but if we went crazy with the passing game , and scripted plays for a bunch of shots downfield , do you think Alex could develop into a gunslinger and become a dangerous pocket passer??
One does not develop into a gunslinger. Gunslinger is a mentality that Alex just hasn't displayed.

If he could learn that when a WR has two steps on a defensive back, said WR is considered "open," then I am sure he could. The way he plays right now, I have serious doubts.

Throw to wide open receivers that were easy presnap reads on mismatches.

He would probably throw a lot of ints.

Yep, and probably be benched. So no he wouldn't, he wouldn't get a chance.

yea big turnover numbers. He doesn't have the pocket presence nor the balls to be a gunslinger. The 2 games we needed him to be a gunslinger this year led to him throwing int after int.

You have manage him and limit his attempts to keep him efficient. He's just not capable of slinging the ball around 40 times a game and staying mistake free. JH and the staff knows this and thats why our offense is what it is.

Well, as he was himself a college player this seems a pretty fatuous comment.

Naw we had to throw a lot this season in Minn (35 attempts( and NYG (30 attempt).
He did well in the Lions game though throwing a lot i think.
We lost convincingly both times. Our strength is running complimented by short passing.
