Let's revisit this on today's TD to Foster to show that, yes, Allen is learning. Foster breaks wide open on a deep slant and Allen lays the ball out there instead of the bullet throw. Foster has no difficulty tracking and adjusting. Allen also laid one up for Croom. In fact, I think he did it a lot today. At least, that was my impression. I thought he played his best game throwing the ball today and they made him throw. Lions contained him on the ground.

Yeah not everything needs to be a bullet is the dead horse around here. I've seen some posters suggest they teach receivers to catch his passes vs teach him some touch and I don't think that is going to work. They need these to start connecting to be legitimate deep threat.
I think Allen has made some progress throwing with less velocity. Sitting for a few games may have helped. He saw Barkley throw soft balls and get completions. With that said, I think Allen has some feel for putting touch on the ball. Even going back to his Senior Bowl highlights...he threw some nice balls with touch. I think some of it his mindset. He sees that Foster play and thinks "TD" and really does more than needed Just a little quicker recognition/reaction will help too. He'll learn.

Pretty condescending post thrown at you. I agree with that point. But when Josh is throwing such a low arc it makes it harder for the WR to do what you say. He puts air in the ball and goes a bit longer on it.. it's a slower play albeit but it's easier for the QB and WRs to recognize that acceleration to where the ball is going to go no?
I don't know my Xs and O's like you do.. just an observance so correct me if I'm wrong. But Phillip Rivers throws throws these comical floaters that work so well. I have to imaging JA and Foster would be better off floating it up there focusing on the completion even if it doesn't net a home run.
When the man is beat, he's beat. Phillip understands when he arcs it, the margin for error is significantly reduced and he's more concerned with getting the completion first and letting the WR do what your saying with an easier level of difficulty
Good video. You can see that Rivers recognizes and throws quickly. He takes something off the ball and the receiver slows slightly to make the catch and then regains speed after he has the ball. The one thing you don't want to do is overthrow. Give your guy a chance.

That was my impression. To someones point earlier, sure, Foster didn't accelerate like the best in the game.. but Allen just didn't arc the ball for Foster to have more time to be able to kick it into that gear. Would have been great if he was dead accurate: ball gets to him faster. But lofting the ball higher and a little farther makes it so much easier for both QB and WR.. even if it slows the play down so that it's not a TD, focus on getting the catch.
This. That ball doesn't have to be perfect with single coverage and the man beat. It could be a little inside, outside, or even slightly short as long as the wr can adjust. The receiver has a huge advantage here for a catch or a PI penalty. Focus on the catch.

Once the receiver breaks open he's going to look for the ball. Best thing QBs can do with single coverage is put air under the ball and let the receiver adjust to it. Allen can throw that a little earlier and a little easier. He's learning that most throws don't have to be rockets.

I called DTV a couple of weeks ago and they had no discounts for ST. They quoted me me price of $250. The lady told me to call back at the 1st of the month when they might have new "specials", which I did. Again I was told that there were no discounts. I told the gentleman (nicely) that I needed to cancel my service immediately. I owed them 11 months on contract, so I would have to pay $220. I said fine. They sent my confirmation of cancelation email but never actually turned the service off. The next afternoon I got a call from them asking what the problems was. I told them about ST and the woman immediately gave me ST Max for free, and I wasn't even asking for the Max package. She then asked if they could help in any other way and I told them I'd like to keep the bill as low as possible. She gave me $10 off my bill, lowering the payment to $43 (pre tax) a month. She also gave me HBO, Max, and Showtime free for 3 months. Last night I'm flipping through channels and it looks like I'm also on some upgraded package because I've got a bunch of other new channels that I didn't have since I first started the service. The lady told me this was a one year contract, so not sure if this is an additional year or just the year I already owed them. Anyway, couldn't be happier!!

I don't think he's worth more than Murphy at 7.5 per year. I wouldn't pay more than that with his production.
