i agree witcha mark.
i've said it a zillion times, but i'll say it again...but first, let me repeat my disclaimer:
if there was any player that i wish i could see be whoppingly successful, it's DB.
There.
Drew can't take this team to the playoffs. And even if we were able to eke our way into a wildcard, there's no way DB makes enough plays to win the game. You can say what you want, but when this season's over and you have another 16 games to behold, you won't be in a denying mood anymore.
I wish it wasn't true, but it's true: Drew can make something out of nothing. He doesn't have the ability to make a magic play appear out of a broken mess. If you watch these games closely, you see offensive plays breaking down all the time, in every damn series. Watch a weekend of football and you'll see QBs do things that Drew simply cannot do. Those moments where we need magic won't be positive plays. they'll be negative plays.
He's too easy to defend because there are too many things he can't do. For chrissake, the one thing he's supposed to be great at he hasn't done in how long? when was the last time he put a long ball in the absolute perfect spot? More importantly, WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME HE BEAT A BLITZ?
by now, we should be begging teams to blitz us. it leaves open one of our very talented WRs, or at least a TE or WR underneath. In two games Drew has thrown two completions on a blitz, not counting lateral dump offs for small gains.
That won't get it done.
