instead relying on zone-reads/design runs/gimmicks as a base offense was part of the problem.

Could do nothing in the long-run but help enocourage unsustainable habits & expose the franchise QB to more hits than he should have taken.

Like when DRose went down in a crumpled heap in Game 1 of last year's playoff, it likely wasn't really 'that play' that did it.

That was just the final saturation point for that joint but it was going to happen one way or the other soon based on the wear/tear of that season & point in his career.

Shanny & Company sold this kid's long-term development short for short-term gains every step of the way so far.

Bob, Skins Fans & the organization are all now paying the price.
