original post was perfect, now come the excuses about coaching and Jimmy
Play calling and Jimmy's execution follow the s**t show we had from the oline yesterday. The O is setup to run the ball and then play action, we all know this. Could not run the ball yesterday so play action was pretty much dead. You can cry all you want about Jimmy, but his passer rating up to the 4th qtr was over a 100 I believe. Then the line from the center to the rt completely collapsed. They stood there like turnstiles, arms out guarding air but letting free rushers left and right. I agree Jimmy is not a top 10 but he's alot better than this crowd gives him credit for and unless we address the oline next year, Trey is going to be running for his life and his development will be stalled at best.
The team couldn't run because the Rams rightfully had no respect for Jimmy's ability to beat them. This will not be the case with Trey, who has shown repeatedly he can beat a defense deep and has no qualms about throwing downfield.
Throwing deep isn't what backs a defense out. Beating the blitz and consistently burning them in the passing game does when stacked. Trey will have to learn to consistently be efficient in the passing game esp. early when every defense will stack the box and run blitz initially.
It isn't the threat of beating a blitz that keeps 8 and 9 men out of the box. It's the deep threat that does that.
It is not blitz beating that makes every defense play two high safeties against the Chiefs. It's the threat of the deep pass FROM THE QUARTERBACK. I capitalized that because I know you're already pulling out your go-to false claim that Deebo and Aiyuk can't beat corners deep. But a deep passing game isn't just 9 routes. With Trey we will be able to regularly use deep corners, posts, deep crossers outside the numbers, and deep play-action.
Teams might start the 8 box stuff, but when Trey starts burning defenses like he did against the Texans, this offense will more closely resemble the 2016 Falcons.

P.S. Jimmy is not efficient. Efficient QBs don't turn the ball over at such a high rate. Jimmy has punctuated efficiency. He'll go a drove or two being efficient, but it's surrounded by stagnation and interceptions. Jimmy is NOT a good game manager. Trey showed in college that he IS. As he learns the NFL game, I am quite sure Trey will continue on being what he is: a good game manager who can attack every corner of the field, but who can also run as an added bonus.
Nice assessment Rings! I totally agree, and am excited for Trey!
