My favorite teams
I think this is a conspiracy theory. If they truly didn't trust him, they'd put Trevor Siemian in. Just my opinion.It's not the lack of production or video game numbers that concerns me--it's the lack of attempts . I really really hope I'm wrong, but I just can't shake the feeling it's because the staff doesn't trust him to read the field, go through his progressions, throw with anticipation, etc.--the same concerns that reportedly caused QB-needy teams like the Broncos and Panthers to pass on him in the draft.
The game 1 lack of attempts was the monsoon. Game 2 was just poor game managing by the OC. No QB in this league is going to be able to get going with that amount of attempts.
I don't mind him having 20-30 attempts per game, but 11 is just insane. I'd think 40 or 50 was insane, too. Balance is good.
