Marvin said no timeout because he wanted to see if AJM could get the team lined up and spike the ball in a pinch
Marvin turned the entire 2 minute drill over to AJM and the young QB got caught up it the moment. Once AJM failed to call the TO; Marvin called it and took the opportunity to mentor his young QB.
These are just a couple, but those that have already formed an opinion based on their bias will roll with what they want to be right.
Would not consider a 27 year old QB as young. Unless he is going to have a Tom Brady career.
But probably not Brady like if he is learning how to line offense up and spike the ball "in pinch" at this juncture of his career.
This is not his first rodeo. Do not dislike AJM just wish we would make a decision on QB (him or Dalton) and trade the other for much needed help. We have watched many of very talented players walk lately and could use more depth.
Before you point out that he is depth, would add that I think Driskell is a fine back up and obviously the coaches like him as well carrying him on 53 last year. Marvin rarely does that and he is NFL young at age of 24.
Yet do agree with you that most of us may be overreacting. But we will know soon enough because the season is almost upon us.
