Lulay performed fine this year, and Jennings was good last year under the same coordinator. Look at Jennings qb rating, or just watch his play. He is clearly the worst starting qb in the league and has been a liability for the team this year. Big question mark going into next year.
There is blame on both sides. Jennings’ confidence is fragile and he is having trouble seeing the field. He needed quick, safe passing plays in the game plan to build his confidence. He didn’t get them, and he didn’t get any offensive momentum until it was too late.
Yes he does suck this year. Stop making excuses for players poor performances. Has Jones been poor with his play calling? Yes. Has our O-Line been awful? Absolutely. But Jennings has also looked very poor this year, making poor throws, telegraphing some of his throws, and making several poor reads. At this point I would say we should move on from him in the offseason. He's not worth the $300k that he's due next season.
Fair enough. Can we agree that a fresh start next year with a new offensive game plan with someone who knows how to utilize personnel and make in game adjustments will help a young QB?The_Pauser wrote: ↑Sat Oct 14, 2017 4:32 pmYes he does suck this year.

Esks open up the second half with an onside kick..... along the ground.... Oh well......Toppy Vann wrote: ↑Sat Oct 14, 2017 5:22 pm
The onside kick off is also the most brutal ever in the Lions history. Every knows where it's going so they get it. American kicker used so you'd think they'd find one or develop a National to actually work on this stuff. The Lions would be better to send it on the ground once in a while than kick it to the player standing where it's coming or kick it at the far hache mark into the crowd. Do freaking something different.
Agreed, he has been far above average. Wally's been a great coach for us until 2011 and last year when he came back. While some might criticize, his teams always came to play and made proper adjustments. This year however is a disaster and coaching is largely responsible for it. Love Wally, but with all talent we have we should be doing much better.KnowItAll wrote: ↑Sat Oct 14, 2017 5:40 pmin an 8 or 9 team league, 2 wins in 14 years is above average.PigSkin_53 wrote: ↑Sat Oct 14, 2017 4:02 pmThat's it that's all she wrote...another disastrous season, only this time the worst of all

Possibly. Or it's possible that Jennings just isn't that good. He had problems with interceptions last year, and those have gotten a lot worse this year. He's not looked at all like a competent starting QB this year. With him set to make $300k next year I would be looking to renegotiate that, or outright cut him and go hard after James Franklin.
Wally is a legend, and was a major reason why this team turned things around after the disaster that was the late 90's. His teams were always contenders, and our long playoff streak is a testament to his abilities as a coach. He's also shown a knack for releasing players just before their best before dates. Sometimes this has created controversy, but rarely has he ever come out of it looking wrong.ZLions wrote: ↑Sat Oct 14, 2017 5:59 pmAgreed, he has been far above average.

Perhaps his biggest flaw was not recognizing his own best before date?

Interceptions have been Jennings' Archilles
