@gips said:Nothing i can add that hasnt been said here i like DA but i dont think he was recieving the coaching he needs to be better i blame the coaches trying to save their jobs for his benching
While the coaching can always get better, I'll blame Ray Lewis, Ed Reed and Terrelle Suggs for scoring TDs on the strikes DA pitched them. Not only does DA throw alot of INTs but it seems like a high percentage of his go for TDs that KILL us in tight ball games.
DA has ALWAYS thrown alot of INTs regardles of the level or coaches. If you have more than 20 starts to your name - you shouldn't be looking MORE like a rookie than you did in starts number 4 and 5. How come Quinn knew enough not to throw any INTs in his first 8 quarters of starting? Did Quinn have better coaching in Cleveland than DA? No. It's the same staff. He's just more intelligent on the field and he looks alot more accurate.
When Edwards dropped 3 or 4 passes vrs Buffalo - I didn't panic nearly as much as i would have if he did this with DA because I knew all of the accurate throws weren't going to be used up. Turns out, Edwards had the most receptions he's had in any game this season even though he had the drops.
