It's crazy to think we're playing with a QB that can't step back confidently and somehow expect to win, we can't put up a TD even. It's clear lol. It's super handicapping, it's like telling a basketball player you can only take wide open set shots, no dribbling no turnaround jumpers no moves. Yikes.
Imagine that being part of the protocol when you're playing, the doctors saying "avoid this". Even taking 250ms to process that instruction every play is hampering. If he's thinking about it and actively avoiding something it's taking more than that too lol.
I laughed watching Derrick Henry roll to the right, then jump pass for a TD, like he could have thrown for more yards than Burrow today if he was on our team.
They are trained to play with pain but I think the type of pain he's experienced with this is probably inconsistent (or it's consistent and he's lying to us lol) which is affecting his concentration.
Oh I agree. Every snap he takes he has to remind himself to avoid XY or Z. Definitely slows him down, both mentally and physically. I don’t think playing through this kind of protocol is conducive to winning, especially considering this offensive staff can’t seem to be creative with it or scheme/call plays to compensate for his limitations. At this point they seem to be using games as rehab and not caring if his movement or decisions suck. Not caring if it ends in an L. Which is a big shame. Embarrassing. If they’re gonna trot him out there to get reps they could at least figure out how to help make him make plays. Otherwise we’re just risking further injury for a loss and so they might as well sit him.
