What is really our problem?

Look at all these other young QBs out there. Gabbert, McCoy, Bradford..Hell even Chase Daniels from MU went 9-18 191 yds, 2tds. You mean to tell me that every one of our QBs just suck? I believe Cam AND Clausen could be just as good as any one of these young QBs in the league. We need to quit focusing on the QBs looking like poo. Ok, probably a BS post. I have been up since 2 AM working on an fugging firewall issue that has about 1200 users stranded.

most teams that get a new staff and install a new offensive scheme look like crap heading into a season........and we got less time to install ours than traditionally teams have.

That is the biggest reason.

2nd reason.......a flaw left over from Fox. Passing league and our "great OL" is built to be a great run blocking team not a great pass blocking team.

Our lines on both sides simply aren't that good. That is a bigger flaw than Cam

Our RT spot has been a MAJOR issue since Otah went down, that is extended to RG now Schwartz is down.

One thing about our OLine though, is when was the last time we had all our guys healthy for most of the season?!

even when Otah comes back......pass blocking isn't his specialty. He is a beast of a run blocker.

Team was built to play the style of football played 20 years ago under Fox. No young QB is going to succeed until the OL upfront can give standard NFL pass protection. A QB like Cam is the only one who has a shot at having decent success....but his passing isn't going to drastically improve until he can be given more opportunites to sit back and make some throws w/o defenders impacting the overwhelming majority of attempts.

1. We aren't very talented at two very important important areas.

O line and D Line.

2. We aren't nearly at "talented" as a football team as many fans (especially on here) would like to believe.

3. Our biggest "pools" of talent are at positions that aren't very important as far as winning games consistently as some other positions. (RB and LB, as opposed to QB and DL)

Gabbert...Really?

I read this on another site

To tight ends he is 12 of 17. He has chucked more than a few bombs to Greg Olsen and the two have connected for some astonishing plays. To wide receivers he’s 4 of 26. WTF.

If it's truthful then maybe one of u couch coaches or experts can explain why Cam throws to the tight end is way better than the WRs? Maybe there lies one of the major problems.

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
