kota Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 The reason why Manning has done so well this year is because he calls the offensive plays. It was the same thing when Kelly ran the KGun offense. Manning has talent just like every other player in the NFL. He has a solid arm, and the intellegence needed to manage his offense. Manning himself has said that the reason why the offense is so explosive is because of this. Manning is the master of his offense but he it is more of a committee. In an interview he says his playmakers (Harrison, Stokley, James) give him a ton of input. Harrison will flat out tell peyton in the huddle that he can beat such and such player. I would be curious to see if Bledsoe would be able to call his own plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROCCEO Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Even GW didn't come up with that one. Bledsoe calling his own plays would make me sick to my stomach before every snap. I think drew does a lot better by being handed the ball and pointed ina certain direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John in VA Beach Posted January 4, 2005 Share Posted January 4, 2005 When the bills ran the hurry up in san fran, who called the plays? Did they come in from the bench? Regardless, you don't hand the keys for your car over to your kid unless they proove very compitnent. Manning is an offensive genius bledsoe really is not.

Doesn't it always work whenever Drew audibles out of a running play and into a pass??? I don't know what you're talking about, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kota Posted January 4, 2005 Author Share Posted January 4, 2005 I knew i would get some smart ass comments but Jim Kelly was at his best when he called the plays and it appears that Manning is as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John 192827[/snapback] A no huddle offense doesn't work if Bledsoe has to wait for the call from the sidelines. I am sure there is a set number of plays for DB to run if they are in no huddle mode. Bledsoe can read defenses 8 out of 10 times according to Sam Wyche. Personally, I think Bledsoe would xcel at calling his own plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
