Kolb has looked overly-skittish ever since he took that huge hit on the bomb to Fitz in week 2. It's gotten so bad that he's starting to go down or turn backwards before he gets hit, like he did on the no look pass to Doucet for a first down and his interception.
One of the main problems with the system Whis runs is that it requires QBs to take an inordinate amount of hits. As we've all witnessed many times, he loves to send everyone out and have the QB get rid of the ball right before they gets blasted. Very few QBs are wired to fit that sort of system, and forcing a QB into it can have grave results on their psyche. It's why Whis loved Max Hall so much. The guy was willing to take an inhuman amount of punishment, even though he lacked the skills of even a backup QB. But, eventually, Hall went into self-preservation mode and started checking down more, so Whis lost interest. #7 had his flaws when he got here, but a lack of confidence wasn't one of them. He bordered on over-confident most of the time. A couple years with Whis seemed to tear him down completely.
Until Whis gets his hands on another throwback, future hall of famer like Warner or a physical freak of nature like Big Ben, I think any QB is going to struggle to take the kind of punishment this system requires. Cam Newton would fit into the freak of nature category. Kevin Kolb isn't close to fitting into either of them.
So you don't think assistants, let alone coordinators, mean anything to the team? I guess you're right, Buddy Ryan as a coordinator never did anything. Mike Martz had zero to do with the gsot. While I recognize that the d was the strength of Pitts SB, Whiz's o made big plays throughout the playoffs, and was great with ball control and rushing every year he was there.
