Mike McCoy criticism


Matt Foley

Recommended Posts

Why is everybody ripping on ex-quarterback coach Mike McCoy? He helped Jake develop into a more-than-servicable starter for several years. Remember when Jake had one of the top playoff ratings of all time?

Besides, his wife always came to training camp in see-through attire and no undergarments. :D

Which Jake? Good game jake or bad game down into the depths of hell jake?

Jake was among the top two or three QBs when he hurt his elbow in Atlanta two years ago. At that point, if he had never come back to play again, you would have said "Man, we got a whole hell of a lot out of that guy considering he sat behind Aaron Effing Brooks for however long."

You know, when you think about it, this all should be painfully obvious. You had a quarterback who wasn't the most physically gifted to begin with. He injures his elbow...Tommy John surgery. Why didn't we all see this coming? Maybe the question shouldn't have been "Can he make it back?" but rather "Why try?" Seriously.

Elbow surgery for a QB is like knee or ankle surgery for an RB. He's got to feel that throw as if nothing ever happened to his elbow before.

I personally don't think Jake's issues are tied to his elbow. He played pretty well last year except for like 2 or 3 regular season games and of course the AZ game... then he comes out this year and stinks it up right to start with. I think that there's some sort of mental block/confidence thing that he's going thru. The AZ game really shook him and the Philly game turned out the same and he looked like a man in shock out there on the field.

Several Panther coaches noted that Jake's arm appeared stronger after his surgery and recovery. Prior to his surgery, Jake was basically playing with a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament, which made his arm weaker. Not to mention the pain involved in warming up the arm to throw. I suspect Jake's slight loss of arm strength has more to do with the aging process, than lingering effects form his surgery. Jake's main problem is mental imo. We all do stupid sh#t from time to time if we panic. The key is to make Jake feel safe behind the o-line, and give him confidence building passes.
