[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 526169, member: 2232"] Here's what a lot of fans don't understand: McCarthy can call a play, beit for Tolzein or Flynn, or Rodgers. At the LOS (that's Line Of Scrimmage), the QB has to do 2 very important things. A) He must diagnose the defense. B) He must then call the correct play (they usually have 2 options to go with based on what the defense shows). These 2 steps are VERY IMPORTANT. It takes time. Time in the film room. And time playing real live games, that count. In preseason, defenses don't scheme like they do in real games. Then after A) and B), the QB must execute, and go to the right receiver...... ALL THAT AIN'T EASY. QB's with a lot more talent, and arm strength, have crashed, burned, and failed from the NFL because they can't read & react to all the confusing moving parts, at the same time as they got 900 pounds of pissed off maniacs trying to break their collar bone or break their legs. Tolzein might have the better arm, and foot speed, but he has no clue yet what the hell he is doing regarding A) and B), and it was my personal opinion that THIS TEAM DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO LET HIM LEARN ON THE FLY RIGHT NOW. Flynn has already grasped this WITH THIS OFFENSE. I think it's safe to see that we all learned this yesterday. It was night and day...... MM even gave Tolzein one drive after halftime..... and he was doing it with a hot Eddie Lacy and a defense that's focus was stopping #27 first. Why Tolzein threw 6 passes to James Jones being covered by a good Xavier Rhodes, but only threw 2 to Jordy against a bad CB.... that amazes me. That's not on McCarthy. [/QUOTE]
