I'm just not buying that excuse anymore. We have too more QBs in the league coming in and immediately putting up numbers. Adam Theilan didn't need a lot of time with Cousins.

Like Jay said prior to the season, the team is built and the expectation was for Alex to come in and lead in the QB position.

Alex didn't seem to improve a bit through out the season. The Redskin receiving core isn't The Posse of course, but Alex was awful Sunday. He even made un-Alex like mistakes. His last play he took a 15 yard sack when a throwaway would have left Hopkins with a 40 yard field goal attempt. No sure what was going on with him.

I will say and admit the Offense looked way better when Colt came in, guys were all of the sudden open and making plays. I have watched every pass Alex has had this yr on film, some were his fault but many were no separation so we will see what happens thursday in a Huge game.

I don't know, there were a lot of dropped passes early in the game though. I mean that dropped pass by Davis was huge IMO.

I feel that the expectations for Alex were high, in terms of being able to sync with the offense and receivers. I mean, wasn't the knock on receivers in the previous seasons was that they would not get open or drop passes as well?

That being said, I think Colts' familiarity with the offense will be key, I just hope he is able to take care of the ball. And of course, stay healthy.

I could never figure Vernon out. For a guy who looks to be chiseled out of granite and runs freakishly fast for his size, it is too easy to knock the ball away from him, he rarely runs over people, and his blazing speed doesn't seem apparent on the field. This was even true in his younger days with the 49ers.

Also, prior to this year, he was pretty reliable as a receiver and filled in nicely whenever Reed was out.

I literally screamed at the TV when the dropped that pass. I mean, the pass hit him right in the hands, and he had some separation from the DB that was covering. It would definitely had been a huge gain, if not a TD score.

People underestimate how moments like this can have a huge effect on a game. It reminded me a lot of Nicholson's penalty that negated a 3rd down stop, and NO went off after this.

This dropped ball came after the Peterson TD, and I believe either the team had either stopped or held Houston to a FG and it was 10-7. They could have either taken the lead or tie the game then. I think it is a different ball game if that happens. But oh well.

Exactly!
Trey Quinn and his 31" vertical leap outplayed Josh Doctson and his 42" vertical right out of the gate.
We need to stop making excuses for guys that don't produce no matter how pretty they look doing it.

With that said, I should give credit to Preston Smith for making 2 big plays and actually getting pressure a handful of times. He sucks a little less this week.

Preston has come alive the last several weeks...we've needed it.

This whole AS injury, the trade, the bad extension, quality of play at that position....it just doesn't matter who else does great, until we get a decent QB, we aren't going anywhere. Scouts need to find us a good draft pick...fire Bruce.

Maybe Alex can hang around and groom the young QB, get us a Mahomes.
