Watching Vick run for over 100 yards but struggling in the pocket = no sb. I doubt that rb who can throw will ever be in the sb.
We know JP can scramble like Elway or a Steve Young, but in order for him to succeed like those 2, he has to be able to throw like those 2 from the pocket.
I was starting to second guess whether Fairchild was doing the right thing in developing JP. Seems like JP is getting better in between his ears. There's no doubt he has the physical tools it's his head I was worried about. I always thought that they should let JP air it out to try and win games. However, if we did that, we're never gonna develop our running game. We'd be a Gilbride offense once again.
The times JP struggled the most was when he didn't spread the ball. I think he gained confidence in Price after the texans game, and this time he knows he can go to Parrish as well. Evans-Price-Parrish-Reed and Cieslak. Other than Evans, none of them seem dangerous, but once JP is given time to spread the love, teams may have to pick their poison. We just need another wr to be a deep threat. I think in time JP will start making deep connections with Price/Parrish. It takes time but so far, so good.
BTw, that Eli INT at the end of the game on the run , JP can make that throw + 20 yards. (where did I read that before? ) Oh yeah I said that same thing last week.
