Also, at some point you have to just decide you are going to play the game and throw the ball. If you aren’t when down several scores in the second half, I don’t know what to say
When he took the sack on 3rd and 15 down 30 points instead of heaving it down field for whatever may happen— that was his Kyle Orton slide short of the sticks, his Edwards run out of bounds on 4th moment...
he showed no fire or or situational awareness.
That the game got out of hand only makes his stat line all the more baffling. Qbs rack up trash yards in a route. I would’ve rather seen 250 yards and 3 ints trying to get in the game again than whatever we just watched. Down 30 playing ball control keep it close and try not to make a mistake football is a joke
Until he’s doing it with cam Jordan bearing down on him and into a tight window against lattimore... you may as well be looking at practice or preseason. There was also no situational pressure.
Top ten isn’t a tank. To get the top qb from picks 8-10 takes all those extra picks. We look to have both gutted our young talent and played our way into having to choose between replacing those guys in the draft or actually getting our choice of qb.
Literally anything decisive is better than the sack. Heave it 50 yards blindfolded and pray is a better strategy on 3rd and Long facing that blitz at this point. Taking the sack is unacceptable
No pass rush and no deep threat will not allow you to win against good teams consistently, unfortunately. You can steal games occasionally but it’s just not going to happen week in and week out.
I mean, at least give him some space and do it deeper instead of inside if putting him 1-1 with the DE. Lucky that wasn’t a fumble or such if the exchange wasn’t perfect.
That was a “saints-y” play. Running well, get to the red zone and let your backup TE fumble it away. It’s a classic way they shoot themselves in the foot the last several years.
