i ate my crow a while back.

 

there's still that little matter of the wildcat.

 

that needs to stop.

 

why would we EVER need to run that play?

 

if we had an immobile QB...maybe i can see it. that just ain't even close to the case, tho.

 

someone needs to ask that in a press conference.

there are still shula plays that make me scratch my head.

 

Like when we ran an edge sweep to tolbert.

 

meh, pats had been stuffing the run all day... we caught them by surprise and got a critical first down.

 

a call is as good as its outcome IMO

Exactly.

 

No need to run the wildcat.  Our QB is as good a runner as our RB's.

We're running it for one very simple reason.

 

One game, when we really need it, we're going to throw cam the ball.

 

My money is on the 2nd saints game.

The one I'm thinking of went for a loss.  Tolbert ran the play straight toward the sideline and got gang tackled.

it could be said that we run the wildcat pretty much every time we have cam behind center.

 

the wildcat became obsolete when running QBs started being utilized more and came to the forefront.

 

the idea behind the wildcat was "how cool would it be to have an RB get a direct snap and no one know if he's going to throw it or run?" the RB rarely threw it so it was easy to diagnose and defend against.

 

the idea was good, though, so instead of having an RB who could hopefully throw the ball, they decided on a QB who could run.

I think he is talking about the play where Tolbert ran all the way to the outside and didn't even get turned upfield before getting tackled for a 2 yard loss.

I didn't get it at all.

The thing is, who is going to make that pass?

 

When Armanti was on the roster I could see this being the case.  But without the 2013 Training Camp MVP™ on the roster, who's supposed to make that throw?

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
