To those who have seen O'Brien practice...
- Thread starter Suhrreal

When you don't have WR or OL it doesn't really matter. O'Brien isn't the answer although I say try something.
It won't matter...this is one of the worst Olines we have had.
The OL has struggled but Lee also has no awareness and command of the game. He doesn't check at the, never understands where pressure is coming from, etc. He is a guy that is great off PA with a clean pocket, but not good on 3rd and 7, when you have to have it. Maybe Gebbia or POB could give the O some life.
I believe a QB change would help. Tanner is not some young guy. He's a 22? 23? year old QB with multiple years under his belt. There are a lot of simple things adding up that do not look good right now. The intangibles matter a lot at the QB position. Tanner looks like he is spraying and praying out there.
POB may be faster but Gebbia just seems much more mobile in and around the pocket if that makes sense.
Gebbia seems to move with a purpose. Purpose is something I would love to see from the QB position right about now.
I would too with no running game or pass protection. He's getting bum rushed every play.
The inability to run the ball on a constant basis hurt the defense could just pin there ears back and go after the statue qb we have, les miles pointed it out correctly fullback in go right at them stop the fancy stuff. Tanner lee must be a great one to practice but in game situations is gawd awful try POB what does Riley aka forest gump have to lose I'm sure he's already on the extremely hot seat
The problems go waaaaaay beyond QB.
We played right into their hands throwing the ball 50 times, that's for sure. We let their undersized DL do what they do best.
If he is what we think he is, he'll be gone before it matters anyway. Put him in I say.
Lee won't work with what we have for an offense. Gebbia has moxie, leadership - whatever you want to call it. That is what the team needs more than his running or scrambling ability. But if we want to try POB first - so be it - we need a change. Lee is a sub 55% career passer that can't run that makes bad decisions.........time to move on.
Call me crazy but I don't think putting in a 185 pound true freshman behind a hapless O Line is a good way to start conference play.
I might be totally wrong on this...and hope I am... but I just do not see it with POB. He's still young though.
Lee I think had a tough OLine and not helpful play calling, but one play to me stands out and showed me a lot regarding his decision making process.
It was in the second half...2nd down I think and 8 or 9. Spielman was to his right split out and the defender was at least ten yards off. No help underneath from any LB.
Spielman ran a hook right right at the marker and had at least a five yard cushion on his guy. Lee hit the left TE on a drag for a 2 or 3 yard gain...went to his checkdown right away and I have no idea why.
We shoulda had a first down, but it's obvious he had his mind made up before the snap. Disappointing.
