Tua time!
We will never know the answer on this and of course we will choose sides even on it but I think those first 5 years taking all that contact really did a number on Ryan. Mentally, pocket development, muscle memory wise etc. he was tough as shoe leather so maybe it got a little overlooked I know we were on borrowed time with all that contact but really what’s done ryan in more than anything else imo is the lack of development of the off script and the situational awareness at times. In terms of his pure play. Or what I would completely hold the qb accountable for.
Vs the Vikings if there was 12 sacks to be had there he’d have stood there and took every one of them. Doesn’t much matter how many he was responsible for of the 9.
Vs physical fronts and teams we just always seemed to get our ass kicked at the los. For the longest time I thought that was just o line play cause we got man handled up front but the qb never came up with any off script counter to try and offset.
It’s gonna go down for me as the strangest lack of development with time and reps I think I’ve ever seen. These things qbs don’t always come into the league elite at they develop. And with Ryan it’s just been missing or never developed.
And maybe that’s a part of the reason why he has taken so much hard contact.
I just know the way the last 3 games went even I was ready to waive the white flag on this qb in Miami.
And I can’t blame anyone else for feeling the same.
Pre snap and progression read he checks those boxes but man tbe off script and the at times situational awareness in the clutch it’s like he’s mentally not there.
