This, THIS, is the type of play that I KNOW he can make but didn't nearly enough this year. A layered throw with touch, right on the money.
Add in the pocket manipulation(not scrambling, but doing more what Dak does now...sliding, avoiding the rush, buying just a half second more to get the ball off) is a thing of fucking beauty.
Actually, this is a TOUGHER throw than the ones I'm usally on my soap box about(the wide open crossers and slants that are just "Off" throws.)
He does THIS more and he's going to be a fucking stud.
Absolutely...maybe it is just the pocket. But if he makes more throws like this, and not the ones where he misses a wide open crosser, or throws a slant the WR's feet and he'll unlock the offense, and his game, even more.
Well Bama did lose 3 games last year and missed the playoffs too...and honestly, lost 2 games it shouldn't have this year. Even OSU/Georgia missed the playoffs a couple years ago. Sometimes you just have a step back...it wasn't much of one considering how bad the OL/Running Game, and even the QB was for stretches. They still won 9 games, and went 3-2 vs the Top 10 while going 3-0 over our Rivals.
If this is a down year, I can't wait for a "not so down" year, lol.
I know we ALL thought Arch had overthrown this after making an amazing play to escape the pocket...but the much maligned Wingo made a great fucking catch here too. Sometimes you just need both guys to help each other out.
