One play showed 3 different wrs in one on one coverage and he wouldnt push the ball downfield. JC plays scared and thats why he went without throwin a int for half the season. HIS AVG THROW ON 3RD DOWN WAS LIKE 5.7 YARDS.and he had one of the worst comp %'s on 3rd down. PPL wanted to question Zorns playcalling but we had WR's deep and open and he took the easy way out. Thats why ppl are calling for a change,thats why ppl are calling for Collins or Brennan

You do realize you contradict yourself here, right? If he has the worst completion percentage on third downs, and yet he is going for the safe throw which he was completing for 5.7yds somewhere the stats breakdown. I don't think anyone argues that JC hasn't been timid at times when avoiding INTs, moreso that the timidity is a result of two main factors
- the effects of JG, and JZ drilling ball security first
- the lack of confidence that his receivers were running the routes as they were supposed to.
This year is absolutely his year to show confidence in routes and getting the ball into the tighter spots. I don't think he can't do this, but he does need to step up and show it.
Given all that, calling for Collins - a perennial backup, or Brennan, a 2nd year 3rd stringer, is just change for change sake, not because of any real tangible improvement.
