I strong disagree. First of all. The play calling whether it's Bevell or whether is Carroll influencing Bevell has not aided the passing game one bit. For example on Saturday, after Wilson missed Tate on a slant, Bevell called 8 straight runs. That's not how you help your QB get in rhythm. A lot of that game was run, run, pass punt. The QB is at a huge disadvantage when the defense knows he's passing and his receivers aren't great at getting separation.
And maybe talking about what could've been with Percy isn't relevant, but Sidney Rice and his 6'4" frame sure would be nice right about now, would you agree? I really like our guys, but none of our healthy guys are #1 type receivers. I would even argue that Percy when healthy isn't a true #1. Imagine what this team would be accomplishing right now had they traded for Josh Gordon. He would be huge! This team definitely needs to either draft or trade for a legitimate number one receiver in the offseason.
I agree partially with your retort. Since Sidney got hurt I knew a "big WR" was a top priority for the upcoming off season.
Saturday in particular was sloppy, but you cant deny that due to inclimate weather and the strength of the running game, some dropped balls, and simply the flow of the game that these were the sole reasons we couldn't pass the ball as effectively.
Tell me one thing that Sidney does that Kearse can't. Give me one skill set that Sidney has, that Kearse doesn't...
Josh Gordon being huge??? That's speculation. You have no real idea what exactly he would've done in Seattle, based on scheme alone, not mention all the other things that the butterfly effect causes.
Bev has had bad timing on his calls on 2nd and long and in the red zone as of late yes, but you aren't thinking about his body of work in totality. He is certainly capable, and though he's had his woes as of late, for the sake of Russell's progression, I would vow he and Tom Cable are the coordinators you would want overspend on to keep here.
