Its really 2 years without any significant playing time.
80 pass attempts in the last 36 games.
It's truly hilarious the reaction of some towards his performance as it was never going to be great. QBing is all about timing and having a repoire with your receivers along with reacting to what you see. I doubt he has worked with most the wideouts for a couple years other than a few reps at the end of practices.
At any rate the game means literally nothing.
I like the idea of letting the guys get away for a week and a bit and just clear their heads and heal up. Come back and have a mini-camp for 10 days to get ready for the Lions or whoever. Get used to whatever the weather is doing at the time and then top this season with a GC game against the Eskimos...and just annihilate them.
