Lots of stuff about patience and starts and whatnot. I get it, one wants to be fair and we're not particularly level headed about this stuff. The Rickie situation is not beyond repair.

That said, it's not the overall performance that concerns me personally. I instruct and coach aspiring racing drivers and I can usually tell pretty quick who 'has it' and who doesn't. It's not particularly important how fast they're driving when they're learning--it's how fast they learn.

I see a lot of parallels. Steve made mistakes, fixed them, and moved on. His skillset had a great trajectory. Rickie's made mistakes, apparently gotten shook-up about it, and then continued to make the same mistakes. Just from tape Duke knew he was going to go with his first read right from the start. That safety Weaver knew it so hard he left his apparent coverage on the first possession and immediately got an easy pick. I don't believe for a second the coaching staff hasn't told Rickie not to telegraph his passes.

While panic isn't warranted here (or ever), I just don't see a magic solution either. This sucks.
