What is Alex's biggest weakness?

win.

Playing football,,all jokes aside..dude can't play at the high level consistently...

He needs the best O-line in football, he needs the best set of skill players in football, he needs a defense that can make 7 points stand up for four quarters, he needs a coaching staff and offense custom tailored to his style, is there anything else I am missing?

I do agree that confidence is a factor. He has struggled for years, beginning with his rookie year. He has had many obstacles facing him, and he still does today. It has to take a toll over time.

While he screws up on his own, there have been many times when what could have been a thrilling play, ended up with the receiver dropping or tipping the pass, or the ball being fumbled, or a penalty calling the play back, or a missed block resulting in a sack or pressure. If the other guys had played like they should, Alex would have had much more success, better stats and far more wins. Success is the mother of more success.

This is easy: his footwork and vision when dropping back. He's fine in the shotgun but he's always been awful dropping back.

Let's see:

1. Post-Snap reads
2. Accuracy
3. Touch

Well, that covers just about everything that a successful NFL QB needs.

inconsistency. One game he looks like "hmm he might be pulling it together" the next it is "WTF Why is this piece of crap starting, bring back Wienke"

and even when he does look "good", it's not like he's tossing up 4TDs and over 400 yards.

No but he did prove last year when the team ran a spread offense he can put up 3TD games

Does anyone know if Alex is allowed to call audibles at the line yet? It seams so simple for a 6yr Quarterback. Like wearing a wrist band with plays on it.

small hands = high passes

No, his ceiling is 3TDs. His average would be 1.5 TD 2INT.

his ball placement as times is horrible. thats the biggest problem. if he was on target and in stride on most of his passes hed probably only have 2 INTs this year. all those tips were off target. he just cant hit people in stride and i always see the receiver end the route and wait for the ball on most passes to the WR. it makes no sense considering how fluid he was at Utah.
