Nitro Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 5th game is 5th game. With very few exceptions, a rookie QB is gonna look like a rookie QB. I understand and accept that some people have no patience. I agree. Patience is needed. Give him pass plays that he will be successful with.
Fixxxer Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Do the Steelers have someone named Whimper? they have a Guy Whimper.

mjt328 Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 I think the downfall of this offense is the read-option. NFL defenses figured it out. Period. Not to mention that EJ is terrible at it. We've abandoned the read-option for the most part over the last couple weeks. EJ comes back and we are doing it again.
Max997 Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Steelers average 73 yards rushing a game and already have 83
voodoo poonani Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 they have a Guy Whimper. Wow, I'd have had that changed, but not to Hitner...
BRH Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Steelers average 73 yards rushing a game and already have 83 That happens when you give your offense the ball inside enemy territory twice and the offense gets three points out of it and forces you right back on the field again.

EJ isn't quick enough for the read option so running it with him is dumb to begin with Edited November 10, 2013 by Max997
Boatdrinks Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 A rookie QB should be able to complete basic passes Some are easier than others. Gotta be smart as an OC. The guy hasn't practiced in a month, much less played. Give him easy throws early, like in the flat to the RB's maybe a go route where it's take 5 steps and fire. get some confidence. Timing routes should be later after he's completed some balls.
Santana Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 I'm telling you. It seems like Hackett doesn't trust EJ. Rust or not. We have seen more exciting offenses from both Lewis and even Tuel. What's that about? You're 100% correct, I mean the guy isn't going to learn by handing the ball of 85 perce nt of the time. Hackett needs to mix it up and put the game in EJ's hands. If he's going to be our future QB he can't coddle him the whole way.
jimmy10 Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Hey, wow, they called a run on the first.....ZZZZzzzzz.....
voodoo poonani Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Ugh don't give Hackett credit for anything Rich
jimmy10 Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 Looked like Stevie spun his shoulder right out of the socket.
