Geno Smith's Arm Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I just realized, after hearing about how Peyton Manning is working with backup/new receivers, how the Bills WR's are missing out on the education that a really good QB imparts to his receivers. I believe that Lee Evans would just tear it up were he to go to the Colts. But all the WR's here have, is some guy trying to learn the playbook, that can't execute the plays in the playbook anyway. Yes, I know there are coaches to help them, but it's not the same as having the guy that enacts the play communicating the nuances of the plays from the QB's perspective. I don't care what people say about the O-line or defense. We need a good QB soon, and it will take some time for him to get good anyway. Let him sit a year (or two) and build the line during those years. They already have 2 decent rookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens more often is that they get used to QBs and get better that way. But neither thing generally happens from young QBs who have never found their way. Sure, we need a QB. For that reason, but more importantly because good QBs help teams get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Its not that the QB has to teach them much, its more that they need to work on timing and getting used to tendencies of their QB. One of the most important things for a QB and his WR to have is timing. Without it, you get overthrown balls, incorrect route running, dropped balls, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
