I'm not even 100% sure it's about the footwork and pocket presence. Two examples: the second INT he threw in Cleveland and the last pass he threw...
That was my point regarding the drops. Except for Moncrief, it's not like the receivers were dropping balls with Ben or with Duck. And it's not...
Even before the Cleveland game he was not doing "decent work compared to many qbs". He was at the bottom of yards per attempt, for example. It...
That's because Duck gave Washington a chance to make a play. Rudolph didn't provide him those chances because he can't throw it accurate enough....
My negativity is based on what I saw over the 8 games. He couldn't throw a deep ball. Passes to the outside lacked zip. He was consistently...
Rudolph is what he is and his ceiling just isn't very high Average to below average arm strength Way below average accuracy Slow decision making...
That drive showed important accuracy is for a passer. Rudolph just wasn't capable of throwing those deep balls accurate enough to give his...
The sad thing is that he's had even more than 8 games worth of first team reps considering that Ben always gets Wednesdays off.
And how many "single games" are out there? All I'm asking for is some benchmarking which I've never seen.
Context is everything. For example, you point out his 17-20 road record vs sub -.500 teams since '12. I honestly don't know how that compares...
I'm not even sure how much the concussion had to do with it. Even against SF and Seattle you could see his limitations and knew the league would...
Agree, and in all probability he'll run less as he gets more confidence with his passing. Basically, the same development path as McNabb or...
It's possible to be a championship caliber team without a really good QB, but it's not likely. It might happen once every 5-7 years at most....
I'd change the title to "announced", but no. I like the unintentional ambiguity
Yeah, I don't think this was that hard of a decision from that perspective, i.e. giving the best chance to win Sunday.
Tony Romo and Kurt Warner were undrafted. edit: Of course, so was 98% of college qbs who never had a pro career at all
Duck
No. The punishment handed down right now, imo, is appropriate and he should be reinstated next year. A permanent ban could also have some bad...
Five Thirty-Eight's playoff predictor has the Steelers currently at 31%. Sunday's game basically becomes a +/-20% game. Win and their playoff...
Bang on about how hard a franchise QB is to find. I agree that MR may not be in a good mental state right now, but he was terrible in Cleveland...
