Let’s all be fair. If this was LAST year , regardless who the coach was, you would be happy with the Wilson trade .
Very high completion %, 5/1 TD to INT ratio and QBR of over 100. The yards aren’t there and the escapability isn’t as good as 5 years ago but it’s not terrible.
Have you changed your stance about wanting Russell , at least for one more year, before making up your mind if he is the right guy for the job ?
I was not too down on him last year, obviously the season sucked but I refused to believe the drop off could truly be that severe. I agree with what some others have said that he seems to be on the move more and making plays…last year some of his best throws were on the move.
I think Hackett took his “I wanna be more of a pocket passer” thing way too seriously and it seemed like he would rather take the sack then bail out of the pocket. Sure he’s not putting up yards, certainly wont be up for MVP or anything…but importantly is he’s being Russ: making plays when it matters and not turning the ball over.
VJ turning the defense around certainly helps too I have to believe, at least with the mentals of it. 15-16 turnovers in 5 games is stupid, but I love it so much.
