Because they are scared to let him pass more
Hell we let Joey attempt 35 today and what like 62 against the Pats
At least Joey had no turnovers today

I don't think they wanted this game to be wide open.Comment

Re: 13 pass attempts....
It's not rocket science. Ball control requires a strong commitment to the run...I think they overdid it a little though. 17 pass plays is a bit few.Comment

Re: 13 pass attempts....
Bashers argue a flawed theory. They say that the reasons JP has had so few opportunities to pass these last 2 games is because...
They want to limit his opportunities to fail.
They doubt his abilities and know how.
They have no confidence in him.
That's a completely flawed theory. Because, if that were the case, they'd sit him.
Instead... I, and many others here, offer the following theory...
A sound thinking person would reallize the fact that JP's had few opportunities the last 2 games is more likely due to game planning against 2 future HOF QB's... It worked last week... almost worked this week.
That seems like a more logical hypothesis at this point.
2 game total... These would be nice numbers for a single game...
17 of 28, 60.7%, 185 YDS, 6.61 YDS/A, 3.6% TD, 92.1 passer rating, 0 TO's

Re: 13 pass attempts....
I dont' blame the coaches. Tough to throw the ball when your QB is horrid. It's not like they have much choice either. Look what they have on the bench, a career backup, and oh, another career backup.Comment

Re: 13 pass attempts....
It looks to me as if the coaching staff has given up on JP. Last week, against the worst rated pass defense in the league, we called 20 pass plays. Yesterday, in a game we had little chance of winning except to make some big offensive plays, we called 17 - and our best RB was inactive. A lot of QBs get 37 pass plays in ONE game.
JP will not learn to play QB in this league, or gain the confidence and maturity he needs, by being shackled. Maybe he wouldn't have anyway, but we'll never know, based on how he's being handled now. This would be the season - since we are rebuilding - to let him play and grow.
The coaching staff knows this, but chooses instead to totally limit what he does. They seem to be in sort of a "We can't win with JP playing a normal QB role, so let's keep it respectable while not looking like we've made a big mistake naming him as the starter," mode.
I don't expect to see him back next year.Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

because we have no faith that JP is Peyton Manning who could manage to still make throws when he has a turnstyle for a line.Originally posted by SABURZFAN
