rickeyrunsover said:I understand your point but yuou fail to consider teh circumstances. He spent all offseason in a system that was geared for Ricky and they never changed the system, never adapted teh system. Everything that we did was predicated on the run, then we didnt have that option and everything else went downhill. The run was supposed to set up the pass, when the run wasnt there, nobody bought the run. Plus Boston got hurt, so we lose another player AJ was working on building timing with. Once Ricky retired it sent the whole offense in a tailspin, to ask an inexperienced qb behind a subpar o-line and no ground game to make up teh slack with the system giving him no support is way too much to ask.
very good observation, we've try to point out a number things to people, but they expect circumstances not to affect a QB, ie. OL lack of blocking, both pass and run, which resulted in no running game, which caused players to press..and on and on...I'd love to see those who complain about AJ go in do better than he did..
