Sorry but I call bully e. Some of you feel the need to prop the kid up because he's taken a beating and rightfully so on this board.
He made a few plays today. He only turned the ball over once and he wasted fewer plays than usual due to happy feet and indecisivenes in the pocket. He didn't lose the game for us. He has provided a legitimate passing threat in the last two games. All good things.
But many of you in this thread are completely ignoring that the MAJOR difference in our offense today....the reason that we scored 37 points....the reason that we finally got our running game going....the reason we won was Foxx. Yes it was a team effort but if Whitmer plays the entire game we lose. So its not a backhanded compliment, its just facts. I'm proud of the offensive line and happy to see Whitmer make a few plays but it was a collective effort at QB and if we're going to win more games we will need to see a lot more of Foxx.
So you're saying that our QB and our passing game improved when we had some semblance of a running game? Genius - we should have done that earlier this year.
Fact is Whitmer has improved this year. 9:4 TD:INT ratio. Less sacks as the year goes on (which is also a function of the OL) and positive yardage running the ball. Better decision making overall.
