I agree with this.. I'm sure this has created issues with his stance/view.

I agree also. I am wondering why would he have him at a disadvantage coming from under snap in a lower stance. That may take a precious second from him releasing the ball having to come out of the crouch position and then having to stand up at his height. It may not make a difference though. I am just wondering. I also see that they deployed the shot gun and it seem to work better. Why because he is standing straight up and doesn't have to fall into a upward stance. Which may be why he can't see his receivers as quick as he likes.

Another thing is. People quesion his intelligence. But it seems when they run the no huddle offense htis year and last year Jason does well.

I think Zorn should have practice having a quicker release more than a squatted stance for a guy show is 6'5. Makes no sense to me.. Especially when we have short receivers.

Someone made a good point about Collins and Brennan working with the second stringers in the preseason. They are taller than our starting receivers. But that is no excuse.

Zorn needs to work with what he has in JC. Also use his mobility. I thought mobility can be a strength in the WCO. But he is not rolling JC out as much and is making him too stationary. Its good to stay in the pocket. But when you have short receivers it might be better for him to roll out and use his talents. I recall JC running for several first downs when nothing was available. I dont think I have seen him run this whole preseaon or in the first game.

Just to make sure people don't misunderstand my previous post, I don't think that Jason's problem is intelligence. People process information in different ways. I think that Jason's comfort zone is in this processing of information, not reacting. Zorn's may have been just to react to outside stimulus. If this is true, they may never truly understand each other. With that said, I believe Jason can be a very effective NFL QB if the coaches recognize how he processes information.

The fact that he is more effective in the shotgun really supports what I'm saying. That very slight bit of extra processing time overcomes the fact the defense knows whats coming. If he wasn't smart, the defense would have the advantage. Stats show this isn't the case. He doesn't have to think about how many steps he is dropping back while wondering who is breaking through the line. He has the time to decipher and throw... and he completes the throws in spite of the fact the defense knows he is passing using this method. Conversely, when he is under duress, he either takes a sack (and fumbles) or runs. Moving him around in the pocket also helps him (more processing time) and he does well finding his third and fourth options in this situation.

Still, I stand by my assertion that the "elite" NFL QB has Jason's abilities along with the gift of making positive plays when faced with severe, unexpected pressure while under duress.
