No question about that.
To win he'll need to take more chances, but he will also need this Offensive Line to give him time to go through his reads.
He's not turning the ball over so I suppose all isn't lost.

I have a feeling that after the Oakland game, he was basically told not to turn the ball over, which is leading to a lot of the hesitation. When a coach is constantly pounding into your head that turnovers are unacceptable, you are not going to be taking chances, especially with this O.
The reason Trent Green had so many INTs his first year here was that Vermeil was installing a super aggressive passing offense, which preaches throwing downfield and taking chances. They didn't stray too far from that even though the first year they didn't have the talent they needed. Right now you've got to question how these guys are being coached...
