Anointed One
Gone Country!
He hasn't looked like his former self in his last 22-23 games... It's not like we have just a handful of examples... Like you said, it's been a year and half... Teams have also figured out his spin move out of the pocket to create more time and separation while giving him the option to run or throw down field... That was his trademark and quite frankly, that trademark is not there anymore... Teams have taken it away from him... He's not a pocket passer due to his height, which is why he makes more downfield throws imo while in the pocket... It's easier to see rather than the 5-10 yard pass options...His play the last year half has been bad. He's always relied on his legs to make plays ( it's what made him special) and his legs are gone, his speed is gone, his quickness is gone and he has not honed his skills within the pocket which is where he's going to have to play from going forward for the most part. He'll be 34 next season and for a mobile QB 34 is like 39 for QBs that haven't relied on breaking the pocket and played from the pocket and honed that skill over their career IMO.
