Why hasn't it taken other QB's this long to 'get it'?
Bad team, Yeah one of the worst we have ever fielded. Marv failed to address the OL except with castoffs and low round picks. I know for FACT this OL sucks, but it can only be so much of an excuse.
Good QB's by now have picked up how to check off. This is a HIGH SCHOOL thing, let alone a pro thing. Bad line, fine look at the defense and audible. If when you hit your back foot you feel heat, run.
JP to me is lacking in the mental part of the game. Not the physical and definately not the heart or attitude dept. No one here can question his desire to be good nor his heart for the game. The problem is, 'Rudy' doesn't cut it in the NFL.
I watch him when he talks and he just doesn't seem to have it when you look at the kids eyes. I am not getting that 'Presence' that a confident QB, a leader, should have.
Philip Rivers has sat for 2 years with less game time and has a better mental grasp. Better team around him, Yes. But the kid just gets it better. Same with Eli. Needless to say I leave rothlesburger off because of the great team around him but he still for the most part has made good decisions.
I have also seen better decision making overall (yeah he sucked yesterday) from Lionert and even Vince young.
I am just at the point I look at JP and don't see it.
