Limiting the offensive game plan?

[Cyberjag]

Just curious about this.

When Moore started in 2008, didn't we dumb down the offensive playbook for him?

If so, have they done the same for Clausen and Pike when they are in?

Moore never started a game in 2008, except maybe Jan 2008.

but to answer your question, they probably dumb it down because the QB's can't make the throws for the whole playbook. I doubt the Panthers passing playbook is that big anyway, probably like half a page written on the back of a McDonald's cheeseburger wrapper.

Doh, you're right. 2007 is what I was thinking of.

I was just wondering if they're doing anything to make it easier on the quarterbacks now--cutting down on the decisions they have to make, etc...

You would think it's abbreviated somewhat, allowing the rookie to get some basics and gradually expand with play variations, that makes tons of sense. If we could only get a close up view of that QB wristband to see how many numbers are on it.

My guess: 1: run up the middle, 2: run right, 3: run left, 4: throw it away, 5: throw a pick, 6: punt, 7: fumble snap, 8: fumble RB exchange on play 1, 2, or 3; and 9: one-hop it to Steve Smith.

That's it.

There was a disney movie back in the 70's with Mule that could kick a field goal from 90 yards out. The offensive game plan was get it to the 20, take three knees, and let the mule kick. Is that a simple enough game plan? And can we find a fg kicking mule?

Gus the Mule ! Sign him up.

How much more could it have possibly been "dumbed down" without going NCAA Div IA? WTF, it's been run, run, pass, punt for years now. Hell, everyone else in the NFL knows it...

There was an article last week in the Observer about this. It had to do with Moore, since he was the starter, but now just switch names. The article was about Davidson admitting he makes things as simple as possible for the QB.

[Anybodyhome]

It's that guy!

[Nicbsbll2]

How much more simple do you want things?? Our system already is: Run, Run, Incomplete Pass, Punt

[Guest DrewBreesIsGod]

how could you limit your playbook when it was already this?

OK, I admit it, i laughed.
