re: Looks like defense is going to be simply elite this year

I wouldn’t say those are excuses so much as facts. King was the guy, regardless of how good he is or would have been he was QB1 and I bet he got a major percentage of reps, even in camp with a “QB Battle” going on. Him going down was a big deal

It's an excuse b/c if Jimbo is all he's said to be he shouldn't have that kind of issue in year 4. He's had plenty of time to get the roster the way he wants and had plenty of time to prepare Calzada.

I just don’t see how this is Jimbos fault, a coach can prepare you and give you all the tools but if you can’t use them or you freeze up in the moment, that’s on you. I can’t blame Jimbo for Calzada being scared or sailing the ball 30 yards over someone’s head

It's Jimbo's fault b/c he had the guy in the program for 2 two full seasons before last year, one of which w/him as the primary backup, and was only able to get him 24 passes over those two years. His offense has been so dismal and his refusal to ever take out Mond was so strong that Calzada was not prepared to play when it came time.
