On the Trevor part, he wasn't ready to lead a pass heavy offense the first half of the season and a huge reason why we only had 2 wins in the first 8 games.  We would have a higher seed right now if we ran in a lot of situations early on when we should have.   Now he is ready!   I don't feel like going to find all your post claiming we should have ran more earlier in the season in a number of games.  That genius 4th and 1 run Sat. is a play Doug would have passed earlier in the season, he was still figuring this team out early on as was Trevor learning Dougs system.  Like the post said, if we were a run first team until Trevor figured it out we would have at least 3 more wins right now.  Dougs pay calling gave a few games away earlier in the year.  He was still figuring his team out and the players were still learning the system

And how do you think he figured it out genius?

You take those lumps and you learn from them. By Doug allowing Trevor to throw all day, it instilled confidence in him. If they would have made him a game manager, that would have been Doug essentially saying they don’t trust him.

Yup Doug said so himself early on in the year. Can't remember which week exactly, but I wanna say week 5 or 6 or around there. Thinking maybe after the texans loss.

Reporters asked him if he had thoughts/plans to go more run heavy on Offense and he shut that down real fast. He said that in the future, this is how they'll want Trevor to run the Offense (pass first) and in order to do that correctly in the future, they have to do it/learn it right now. You deal with the growing pains along the way. Can't learn it if you don't do it. Can't correct the mistakes if you don't have a chance to make them in the first place.
