Sorry, but there is a difference between putting the ball on the receiver and area code accuracy...just because it touches a receiver does not make a pass accurate...otherwise EJ Manuel would have been one of the most accurate passers in NFL history. ?
And btw Joe, the graphic from behind the QB actually proves my point of the pass being low and away...so to answer your question, no- I don’t tire of being wrong...because I was right. ?
If your definition of a drop is hitting the receiver in the hand, then yes...but I could also understand arguments the other way as well....and even if you decide to classify it as a drop, it still doesn’t change the fact that Allen’s throw was not as accurate as it could have been with a clean pocket and a wide open receiver...that should have been a 50 yard catch and run...and it’s throws like that that keep Allen hovering around 50% completions....if he can fix that in the offseason, sky is the limit with this kid.?
Exactly what I thought...low and away and far from a perfect throw... but with a little more effort on Clay’s part, the catch could have been made...great screen shot here.
The pass to Clay was catchable, but it was, most definitely, not perfect...in fact, in real time, it appeared low and away...but with a little more effort, the catch could have been made.
It’s easy to be a critic of Allen because you don’t have to do any work- it’s all there in the numbers...it’s actually harder to be optimistic about his future success when you take emotion out of it, and just based on the numbers.
I agree the wr’s need to play better and make catches... but JA also needs to have better ball placement as well...it works both ways...and in my observation JA had better ball placement in the first quarter.
