lol..
my point is Grossman was naturally a gun slinger (not a good one...but still) and once he started worrying about making mistakes......he made plenty of them and got worse. Cant put shackles on his QB.
I could be wrong...but if Lovie challenged that VJack TD...
Jameis QB rating would have finished at 94
You right about that rating. You always want your rookie to play well and develop confidence.
The thing with Rex was he just didn't give a fukk no matter the situation. He was a dude who thought he was Farve but played like a two dollar imitation.
Dude would get into highs and lows during a game because he would not understand down and distance. There is no reason to thread the needle if it is third and 1 on your 20 with that defense. Throw it out of bounds and punt it.
He also had small hands like Culpepper, Moon and Dave Kraig so he would fumble a lot. To top it off he wasn't the best at reading coverages and you could confuse him.
So you have a dude who fumbles a lot, has issues reading coverages and is prone to try and throw balls into double and triple coverages. You know you playing at a disadvantage at QB.
Not to mention I always believed the mckaskeys were pushing Lovie to start Rex. I believe that season they went to the Superbowl was one of the best coaching (defensive wise and special teams wise) you will ever see. Those dudes had to make up for the mistakes made by the QB.
Luckily Rex had a fishy relationship with Kyle Shannonhan that helped him get numerous jobs when he should have been out of the league.
And it was a Lebeau defense we are talking about. Y'all have no running game to speak of whatsoever. Teams won't respect the PA. Just line up in shotgun and establish the passing game to set up the run
