done is designed it from the beginning to fit what Blake does best. Read Option is where Blake shines. They should have had more of that in the play calling.

Blake could not correct his mechanics, last year he reverted back to his drop the ball low windup.  As a result, the ball came out slower and his accuracy was diminished. He could never maintain a level of accuracy required to be effective. He had some great games but they were too few and far apart to hold the starting position.  So I don't believe any game plan could save his job. As a person he was a Hall of Famer, as a player he is at best a backup.
