OILERMAN Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 I listened to several NFL podcasts after the Jets game and people are pretty down on Locker. I'll reserve judgement until he's played 2013. I'm concerned but also believe he's been handled terribly. Of course I also have little faith the people in charge of him will improve that.

japan Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 At this point, I'm at a situation where I can calm down on my criticism of Locker. Its good to finally see people realize that he is what he is. A bad QB that has a lot of impressive physical tools. Always has been the case, and likely he will always be a disappointing case. I'm disappointed in his progress but at least he's someone that you can get behind and doesn't bitch and whine like your hero... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamalisms Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 It's more coach speak, but for those interested in it: (on what is happening when Jake Locker holds onto the ball too long) Really, it’s no one is open. The problem is that you’re hoping to get guys come free. Like we were talking about (Aaron) Rodgers, he’s been sacked 45 times, not because of the offensive line all the time but because he’s doing the same thing. He’s trying to wait for something to happen, with sacks they’re the second-most in the league. That’s the same thing, he’s looking to buy time. Same thing with Jake (Locker), a couple last week, that was the thing. The one down by the goal, he was waving and waving, either the guy is covered or he’s not open, and all of a sudden, you’re trying to find an escape lane. Teams are going to do a good job against running quarterbacks to stay in their lanes now. A couple times, he did get out and made first downs, but they stayed in their lanes well in those things, so there was really nowhere for him to run, so he took the sack rather than something bad happening with an interception. That’s what Rodgers does a good job of. He does a good job of not throwing the bad pass that can change the game. I thought that’s what Jake did a great job of last week, of not allowing that to happen, not turning the ball over. You want more points, but the bottom line is, we didn’t have any bad plays that hurt us. I think that’s what Rodgers does a great job of. Hopefully, Jake will continue to turn some of those plays into bigger plays. (on if he still likes the speed of Jake Locker’s decision making) The decision making is not a problem. It’s just sometimes it might not be the perfect delivery when it’s his fault. Sometimes, the route isn’t being run right or someone isn’t open or he thought the receiver was going to do something that he didn’t do. So you have some of that, that’s all built in. Sometimes there is pressure, the first pass he threw in the game last week, his arm got hit when he was trying to throw that ball to Kenny (Britt), we got pressure. It’s those combinations, that’s why, when you look at stats, you can’t be like, ‘Hey, what happened within the game?’ Not just with whatever his stats were in the game. The biggest stat was that he didn’t turn the ball over, and we won. We just have to continue from there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

big2033 Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Amazing. I've been saying the Titans wanted a Rogers-like offense with Locker. This team has handled our QB like an eager fan looking at what others have and trying to emulate. Hopefully Tom Moore wakes them up the staff to reality. Or we're in big trouble. Locker is more Kaepernick than Rogers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abenjami Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 What's the biggest difference between Locker, Rodgers and Kaepernick? Those other two guys have very solid head coaches and offensive minds guiding them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those other two guys have very solid head coaches and offensive minds guiding them. Coaches with a plan for their QB. Not emulating someone else's. It's a definite concern that our staff seems to be following a script instead of adapting with the ebbs and flows of his development. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
