I don't know if he's hurt or his shoulder just can't stand an NFL schedule anymore but it's obvious that Chad doesn't have it anymore. He's got nothing on his passes and he's making uncharacteristic mistakes. We can't keep trotting him out there like this.
He threw a couple of nice deep passes against NE. Both were intended for Coles and I thought he was interfered with both times. You didn't see any deep balls against Chicago because he didn't have the time to throw. I don't think that his arm is the problem. Might be more in his head. And he has to try to be more creative. Coles was open on that Urlacher pick but he "wasn't part of the progression". He has to keep his eyes open.
It looks to me too that his mechanics are off. Instead of stepping and throwing with his body, he's just heaving the ball. It's pretty ugly sometimes. Maybe I'm just being over-critical though, but when I see other QBs through with ease I gotta think that Chad is hurt and it's throwing off his delivery.
The next two games will be very telling, 28th ranked defense and the 31st in Houston and Green bay. If he can?t put up some kind of offensive effort then I think you?re going to see a change. I too was calling for his head out of anger but threes something wrong with penny, mentally or physically. The problem that I see is the Texans can put up more then ten points. Hope we see some offense!
I keep hearing that he is throwing with his body more which is probably screwing up his mechanics. All I know is that I'm ready for the flying Duck and Marshawn Lynch in our backfield in '07
