Find me one player that's a better one-for-one swap of the guy he replaced. Do it. You can't. We had the worst set of receiving targets in the NFL. It's hard to be a good QB when you have nothing to throw to.

Note that I did not list the OL fails.

Note that I did not list the Coordinator fail.

Note that I did not list the Tebow distraction.

SAR ... Did you watch the games ??? Bad receivers don't cause the QB to throw high or behind his target. They also don't cause a laughable lack of pocket presence.

The thing that blew my mind was the drop off from week one to the rest of the season last year.
