am not talking about pressure with my last post. Am comparing the night and day difference in the offense once Watson went down that year. Savage was a veteran who had been in that same system for years. Watson was a rookie. Soon as Savage took over, the offense went down the shitter. Savage still had Lamar Miller to hand the ball off to. Still had Hopkins to throw too yet none of that mattered (Mitch will be in same boat)
That is separate and quite frankly not all that compelling because Savage was never a QB good enough to be a starter. We don't know for example what would have happened if the replacement was actually a good QB. It is pretty obvious that most teams would struggle if a shitty backup replaces an actual good QB.
