People acting like Kyle doesn't trust Jimmy would have a better point if we just kept running until halftime came. We ran twice to see what would happen and keep the clock moving. Kyle let Jimmy throw on our own 25...turnover there would be awful and if Kyle doesn't trust Jimmy we run again. Jimmy gets us 20 on 3rd and 5. Then throws a dime to Kittle.
I know what Kyle said. My point is, if he had Aaron Rodgers as his QB, he wouldnt have decided that. If he had Russell Wilson as his QB, he wouldnt have decided that. Therefore, in this specific scenario I think it can be very logical to conclude he didnt trust Jimmy to not make a mistake.
Also, I totally disagree with your ascertation that a turnover would be the worst thing in the world on that 3rd down. If Jimmy's ball was picked off, it would have been like a punt. The conclusions you are drawing from being "allowed to throw on the 25" can be discounted with the type of throw that was dialed up.
Not to mention once again...with the 2 score lead in the 4th quarter Kyle had us passing. Come on...if there are any trust issues Kyle is holding that lead for dear life and just running praying we keep the chains moving and kill the clock.
He trusted Jimmy and the passing offense to make their plays vs pass favorable looks. Unfortunately our offense didn't come through or KC's D made more plays.
This was another one of my points. I said there were examples in the SB that point to BOTH Kyle having faith in Jimmy and Kyle not having faith in Jimmy. Kyle keeping the ball in Jimmy's hands with a 2 score lead is one example proving he DID have faith in Jimmy.
But you cant use this one piece of evidence to say the other side is wrong. Because, like I said, there were conflicting messages Kyle sent throughout the game....which is why I have no idea if Kyle has full trust in Jimmy. What bothers me is that no one knows, yet the people who claim that Kyle has full trust in Jimmy claim that they KNOW. They dont.
Some decisions from Jimmy need to be cleaned up and I'm sure some piss Kyle off....no QB even the Brady/Brees type make all the right decisions and do everything perfectly that the coach wants. If anything this whole "Kyle doesn't trust Jimmy" BS is coming from the Pats.
Really tired of the "no QB makes all the plays" type argument. I guarantee you a Saints or Patriots fan has never said that. I also dont believe the trust thing is coming from New England. Some of our fans think that way. Some of our fans think like me and genuinely dont know for sure. But to claim that its coming from New England is kind of silly bro. You are reading this thread, and people arent Patriots fans in here.
