Now look at them. Some of these old school defense-minded coaches just can't get the best out of QB's.

I live between St Louis and Nashville. I was still covering area sports during the Fisher-Young years. Good grief, I don't think he could've handled that situation any worse. And it was the first thing that came to mind with Marvin's recent handling of our WR selections.

Fisher wanted an old school, game managing QB who could throw medium passes, hand the ball off to a back and get teams to bite on play action. No scrambling, no big bombs, no extending the play. Hand it off or make a safe throw. 

I think Marvin does the same but with receivers. Or maybe it's just the way we've coached them the entire time he's been here that's led to many of them having similar problems.
