A team needs to be good enough to not allow a bad ref call change the game for us and we're not there. As inconsistant as our offense was, we were one yard away from winning that game.
I expected CW to be better because of the Stroud performance last yr. The truth is he is a rookie with great potenial that has a learning process. His TOs contributed to 2 losses and was a non factor in our win. 4 Ints and 2 fumbles. I expected us to be 7-2 out of the blocks but he isnt up to speed yet and this is what we get. If this yr was about winning, Fields should still be here, more in a transistion season than for a future QB. We would be 3-0 if he was here, CW what be doing a Mahomes type first yr. So this is about the future at the position of QB and not instant winning. We just have to be patient because this what a rookie QB first season looks like.
Now play calling looks bad but with better exectution maybe we would have a different view. We went from a running team with an average QB to a future star with a finese passing game. Our idenity is a strong defense with a rookie QB that just doesnt happen right away. Lots of mistakes are made but lets not forget we were 2 final drives away from being 3-0. This is what you get as you transistion to a rookie QB.
