Last year, Wilson took steps in becoming an improved pocket passer, making his signature scrambles all the more deadly. This year, he hasn't built upon his pocket passing as many people expected.
Soooo can you really improve pocket passing ability with no pocket?

He has a pocket more often than is commonly acknowledged. He just doesn't stay in it.

There was talk that Baldwin ran the wrong route on that one.

Found this on the Carolina board, worth a read (although dated 2012)

Maybe it's time for new QB coach?

10% - Russell's distractions over contracts, demands of a celebrity, and general focus challenges
40% - Poor and unpredictable O-Line play, from a half-baked O-line
10% - Familiarity and chemistry with receivers
10% - Marshawn Lynch not 100% for numerous games
30% - We've played very, very good teams, they've had better game plans for us, and been extra fired up
00% - Fire Bevell, he sucks. Except he sucks about the same as the previous 3 years.
If you look at these factors, we'll be fine once...
- Russell gets his full focus back (he's there now)
- The O-Line develops and sucks less, or at least sucks in ways Russell can predict and adjust for; it's slowly improving
- Russell gets the chemistry down better with Graham, Lockett, Richardson (already there with Baldwin and Kearse); he will soon.
- Lynch gets healthy enough to be a consistent factor; not holding my breath, and our rookie Rawls is doing nicely
- It does get a little easier from here out, but we've played down to other teams also
- Bevell isn't really the difference or the problem at this time, as much as he can suck; but if he improves he could be part of the solution.
Overall, the offense sucking is why we're 4-5. Our D is on the field way too much and gets worn down. A QB like Palmer with the terrific receivers he has, or Dalton and his receivers, can take advantage of a gassed Seahawks D.
