This is my special thread for people who know everything about football, and can't wait to share it on a message board. Fiz, KillerKat, GMan, etc..., are you ready? ;)

This is your scenario. You're STUCK with Jake. Period, end of discussion. No Moore, no Feeley, just Delhomme, ok? And you have the rest of our offense, including Jarrett, Moore, Barnidge, and the usual cast of characters.

So with Jake as your starting QB, and knowing that the line is coming together, and knowing what NFL defenses will do if you run 90% of the time, how do you get the offense rolling? What kind of plays do you call? How do you maximize the strengths of each offensive player and how do you hide their weaknesses?

And if it's different than what you see on the field, why do you think that is?

Probably limit Jake to short slants, screens, no throws over 15 yards. Treat him like the Bucs and Ravens did with Trent Dilfer. They managed to get into the playoffs with a terrible QB, but it requires a defense that gives up less than 13 points a game.

Did you see the Atlanta game? Thats how. Fox (or Davidson whoever calls the shots) has to completely change the way they pass. No more of those deep prayer passes into double or triple coverage Jake just does not have the arm anymore. We basically have to adopt some type of WCO and rely more on the dink and dunk, 5 yards here 10 yards there, type of passes. And don't wait till were down by 14 to start passing. Running every down might work against the Bucs and may work against the Bills but when we have to meet the top D's in the league we will be shredded.

Fox has been relying on SS for far to long. We have TE's that are great at both Route Running and Catching use them. We have Dwill who is one of the most explosive players in the league get him the ball in space. Whether its screens, swings, line him up at WR, or how bout we try a shovel pass now and again. We have the tools to make the passing game at least good maybe not great, we just have to use them properly.

The problem with the short passing system is that it brings every defensive player up to the line of scrimmage, making running the ball even harder.

We simply HAVE to have a downfield threat to prevent them from over loading on the run.

Joey Galloway? :gnorsi:

Not if our defense can dominate. Many teams have won a superbowl with no real downfield threat.

      Sorsby and the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.

      I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.

      Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
