In reply to: Because there was no pocket * posted by acrossdmiddle
on quite a few drop backs. There were thows there to be had and time to make them. He did not show me the ability to anticipate and throw receivers open.
His first INT was a result. Bailed the pocket and did not anticipate the receiver coming open into space. He waited until he saw him open then made the throw...too late the corner made the read and the pick
Plus, I’m not sure he’s tall enough to throw effectively from a collapsing pocket, or big enough to absorb the punishment.
... I don’t think they can have him out there on passing plays anymore.
I’ll cut the kid some slack - he was playing quarterback not too long ago and now he’s being asked to locate and turn back corner and linebacker blitzes.
You would think the coaching staff would know that going in. I blame them.
he seems to be fine in pass protection this year.
