Brady was pretty rusty after his year out. Carson Palmer is a damn good QB but he was pretty bad for a year or two after the surgery.

It's obvious he is.

There is no other doubt that the guy who played in 2012 is in there somewhere because he was making these reads in 2013 as well.

Maybe it's as simple as... It's only been 12Q in this offense.

Jay even said he looks good in practice.. I'm not sure what is holding him back during the games.

Cooley's piece was really good. But when I read that part, I wasn't sure he had a good bead on it.

Griff definitely is unsure of himself, holding the ball way too long.

I'm thinking if he feared the contact though, he'd be letting the ball fly much earlier, not holding it longer....he'd also bail the pocket much faster, not stand there like a statue.

IDK for sure...just hope the light goes on for the kid before too long.

Hail!

Good point. I dont think its anything other than he simply doesnt transfer what he learns into game situations. He certainly isnt the first and certainly wont be the last.
Its just amplified with us because we were in search of a franchise qb forever, and he was a high pick that we gave up a kings ransom for. If Brady hadnt worked out for the Pats because he couldnt "get it" nobody would have cared. Same can be said for countless others. Even Heath Shuler wasnt as big of a story because we werent so far removed from success.
The Skins drafting RG-3 was the epitome of the "all in for the savior of a down and out franchise".

Freezing is a much more common reaction to fear than trying to place oneself out of danger.

IMO It's a lack of trust on the team as a whole, they don't trust the man next to them to do their job. How do you coach trust?

early scouting reports seem to have him as an NFL ready qb with a lot of upside .... if we draft him i will turn to the purple and black in a heart beat and not look back.

i believe cosell. he was on espn radio the other day .. sd winston is nfl ready, can make reads, move in the pocket and can back peddle to buy a little more time but still throw a 35 yard strike.

sd it is rare for a QB to be able to back peddle and still have flawless mechanics. sd only rogers can do it now, peyton used to be able to but cant any more.

dont hold me to it being cosell but it was someone i respect.

There's a big difference between "allegations" and the truth. The evidence suggests no crime was committed and the accuser flat out lied about several things.
