What exactly is he doing wrong?
Isn't Rex a dog's name? ...I can't help myself, questions appear and I need to ask.... bad blitz  |
Always with the dog jokes...lol
IMO, he's throwing INT's because he's trying to win the game with one play. He's not checking down, mainly. Seems to me like he looks downfield FIRST, THEN comes back up to the shorter routes( there's a couple of great write-ups on Rex at our site if you wanna check 'em out).
Personally, the turnovers are killing me. I get cramps when he throws more than 10 yards downfield. I run for cover when 3 or 4 seconds go by, and he still has the ball. Seems like I'm always waiting for the next bad thing to happen!
BUT! I know what I saw at the beginning of the season. A young QB with a rocket arm, a great touch on the long ball, and HUGE potential. I believe we are seeing growing pains here. Do I think he should've been taken out of a couple games and calmed down? Absolutely. Do I think he should be benched in favor of Griese? No. Rex shown TONS of growth potential and I think quitting on him now would be a bad idea. Plus, the superstitious side of me says if we have TEN WINS with him at QB, DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING.
In the meantime, I put my faith in the coaches decisions and the player's abilities, root my team as I always have, and hope for the best!
