Re: Observations from the Saints' Win over the Patriots
Never a JW fan with all the crap in his college and early Tampa days. Most of us certainly have things that we did during that period of our life that do not define us for the rest of our lives thankfully.
I think JW has matured and is a changed person from his earlier years. His history in Tampa was not great but he never had the coaching he needed to learn the process of being and NFL QB and to effectively use his skill set and arm talent. Again as I stated earlier, I was not a JW fan but also honest enough to know he was better than Terry Taysom or Drew if Drew choose to return this year. So I see and hear him being critizised for throwing under a 200 yards a game for 3 games like he can’ throw or is not able to handle reading defenses. Let’s get real for a second, he threw for over 5000 yards in 2019 and had 2 seasons (2015-16) over 4000 yards and 1 season (2017) with 3500 yards. The man can throw the ball, he did throw 30 INT’s in 2019. He’s not throwing ball more because SP’s game play calling is not asking for to throw more, not because JW can’t throw or carry an offense if needed. Brees in his prime could make just about any skill player with average skill look like an all pro. I venture to guess it’s SP that does not have the confidence level required in our current receivers to ask JW to pass the ball much more than currently being asked. Add an offensive line that is missing now 2 key starters and Ruiz in a position he did really spend any prep time this off-season and JW has not had much of a opportunity to get comfortable in the pocket. Only a talent on Brees’s level could make the current offensive unit look average to respectable in the passing game. We need bodies and talent back before any legit call on JW an be made. JW’s INT’s in game 2 did not lose the game the Panthers just kicked our butt on both sides of the ball. |
