Evidence that people think he's a bust, not that he is one. 

Hows it laughable?

Your 3 or 4 friends represent the worlds population? Your friends at that, who probably wouldnt [BLEEP] talk your QB because, you know.. their your friends?

...youtube commenters reflect the opinions of most fans (outside of Duval, mind you)? Two way street with that one, chief.

And don't start spinning it, you cited it as evidence that MOST FANS think he's a bust. Not just "people".

It's just like the way you mischaracterized this board as predominantly casting him to be the savior, when we all wanted him because he was the most NFL ready of the bunch, not that he was some football deity sent to achieve perfection and bring eleventy billion Lombardis to Shad's trophy case. You blow things WAY out of proportion to support your position, and it ends up with everyone pointing and laughing at how foolish it makes you look, whether your argument has actual merit or not.

Sorry if that's harsh, but it's brutal honesty. You may have legit ideas, but the way you try to justify and promote those ideas leave them unpalatable.

While he’s got an extremely powerful arm, he can’t read defences to save himself, his footwork is atrocious (perhaps his strong arm handicapping foot development), he has poor pocket discipline and he has almost no ball-throwing finesse, ie soft passes and placement.  It’s possible that the new QB coach can pack TL full of wisdom that he has’t yet acquired.  And it’s further possible that the line might be able to give him half a beat more time, reducing his need to read plays and keep him from fleeing the pocket early with crazy feet.  But I don’t think so. I think his improvement in the fundamentals of QB skills will be marginal.

Here’s to hoping I’m wrong and seeing you all rub it in my face.  Good luck, Trev.

My take.  Let’s see if I’m proven wrong.  But I suspect we’ll be trading for a veteran to “mentor” TL before the Nov 1 trading deadline (week 8 is the last week to trade).

The veteran QB serving as mentor is our HC, bub. No trade necessary!
