Message: [QUOTE="ImperialOrange, post: 133018, member: 362"] Short passes need to have zip, better receivers catch those consistantly. Better O line play = less pocket pressure. More time in the pocket = spotting more receivers. More time in the pocket allows you to step into throws instead of firing to where you think the WR will be. Faster WR's with more seperation give bigger windows to throw into so you can take some heat off them or a "go get it" WR allows QB's to throw to dangerous spots with confidence instead of trying for a perfect throw. Nassib, WR's, and O-line were all frusterating last year. If one of those improves, it makes the other 2 look better. Doesn't much matter which one but you can argue for or against any one you'd like depending on the point you want to make. End game, they all need to get better. We could've been 8-4 with better/different QB, WR/TE, or Oline play. We also could've been 3-9 with different options. The line wouldn't have blocked any better or worse for any of the other QB's last year. The WR's may have caught more or less. realistically, it's not a simple one person fix anyway you look at it. It's a rebuilding process and we are knee deep in it. The rest is all theory and some people spew it as facts. Not targetting you specifically, just in general. Charlie Loeb throws a great deep ball though so maybe he was the answer!? Kinder can run so maybe he's was the answer!? Hunt can run and throw maybe so maybe he was the answer?! Loeb likely would've got destroyed in the pocket, Kinder would've likely thrown alot more picks and fewer TD's, and Hunt wasn't ready since he didn't know the playbook yet. Who knows how well any of them will hold onto the ball when hit? Our best QB last season played QB for us last season. If the oline proves capable Nassib will have a good final year, then Loeb could do well as a one year starter, and then Hunt or Broyld from that point forward. If the oline is still suspect it'll likely be Nassib next year followed by Hunt or Broyld with no Loeb year in between. Or maybe we'll land a Bridgewater, or rent a Cam Newton in the mean time and then all bets are off. [/QUOTE]
