[quote=Anonymous]He's a really good athlete and that served him well in a college system. The problem is that being a good athlete does not necessarily translate to being a good (or even serviceable) NFL quarterback. Great athleticism does not provide the skills you need to be a good NFL quarterback - reads, decision making, fundamentals (foot work, throwing motion).  He didn't have to do any of that to succeed in his college system and didn't develop those skills.  He got away with it for his rookie year because teams were figuring him out. Now they know how to defend against him and he lacks the fundamental skills to deal with it. Those skills are critical in the NFL and it is very difficult to develop them at the pro level when he's starting and poor decision making has led to injuries (making it even more difficult to develop). I never thought he was a NFL quarterback but the only way he'll pass for one is if the rest of the team is built around him to compensate for his flaws and that will never happen.  He hasn't been handled correctly either but at the end of the day I don't think that makes a difference in the result. [/quote]
