Reading some of these comments is hilarious. Putting down McDowell on every play and every decision he makes that doesn't get a TD. But when Vidlak was playing, nobody complained about him, it was the o lines fault and the receivers not catching the ball. McDowell is part of the reason why we put up 28 points this game and 42 in the last game he started Meanwhile Vidlak was only able to put up 14 in the games he played in. Everyone hating on McDowell because his form doesn't look pretty but his stats show that he can and does complete more than Vidlak and when the o-line breaks down, he still gets us positive yards instead of just sitting back there to get sacked. You might not like McDowell for whatever stupid reason you make up but we win when he's playing and the offense looks way better and more productive.
You're missing a good chunk of context here saying he doesn't throw a pretty ball doesn't mean we think hes god awful, we just need him to improve to have a snowballs chance in hell to get some more wins this season. Also when Pease decided to use him correctly (rolling out ex.) he got better/it helped.
And Vidlaks sack WAS the O-Lines fault, they literally rushed 3 and kept getting to him, need to tone down the sensitivity.
