I realize our OL isn't the best, that's no secret. I also am aware that Canada's playbook is simplistic, uncreative and doesn't seem to get receivers all that open. But those things being said, have you ever noticed Kenny's propensity to not seem to find "where to go with the ball" upon initial drop back?
I'm not sure what the %'s are but it sure seems like 90% of the time, when he drops back to pass, he takes a quick look and then has to "reboot" the play and look for someone to be open. I know every QB does this, as often times upon immediate scanning of the field, there is no one open. But it seems extra numerous in Kenny's case. There was ONE play I noticed where Kenny dropped back, took a look and immediately delivered the ball to an open receiver. And I said, "There you go, that makes things easier."
So, that brings me to the question of "why?" Why, in so many cases, does upon Kenny's initial drop back, that there isn't anywhere to go with the ball, forcing him to have to reboot, usually leading to bad things, such as arrant balls, incompletions or worse. This is a real question. Is it because the plays are so poor that no one is ever open initially? Or is it because Kenny is too picky, or weak-armed to stick the ball into spaces that are just not occurring in the NFL game?
Whatever the cause, this must be fixed, if Kenny is to become the quality QB we all hope he can become. It goes so much "easier" when it goes as simple as "hike, take a look for a second, deliver the ball on target" as opposed to "hike, don't see anything, reboot, run to the right and pray something develops." Any thoughts?
