I like Davis, but he is what he is, and what we see is likely what we get. I don't expect him to develop into a franchise QB, so we need a healthy Sam or a need guy to be the long term answer.
I'm still not sure. I've seen franchise QBs have worse games when they got hit like Davis. He still made some plays and throws in this game that were just "wow" worthy. I want to see whether he can improve...he's essentially a rookie. He's a bit over-aggressive at times but using your check-down usually is something that comes with experience.
I'm not basing that off this game, but rather probability that an undrafted guy who was cut from multiple teams and essentially brought in as a last resort will develop into a franchise QB. Just not likely.
Davis wasn't perfect and definitely could have done much better, but P. Manning was just a guy in the Super Bowl with this kind of support. Thinking that a Different QB will fix this team is a little delusional IMHO.
One guy will never beat 105 playing against him plus how ever many refs are in on the fix in a game.
OUTSTANDING is a bit much don't you think?Davis is just a guy. This is an outstanding receiving corps with a 3rd string QB. This was a winnable game that he couldn't win.
Davis and SCHOTTY lost this game.
That's exactly how i would describe our defense. They've literally done that.He is Chad Henne, Chad Pennington, Matt Cassell, Christian Ponder, Charlie Whitehurst, Matt Flynn, etc. etc. etc.
He won't win you a game, but he sure as hell can lose you a few.
In your mind....At what point in this game was it winnable? Before or after Davis lead the offense to a 14-0 lead?Davis is just a guy. This is an outstanding receiving corps with a 3rd string QB. This was a winnable game that he couldn't win.
What do you expect when you know the game is stacked against you. The players know what we know here, they see the film. They understand that penalties against the opponent won't be called, while phamtom penalties against them will be. I'm sure it's well known issue inside the current Rams facility. So, when you already exist within that reality, and then a phantom OPI is called on a huge offensive play, young players are going to throw their hands up. Quite frankly, I don't blame them. In those conditions, everyone is simply playing for a paycheck, because getting emotionally involved in a rigged event is to set your self up for devastation.Can't blame the kid. He has issues but the guy got hit again all day long. The whole team just seemed utterly defeated in the 2nd half.
