Never take seriously people who blame all of Mac's woes on this Oline
In this game, 90% of the time he has had pressure he has had at least 1 good matchup or easy outlet to get rid of the ball to.
On the last sack, he had Rhamondre coming uncovered in the same direction the pressure was coming from, but he just didnt anticipate it.
He just does not see it. His pre-snap reads are easily among the worst in the league and its one of their core problems
Which brings up an important point- that Bill never got Mac a serious veteran backup
It was really dumb going into the season with Bailey Zappe as the backup to a struggling young QB.
Where is the veteran leadership and mentorship in that QB room? Not that Andy Dalton would have turned Mac and Zappe into franchise QBs, but young players need mentorship sometimes. They need guys that can help them both on and off the field.
I dont even want to imagine what tape study sessions are like with 2 young, struggling, frustrated QBs that cant help each other and are facing the end of their NFL careers together.
