I honestly don't feel that Casey Printers is going to end up doing more than what Maas did in Hamilton. The problem with the ticats the past few years has clearly not been at QB. Going through Khari Jones, Danny McManus, Kevin Eakin, Marcus Brady, Richie Williams, Rocky Butler, Jason Maas, and recently Timmy Chang since 2005, the ticats seem to have a fascination with constantly changing the QB, but still finding no success. Perhaps the franchise should entertain the idea that the problem lies elsewhere; o-line, WRs, offensive scheme rather than expecting a QB to step up and make the difference.
In my honest opinion, Printers is a slight upgrade over Maas at QB due to his scrambling ability, but is it really worth the extra $200,000 or so?
I'm beginning to think there is too much hype around Printers, sure he had one good season in '04, but thats all hes known for(or proven). Mass did the same thing in '04.
Printers 65.8% completion, 5088 yards passing, 35TDs, 10 INTs, 115.0 QB eff.
Maas 65.8% completion, 5270 yards passing, 31 TDs, 14 INTs, 105.1 QB eff.
I still don't see Printers leading this team to much of a better record than what they currently have. I'll repeat once again, I don't think Hamilton has a QB problem, the problem relies with the rest of the offence! I believe i may be proven right, when Hamilton continues to struggle(or imrpoves only slightly) with Printers, and when Maas plays significantly better than he is now for a different team(assuming he is traded)
Your thoughts?
