Yet, the tipping point in the Russell-vs-Flynn debate was a preseason game where he played Peyton-Manning-at-his-best from the pocket all day before he was ever even named the starter.Scottemojo":31y7oa3e said:I think it has been mostly Russ. He has had to ignore his own tendencies to get this rhythm game.
I don't buy it. I think our coaching staff has been overly conservative with his passing development and that he actually would have been better off with a little more trial by fire as far as passing more goes, but I don't have any solid factual evidence to base this on; call it a hunch.
Certainly our highly mediocre (at best) pass protection that Russell has had for his NFL career to date has played a role, too.
