The more I read about DA the more I am reminded of Jeff Blake. One good year and he rode that rep till the wheels fell off.

We called him Leon because of his me-first attitude. He did however help but Anquan on the map in 2003 by throwing some bombs. :)

Blake had about the same rep as DA. Good at throwing deep but inaccurate on shorter stuff. Or was it the other way around. I try not to think about those days too much.

What I do remember is all the people who thought that losing Plummer was no big deal because Blake would be a better "caretaker". Took care all right. 3-10 as a starter with a 69 QB rating. Besides he was a jerk.

Everything written about Jeff Blake had "he throws a good deep ball" in it. He had zero touch on the ball.

I think DA last game was trying to put some touch on the ball. If he can learn to do that then maybe his overall game will improve. A lot to ask, but the coaches may have seen him do it in practice already?
