Bledsoe Throwing Too Hard?

[LarryCanadian]

I definitely don't think it's a case of Testaverdeitis where his arm is tired. In fact, I think the last 2 games he has been blistering it in there, particularly early in the game. The reason I mention this is that there have been far more dropsies (I counted about 5 that the receivers coulda/shoulda had, and a couple of more iffy ones from this last game). Yes, I think the accuracy is a bit worse in the passes lately, a bit behind or a bit too low in many cases, due mostly to being rushed because of massive pressure.

I just wondered if anyone thought that Bledsoe's passes were bouncing off fingers due to the velocity of late?!

I don't feel Bledsoe is the reason for offensive problems. It is the Oline. Like Parcells says, if you protect him and give him time he can make the throws. We are getting killed even in max protect with 3 or 4 guys rushing us, yeach!! Tough to find an open receiver when only 2 or 3 guys are running routes!

I think with the way the offensive line has been playing, you'd need someone more mobile at qb to get more production. As it stands, this is the worse possible scenario to get something out of Drew. He's very good when given protection. However, he is just as likely to be bad when not given protection. Unfortunately, we're seeing the latter...

I agree. Drew can be A rated with 4+ seconds, and F rated with 2- seconds. Most QBs are in the B to D range, with Drew it's a quick drop off. There were several plays that were shameful on the O-Line, and some by Drew, this team is not playoff ready. Hopefully they'll bounce back. It's a good chance for bashers to emerge. They've been somewhat repressed this season.

Everyone just "shut-up" if you are going to be critical of someone or something because you will be labled a basher and will quickly become the bashee.
