I think he can manage the game better than most of the guys we've had in the past, but he's still too small, and will never be the type of guy who can take a team on his back and win a game when he needs to.
He does a pretty good job of getting out of the pocket to throw the ball away, buying time, or finding a check-down... basically makes a lot of smart decisions..... He can't run a fast offense and throw darts in small spaces consistently when he has to though.....
Like I have said before.... if we keep building up the O-Line, get Hillis to demand more attention, and get at least one BIG TIME WR, we'll be a real contender...
but right now:
1) Our O-Line is good, but banged up yet again with the loss of Steinbach
2) We don't have any great WRs.... NONE... don't fool yourself.
3) We need a better D-Line
4) Our DBs are actually pretty good, but still young and kind of play with a flashy style.
Basically our Defense isn't good enough to hold onto games, so when we're up by 10 points going into the 4th quarter, we can't afford to play conservative, and rely on the defense to win it for us.... we have to keep scoring, and the problem I see, is that we get a lead, then it turns into RUN for 1 or 2, RUN for 1 or 2... Pass when they know we have to throw, and our WRs who aren't that great, can't get separation....
Our team, as far as talent, is WAY further this year than we have been in previous years, and we're doing much better drafting than previous years....
I'm also glad we aren't doing the Cincy "quick fix" approach of getting a T.O. type player etc... and we're developing the young guys we have. With that said, I always thought losing Eric Wright was a mistake.... we should have found a way to keep that guy.
Either way.... one of many rebuilding years right
The thing to look forward to, is the fact that our O-Line and D-Line are taken care of well enough, that a FA here or there will really solidify both lines, and we can actually take a shot a highly touted WR in the draft.... If we had the 1st year Braylon Edwards we drafted way-back-when NOW..... it'd be completely different... He's gonna make the drops he always made... but he's going to demand that double coverage that currently none of our guys really demand.....
We'll be exposed badly when we play a team like Green Bay, or Philly, or TEN, or NE, who have GREAT DBs......
We'll see though.... it's games like those that you have to hope for good play from Hillis, or big special-teams/Def. plays....
Many games are won/lost with penalties and turnovers.....
