What is wrong with Switzer?

the only thing I can imagine is he feared fumbling the wet ball and in that game situation it was better to give the ball to the offense and a running back. But heck you are a professional football player for goodness sake

Yep, and teams should stop blocking on punt returns too, and if a guy fair catches it we all call him a giant *****.

He probably saw the coverage or lack there of and decided not to take on 3+ tacklers without blockers. good call in my book.

I’d like to see it again to get the entire picture, but it looked like he had plenty of time to head towards the sidelines and pick up more yardage. He definitely stood there and took a knee all by himself.

I'm not sure exactly why he did it, but I didn't actually think it was too stupid given the game situation. Other players were definitely having trouble holding onto the ball returning kicks, catching the ball, intercepting the ball, and throwing the ball. A fumble there nearly loses the game.

For once I agreed with Dez's itching and moaning when he yelled at him coming out on the field!!

Anyone have a replay of this? Power went off here for much of the 2nd half.

They didn't adjust the coverage from an on side kick. I felt he could have gotten a few more yards, but I don't believe he wanted to risk the football or his life for an extra couple of yards.

Switzer is easily one of the more over hyped, overrated draft picks in a while. And for some of you guys to say he has first round talent, well he hasn't yet justified being a 4th round pick.

That's a fact. Cousins and Prescott were 4th rounders too. Switzer can't quite compare to them. I suspected he was overdrafted from day one. Now I know he was overdrafted. It isn't just the mental errors either. He's physically inadequate as well. It wasn't just he kneel down either. He got all turned around in the 3rd quarter and cost us about 15 yards when he let the ball go...wth kid? The guys that got out the annointing oil for him in here pre season were just...:facepalm:
