  1. Absolutely. But they had a unique recipe that worked. TEs worked the seams. A small, quick guy working the LOS, and some rando for the intermediate. So let me get this straight. Are you going to come here and tell us that the Patriots, outside of the Moss years, were a downfield passing team? Is that the business you are going to stand on?
  2. Lol. You guys HAVE TO lay off the stats. You know damn well outside of the Moss era Brady made his money in the short to intermediate passing game. There are 1000 ways to get to 8.6 yards per attempt.
  3. Yep. A huge chunk of Ewers missed downfield throws were on the same route combo where the deep guy is running a big post. He threw it vertical every. damn. time. He was very good with true verticals on his right side, and missed quite a few true verticals on his left.
  4. Its a fade. The receiver is supposed get vertical while leaving a few yards to his outside and not allow the DB to walk him to the sideline. QB is supposed to hit the receiver on the outside shoulder, guiding him away from the defender so he cannot break up the pass. Where the defender is determines where the throw should be. If the defender is on top of the receiver then the QB should throw the fade to the back shoulder. If the defender is on his hip you throw it upfield and to the outside shoulder. Literally a perfect throw.
  5. As I said previously. There was nothing magic about it. The more receivers on the field the easier it is to throw the football. Colt was a regular passer his first two years until we decided to start playing primarily 4 wide receivers. That's when his completion percentage went through the roof. Once he got into the pros and went back to passing out of pro sets his passer rating went back down. It was as simple as that. About Quinn's reads its the opposite. He goes through his progressions TOO fast. He needs to slow down and not come off reads so early. Probably because he was worried about the pass rush.
  6. I will not let you dodge the question. You challenged what I said about completion percentages and accuracy. I will not let you dodge the question. In Colt's first two years he was a mid 60's completion percentage passer. His last two years his completion percentage jumped to the 70's. What changed to make that happened and then changed back when he got to the pros? Answer the question.
  7. Also @Derka in that same game they put up a stat that I will post as a screenshot below. Ewers averaging 14 air yards per to start that game. Again, as I said above this happened repeatedly this season. Our base offense was a lot of 12 personnel out of tight or bunch sets. Our passing offense looked most fluid when we spread out with receivers outside the hashes. However, that is not Sark's offense so we never ran full games like that. But again, you are too filled with hate for the guy to see what is right in front of your face.
  8. Okay listen dumb ass. Sometimes you need to leave the conversation to people that understand football. If you are in 12 personnel. You know double tight ends on the field, and most of the time running some type of play action where one of them stays in to block, you are going to be looking at 3 receivers out in routes vs your opponent dropping 7. Now I know this is hard for you to grasp but 3 receivers vs 7 dropping is more difficult than 5 receivers vs 7 dropping. Why? Because your opponent has the ability to double team all three, vs with 5 3 of them are single covered. PLUS 5 wide makes the defense have to declare their coverage. That is not an excuse. That is simple football 101. The NFL used to have completion percentages in the 50's back before they realized 3 and 4 receivers was a good idea. Now, there are examples of this in multiple games this year where Sark would open it up for a quarter or two and inexplicably start calling heavy runs sets and grind the offense to a halt. Go look at the second Georgia game. Watch the first quarter and change where Ewers was 11-15 for 169. We were playing fast and pretty open. Now, since you don't seem to see logic in what I am telling you, explain why Colt's completion percentage jumped from the 60's to the 70's his first two years to his last two years. Then explain why his NFL career percentage was back down to 62%. What did we do differently? I will wait patiently for your answer.
  9. Your completion percentage is going to be lower throwing out of heavy run sets all the time. Less targets on the field equal tighter throwing windows. For an example of this see the jump in Colt McCoy's completion percentage when they made the switch to 4 wide his junior year, and then back down to earth once he got in the pros and running pro sets again. There is no magic elixir.
  10. I don't think it's that hard to evaluate. Teams just get caught up with measurables. From there its "we spent this much on this kid so we have to give him time" and "we didn't spend much on this kid so we need to move on as quickly as possible if it looks shaky".
  11. Yeah. How we responded dictated how the world responded as well. Us throwing our hands up instead of coming up with solution as to how to keep the world going didn't help at all.
  12. Who said Quinn threw 80 yards? Or that he was in middle school?
  13. Advanced stats are only semi useful because they don't tell you things like what kind of routes was the guy inaccurate on or what sets he was throwing out of. I said this before but it needs repeating. Some guys spend their whole college careers throwing to stationary receivers or pass friendly sets which makes them look more accurate. Hitting a deep dig or a flattened post is a lot harder than hitting a skinny post or vertical. Advanced metrics don't account for that. This simple truth is why so many NFL evaluators miss so wildly on quarterbacks.
  14. 14 is high school. My daughter was 14 in high school. She will just have turned 18 a week before she graduates.
  15. Imma, if there is one thing you know about me is that. I don't give a shit.
  16. I wasn't asking political questions at 21. I know for a fact I bedded some vapid "Pam Bondi"s in my day as they befriended me on the socials later. Pearl and cross wearing Republicans now.
  17. LCHorn. Come on man. This isn't DT so don't treat it like it is. I am for global trade but with some brakes on it in certain industries. We just tossed them everything, and if you don't recognize that then I don't know what to tell you. It's not about kids pressing buttons in a Levi's factory. It's about letting them peek behind the tech curtain and then undercut the industry after stealing intellectual property. Some industries could afford to pay domestic manufacturing costs but then their CEOs wouldn't be able to make 400% what the workers' wages were. We aren't just talking about widgets here. Look man, we were full speed ahead on deregulation of the corporate machine in the 90's. Check out what the CEO income was pre 90's and then check it again circa 2002. The 90's played a huge part in creating MAGA even though Obama put the cherry on top.
  18. Yep. The speed of which they are doing this is going to be their undoing. They don't get a single group subdued before moving on to the next. All that does is piss off both groups and make allies against you. Keep rolling MAGA. You are doing a great job!
  19. People like me huh? People like me took the full brunt of the 94 Crime Bill, by a Democrat. People like me were pushed into subprime loans because of the Fannie and Freddie Home Ownership Strategy, by a Democrat. People like me remember it was a Democrat that signed NAFTA, a Democrat that let China into the WTO, and a Democrat that signed Glass-Steagall reform. Lastly, people like me have sat by and watched Nancy Pelosi's Net Worth grow to over 200 million. Now we all know that the Republicans are far worse, but to ignore the 900lb Gorilla in the room is irresponsible. In our lifetimes the Democrats have ALSO made a rightward shift instead of standing on their own bidness. They have alienated their base in an effort to attract centrists and moderate republicans, allowing the republicans to move further and further rightward. You can ignore this if you want to but it doesn't make it go away. Have they been the only party advocating for what you laid out? Sure, but when nothing gets done people remember what you DID do. 2016 happened because her last name was Clinton. Had it been Jones Trump never becomes President.
