Fair points. We've all seen Andy miss plenty of wide open receivers in big games that had nothing to do with a collapsing Olinr or bad playcalling. Just straight up missed the throw, didn't see them open or panicked and chucked it out of bounds. All before this and last years Oline ruined the offense. Certainly not encouraging to see.
Precisely why I think it would be wise to take a QB early.
I'm not ready to give up on Andy just yet, but he's 30 years old now and will have what, 2 years left on his contract? If he continues his personal struggles in big games with a new coach, we'll have a young up and comer waiting in the wings.
Though again, I really believe a huge part of Andys struggles stem from Marvin Lewis' loser mentality.
