Guest Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Homers. He was not good in the Houston or Pittsburgh games and didn't do shit until the final drive against the Chargers. The 4 game stretch that the Locker homers use to justify his ability is way overblown. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtenn Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 I don't think he is an accurate enough passer to be a franchise QB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMJ Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 I don't think he knows enough about the position to be an average QB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TF_Titan Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 I'm not sure I'd call Wisenhunt's offense "quarterback friendly" depending on how you define "friendly". It demands a lot more of the QB in terms of decision making and accuracy than the system he played in last season. It's not clear that he will thrive given the added responsibility. He's never had great (maybe even good) pocket presence and he'll be expected to play more from the pocket than he has in the past. I think the jury is very much still out. Of course the whole question is probably moot since it depends on him staying healthy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of this in roughly 23 NFL games. Good, but not great. That's who Locker is. He can be good. I don't think he'll ever be great. Good beats the Colts in Indy in October.. Great finds a way to out deul Brady on the road in Jan. Good often times looks like Great in September and October, it's not until December and January that you find out that's it's not.

Face Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 I posted before that his career numbers, which amounted to almost the exact amount of passes Luck threw last year, are pretty good. He has to be more decisive & he has to improve his pocket presence. And, I know it's not popular, he has to make plays with his legs. A lot of them. I don't think he's good enough to do what McNair did & become a big time pocket passer, but he averages almost 7 YPC, if he can rush for 600 or so yards, he may have a chance.

IsntLifeFunny Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 He's shown enough flashes to still believe he could become a franchise type QB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
