We have reached game 12 and he did have an extended off-season. Just one of the many reasons trending to a tired arm. Short week, alot of attemps, constant pressure, and so on.

Due to the lock out there was no off season last year either... Professional athletes train year round regardless of coach or organized team activities.

The lightbulb moment for me was Drews long pass to Moore against SF where it became a jump ball.

Watch lance start to slow down at the end... He knows..

And chase took all the snaps in the offseason so drew hasn't got close to over working his arm

We are lucky our receivers battle for the ball, especially that video you posted Oak, Moore put himself on the line for a well under thrown ball

Yes he did... Graham on the other hand, on curl routs does not come back for the ball.. He had a few batted away against Atl for that... Thats not just my observation, that came direct from the commentator booth also.

Fundamentals have been killing us this year

I disagree on this one. Defense was over the top. If Drew goes any deeper it's (another) pick at worst, Lance getting smashed and dropping the pass at best.

I think a lot of his troubles stem from really one issue: the O-Line. His lack of protection leads to two things:
- his not being able to step through his throws either because he has defenders in his face or because he's rushing the throw because he's ABOUT to have defenders in his face.
- he's getting abused in the pocket. It's got to start messing with your head when you get hit that often.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to make excuses for Drew. I think he should be audibling (is that a word?) into runs more often since Carmichael is obviously oblivious. And he has to see the field better (this is the one that scares me. How does a QB stop being able to read defenses? Worse, how does he get back to being able to do it again?)

Finally, he has to stop trying to carry the whole load himself. I think it's admirable that he wants to be that kind of leader but he's making us predictable.

I really just want the season to end at this point. All I could think during the Falcons came was "Everyone seems to need to take a step back and clear their head." How often does Sproles drop that pass down the sideline that would have gone for, what, 45 yards? Or Moore drop a sure, easy TD? Or Graham get called for PI? Then Drew loses his s**t and tries to throw us back into the game by himself...5 picks.

We're just a mess psychologically and I'm worried someone's going to get hurt as a result.
