Go Army!
Just the inevitable that will happen to any player in the NFL who plays a lot. DB's get burned, LB's miss tackles, O-linemen give u sacks, QB's throw INT's.
They've made a conscious decision to limit the amount he throws, and the sample size for games where he throws a LOT is really, really small (Atlanta game?)
Early on his career, yes, the offensive approach was designed with a rookie starter's limitations in mind. Then it morphed to PC stating on many occasions "we want to be the scrambling team in the NFL" and putting the game in RW's hands when it appeared that was how we would get the W, even as early as the Chicago game his rookie year that happened. We play to the scoreboard and don't chuck it up 50 times a game, and we've had a lead in every game RW has played in. We play a style that we believe gives us the best chance to win, not necessarily a "conscious decision" to limit RW's passing attempts. Just my opinion anyway.
Hmm, I guess we'll soon see. Saying there will be doesn't make it so, however. So far after 3 years of watching him play, I haven't seen anything of RW that makes me think he can't handle 10 more attempts a game without seeing his effectiveness fall off.But there WILL be some growing pains, some lessons along the way.
And one more yard gained in the SB, and what are we talking about then? That cuts both ways.If GB had won in last year's NFCCG, we'd be talking about how those pains had already started. The incredible result glossed that over, and the fainting couches in here didn't come out until this year.![]()
