i could be wrong but I think he went from having a lack of vet mentor and Coaching as a rookie to having too many people coaching him this year. He had his offseason QB coach, Downing, Hackett, Marrone, Orton. I think there was a ton of pressure on him, he was raw, and he was overthinking everything trying to be something he isn't. If he just went out there and played football without worrying about throwing a pick (like Bortles and Carr whose teams had little expectation) he might have done better overall. He isn't afforded the same learning curve as those guys because he was put on a team that wanted immediate results that it hadn't had in a decade and a half. It was like he was too afraid of losing the game to try to win the game.
I think you nailed it. Too many voices. Too high of expectations because the team was good enough to win. Too much fear of messing up. But can he learn to relax and be a natural thrower of the ball? The 14 year old gazillion dollar question.

I'd like to see EJ with better support in terms of coaching and OLine play, but having watched him since his FSU days, he just doesn't seem to have a natural talent for throwing an accurate ball. I really hope I'm wrong, and I love his intangibles, but I'm not encouraged. You keep hearing the term "mechanics" with EJ. My problem is he looks "mechanical" and not "natural". (Bonehead Winston on the other hand...)

Those deck chairs are a mess! Can someone give me a hand with those?

Tom Terrific will be benched when monkeys fly out of Belichick's butt
I look forward to the day, but I hope I don't ever see video of that!
TMZ is EVERYWHERE!

Yes,just needs to cut ties with Hackett.
Yep, then add to and coach up the OLine.
Oh, and a D. Brees or P. Manning type find might be helpful.
-
maybe depending on the HC coaching pool new ownership has to draw on.
That was my first thought. Another possibility is bringing in a stud OC being sufficient change while they continue to evaluate. (No idea who that would be, but I do know that's the absolute minimum change that has to be made.)
-
Some knee jerk reaction to do something for the sake of doing something would concern me far more than what we've seen. There is nothing that can be done today to fix this situation immediately. Until they prove otherwise, I'll trust them to take the right path.
-
not in 1,000,000 years
What about the year after that? Granted, he'd be toward the back end of his career....
-
Reminds me of when the narcs met Lynyrd Skynyrd's airplane when it landed and searched it.
Don't they need more than just "a good bet"?

Keep Whaley
Thanks, now I don't have to read on...
-
New situation. Darcy (or anyone else) being incompetent does not make Whaley incompetent. I like Whaley and hope he stays. (No, I'm not saying Whaley is perfect, and you can like or hate the Sammy trade, but we have more talent than we've had in years.) Start from scratch and make the right decisions.
-
I bet the Colts owner doesn't ride the team bus anymore.
(Jim Irsay's record of driving himself is sketchy at best, however.)
-
That would have been wild!! Those are two BIG personalities converging.
And the giant noggin won!
-
It's funny, I want a guy to coach the next generation of football, but I don't want a gimmicky type offense. It's hard for me to tell the difference. The wildcat was just silly to me, and I want to keep our QB healthy. I saw Russell Wilson run today, and he actually knew when and HOW to slide. EJ seemed to struggle with something that should be so easy. Did he never play little league? He looked like a giraffe trying to slide at times.
-
I was thinking Sumlin, but they give up soooo many points. Get (or keep) a good DC and I'd be OK with that. I'm just sick of wasting this talent.
-
Oh, his toughness was questioned. That's all we need to know. Now it makes sense. Has anyone ever questioned his craziness? We'd win with him, briefly, I think. But I'll pass for another option that offers the hope of scoring some points.
-
when did Harbaugh punch Kelly? Don't remember it, please explain, someone. Thanks
The best part is....HE BROKE HIS HAND!
(At least the way I remember it.)
-
For those who think the Bills job is unattractive to qualified coaches, I think that's pure silliness. We may need a QB, but otherwise have a TON of talent. OK, maybe a couple guards and a TE, but this team is loaded and ready to go given a fresh start.
-
Did someone miss Animal House? I was so un-sober Thursday I did not fully feel the pain, but I did feel a different pain.
-
Space? You mean we can't send CJ into the A gap on every first down? Are we allowed to deviate from our plan like that?
-
I voted Malzahn as my first choice, and Gruden is my last choice. With Malzahn I feel we might be ahead of the curve for a change. Gruden won in Tampa with Dungy's team beating his own playbook in the Super Bowl (stupid beyond imagination!). The players had issues with him and his ego was out of control. We would win with Harbaugh, but he'd wear thin in Buffalo like he has in SF.
-
Hogan had the right idea heading into the end zone. The Brown fumble bothered me, but I was even louder later in the game when he was running again with the ball away from his body. It was a nice run, but he was asking for a repeat. Learn from mistakes!
-
Mike Williams has actually had an outstanding season in the NFL. Has HAS done it. I don't know why he's not playing, but that's probably a good thing. I shouldn't know what's happening behind the scenes, that only happens on really horrible teams where people are whining and leaking things. I hope he finds a way to get back in good graces and shine.
-
Hogan just makes plays. No, he's not perfect, but he's been a pleasant surprise to me with his production so far. Combine his WR and ST contributions and you've got the kind of glue guy good teams need.
I see neither one of our guards are heading to the Pro Bowl
