Could Rip Scherer be part of Jakes problem

First off, I am not a Jake apologist and and not looking for excuses. I realize that Jake's problems started last year against Arizona. But usually, Jake has a bad game and then bounces back after a game or two. Needless to say, there hasn't been any bounce back this year. And while Jake has never been a great QB, he has always been better than what we are seeing this year. So I got to thinking and am wondering if the new QB coach, Rip Scherer, could be part of the problem.

I looked up his numbers while in Cleveland. In the four years he was the QB coach, they threw 70 TD's to 82 INT's. Of course he didn't have the best talent to start with but still, 70 TDs to 82 INTS! And this was across all four years he was there. In fact, they threw more INTs than TD's in three of his four years. So, could Scherer be part of the problem with Jake this year? His QBs do have a history of being turnover prone.

Again, I am not looking for excuses...just wondering???

I still think Jake really started looking awful after his tommy john surgery. Quite sad too since right before he was injured he looked better than he ever has before.

Even last year he had his share of bad games.

Actually Jake wasn't too bad last year. He had the bad game against Tampa and Oakland throwing 7 INT in those two games. He only threw 12 INTs all year though which means he only threw 5 INT in the other 14 games. And how about those passes in the final seconds of the Chargers games, or against the Saints or his game against GB. I know Jake gets beat up all lot around here but you can't really say he had a bad year last year. You can say he had two bad games but two games do not make a year.

Finally some facts and actual information instead of the usual hysterical commentary. :hurray:

He isn't the one overthrowing, underthrowing, lame-duck throwing, and in general making poor choices/throws. He might not be helping a whole lot, but I wouldn't put much (if any) of the blame on him for the inept passing offense.

Isn't that kind of like saying Fox doesn't deserve any of the criticism for the teams poor play. After all, he's not making them miss blocks or tackles.

Look, all I am saying is maybe he came in and started changing Jake's mechanics or something. We all know they weren't great to start with. But as bad as they were, he was still able to connect with Smith almost at will. Now, there's nothing. It can't be the surgery because he was fine last year. The only other major change, other than age, is the QB coach.

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
