When you look at the film more likely than not guys are not open and guys are continually missing their assignments, running the wrong routes and Watson is adjusting trying to be hero. If he just throws it away all those plays instead of taking sacks we would just have an abundance of more 3 and outs. To answer your question I thought so. I thought this offense was suppose to be innovative and the QB had control. I see vanilla BS.
my understanding is that the WRs are also tasked with a ton of read and recognition stuff and have to be on the same page with QB on those precise reads. Too much thinking going on and not enough playing.
He's been in the league this long and still doesn't know when to throw the ball away and when to tuck and run? That's on the staff.
JAG. Just a guy. Just another guy. Couldn't differentiate him from O'Brien's previous QBs: Hoyer, Fitzpatrick, Osweiler, [Keenum, Mallett, Savage, Yates, Weeden]
Similar to Carson Wentz at this point. Physical talent and great start to career but for whatever reason is regressing.
I mean I do to a certain point. I don’t get why there’s so many excuse for Watson either though. Rodgers has had some terrible teams and always made players around him better.
I agree. I'll admit I just want to blame BoB. I have a hard time though thinking BoB's not holding him back or got in his head.
Wouldn't put to much into that. His comments post game reassured that, nothing can take away his smile though some can see that as being content. 1st half he looked like Wild Thing Vince Vaughn, second half he was 10 points from a perfect QB rating. I like to think Dhop snatches that 3rd touchdown tip toes and goes out of bounds thus not allowing the ground to play a role in that stupid catch rule. We've known that about Watson, that he can be cold for 2 quarters and then pull of the magic. But magic isn't a system or scheme. Losing can be contagious so I'm glad he has a relaxed attitude to not take everything to heart...except on twitter. I was Ok with running the ball in the last series, I like them going Clemson offense to get 4 in a groove but situations like the last series you would think your $11 million dollar rb could get in the end zone Pretty much every analyst or commentator sees the problem except the guys running the team. B.O.B has shown he can adapt to a QB what that QB is comfortable with but stubbornness eventually boils over teapot.
Fitzie being in there ahead of Brees and the second behind Brady loses credibility but it does show one thing I've noticed. Even the less talented quarterbacks feel comfortable in their teams' systems while Deshaun looks like he's going through the motions.
Just trade him to Miami for Tua and our first and second round picks back. Trade JJ to Pittsburgh and let him play with his brothers. They both deserve better than this dumpster fire.
I don't want to take any blame away from Deshaun (because he clearly deserves it), but it seems like he's just incredibly unsure of where to look for open receivers in this system. He holds onto it because his safety valves are NEVER where they need to be for him to have an outlet pass. The play design either has them on the other side of the field, or running across his face in the middle of traffic. Now obviously some of that falls onto Deshaun's shoulders for not scrambling in a way that lets that outlet be available, but I still say most of it is on BOB for not knowing how to design plays that allow his QB to thrive.
Is there some stat/metric that determines how many throws a QB makes under pressure and to which receiver? Like a "safety valve" stat.
