mitchmurraydowntown Posted January 25, 2013 Posted January 25, 2013 I have went back over the past several years to review stats on JP Losman / Trent Edwards / Ryan Fitz (Tri-Fegals) & have been shocked to see a consistent trait, a failure to recognize failure. Our management & coaches have held on to hopes of these guys playing better, when their best play was against the worst teams. Only on a handful of occasions did our QB's have any decent level of success against a top 5 secondary defenses, it is almost like a slaughter to have even allowed these 3 to pass the ball at all. Our recent coaching has consistently had good running backs in Travis Henry, Marshawn Lynch, Fred Jackson & CJ Spiller yet failed to utilize them to assist our weak QB's. It's almost like we wanted to show that we could succeed in an area that we just couldn't, passing against good defenses. I'm all for going against the grain & trying to change up game plans but allowing the Tri-Fegals to throw in any fashion against a decent defense was just madness. CJ Spiller had an amazing YPC average that was completely ignored this past season in an attempt to show the Fitz could pass, it didn't come to pass. How many yards did we leave on the field trying to press our weakest position ? Why wasn't there adjustments made to allow our strengths to be utilized ?? If a QB can't compete against anyone but the worst teams, how are they expected to succeed even if we did somehow make the playoffs ??
BringBackFergy Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 I can't understand why they were failures....I mean, we had David Lee last year. I agree with your post. We are in dire need of a rookie QB with good solid skills who is coachable.
White Linen Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 But they have recognized failing QB's and moved on to find another one.
PearlHowardman Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 We are in dire need of a rookie QB with good solid skills who is coachable. You're talking about SU Orange QB Ryan Nassib!
VADC Bills Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 You're talking about SU Orange QB Ryan Nassib! After seeing Nassib in the Senior Bowl, he was totally unimpressive. Arguably the worst QB that was on either roster. He was very Trent Edwards-ish. I don't see him going in the first 3 rounds.
