"Well it's pouring ran and we've had success with our power back running plays under center, guess it's time to switch to the pistol and put the scat back in"

These third down runs are going backwards

Its the short-yardage calls. You HAVE to be under center there. It makes no sense to force Chubba to get 6 yards to gain one yard.

All year long, we NEVER play action coming off of running the ball well. Short yardage, get Bryce out on the move. This poo shouldn’t be so hard.

If that's rpo, Bryce made the wrong choice

There was nothing either way. The D-end on that side didn't collapse toward the running back.

The CBS audio crew needs to figure out which hot mic is out in the rain and turn it off

Seems like they may have found it (nope, spoke too soon)

now they need to find that screaming woman and move her away from the broadcast. It’s not like there are a ton of fans left in the stadium right now, should be easy to track her down

If he cannot operate under center consistently then we are fuged.

We did it multiple times on the last drive and had success and moved the ball. Next drive we abandon it and get stuffed again. The coaches are absolutely braindead.

Throw in #9 and I'll trade you a plastic bag with a Tailer Swift fart in it I got off eBay.

Throw in a very good offensive line and you can keep the fart as a my gift to you...

He’s shown zero issues being under center. They just go away from it.

Arm strength is maybe his biggest overall problem.

When you don't have the arm you need to make the throws you make, it changes everything else.

It changes the plays you can call, it changes the throws he can even attempt to make and thus causes him to make poor decisions because he flat out doesn't have the ability to make a throw if he doesn't have a perfect base underneath him.

Because of that he always feels the need to pull the ball down and move in the pocket, which he also isn't fast or strong enough to do and it leads to sacks and throwaways.  Where in the same situation, 90% of the other QB's in this league can still attempt the throw because they have the arm strength to throw off base.

No, maybe they don't complete the passes every time (although they do at times), but they at least can attempt them, he flat out can't and it has a cascading affect on the rest of his play/decisions.

His footwork is a way bigger problem than his arm strength. I would probably guess that you aren't sharp enough to see that is leading to a lot of those issues you think are arm strength. His footwork is easily his biggest issue.

Don't get me wrong, he is not in the upper half of the NFL starters in arm strength. Probably bottom 5-10. Not enough of a problem to be the thing that causes most of his issues.

You’re right. Just feels like never.

I’ve held my piece on this QB.  It brings me no joy to say it, but he’s ngmi.
