There are a bunch of good points on the recent posts. First of all I am not throwing Williams overboard yet. It is way too early. If anyone is most responsible for his results so far it's the organization and coaches.
First, they draft this kid number 1 and sell him as the QB savior.
Second, they name him the starting QB without any competition to actually win the job. Even if it was something similar to an actual battle it would have helped. The kid knew he had the job before preseason. Big mistake.
Third, they throw him out there with very little playing time in the preseason. Yeah, you don't want him to get hurt. But is it OK to get him killed now?
Fourth, they give him an OL that couldn't block me and he gets very little if no time to throw which leads to nine sacks on Sunday. If you put a lot of pressure on any QB in the league their performance will suffer.
Fifth, the play calling for this kid and the team has been awful. They throw when they should run and vice-versa and give the ball to an O-Lineman at the goal line with the game on the line in the 4th quarter.
Sixth, they take Cole Kmet completely out as an option to Williams. Kmet wasn't doing bad at all! In the first six games he had 29 targets and he caught 26 of those passes, for 289 yards and scored 3 TDs. In the last three games he has had five targets, including none against Arizona and one against Washington. 27 yards and no TDs. It might not seem like a big thing, but put together a lot of things like that and here we are.
Of course there are several more things I could list. Why bother. All I can say is, here we go again!
