Oh hey look. Worthy with an excellent route to get open and the QB just misses him again.
How many times are we gonna show Worthy getting open and the QB missing him before we admit there’s a QB problem? All the “”Worthy regressing” talk is misinformed. He’s open. Every. Single. Game. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">A shaky LT brought back the shaky pocket presence from 15<br><br>Once he recognizes blitz & man coverage, he should feel a chance for Worthy breaking open over the middle<br><br>Big-play potential if Worthy's hit in rhythm here, instead an off-balance throw to a covered Kelce <a href="https://t.co/a9beX1ucIb">pic.twitter.com/a9beX1ucIb</a></p>— Ron Kopp Jr. (@Ron_Kopp) <a href="https://twitter.com/Ron_Kopp/status/1856193338287743193?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 12, 2024</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> |

That was one of those Skyy Moore "look at the separation!!!" routes where I think the issue was timing. It's possible that Worthy's entire purpose there was to A) draw coverage out of the middle of the field and then B) make him self available as part of a scramble drill that simply never materialized. I think there's been quite a bit of really bad analysis of this game, to be honest. Even some of the conclusions that agree with me have relied on really tenuous logic. |

Based on the flat footed LB and S drifting backward, Pat should have anticipated Hopkins clearing and coming open. He appears to be looking right at that bunch. I have to assume he was actually peeking at the pass rush. Or he figured the outside CB would drop into coverage and undercut Hopkins’ route..? Idk. That’s what I would assume given how the LB and S react post-snap. Even if that’s the case, Pat has the arm to rifle a throw in there that only Hop could catch. |
Oh, I see there was an end zone view on that video as well..
He never even looked at Hopkins. He was locked in on Kelce. Obviously I’m just guessing but I bet he knew about the TD record and tried force feeding it to Kelce there. |

As soon as he sees the DB get underneath the rub and stay in Kelce's pocket, he tucks and runs. 1 read and jet - don't love seeing that. |

Not disagreeing, and let's remember Pat has a dinged up ankle; he's probably not excited about getting hit, maybe having some 300-lb. dude/multiple dudes land on top of him/his ankle. Maybe that's making him a little skittish as well, who knows? But it's also a documented fact that Pat sometimes just gets happy feet and bails early for no real reason. Been doing it his entire career. It's like he anticipates the protection breaking down and tries to get ahead of it. Sees ghosts, I guess. He just usually fixes it eventually. Man, I had a feeling DHop got open on that one EZ play, though the broadcast version didn't show it. Makes me cringe to see him standing there wide open with his hands in the air while Pat runs away from him. Ack. |

Wanna get your ankle dicked up? Keep leaving the pocket. That's a HELL of a lot more likely to get that ankle wrenched than standing tall and firing is. It's no different than the QB sneak. Our refusal to just let him sneak the ball has gotten him blasted on speed options and bootlegs a half dozen times. You're gonna get hit out there. Trying to avoid one kind of contact is just going to subject you to some other, likely more unnatural, form of it. |
That's an Alex Smith pumpkin performance from Pat.

I'd agree with all of that. I'm just saying, when you're hurt, you sometimes act instinctively to protect yourself. It may not be the smartest thing or the most rational thing, but sometimes the anticipation of pain can make a person do dumb/irrational things in the heat of the moment. I mean, I'm pretty sure that Pat knows that he did plenty of irrational things in that game that he'd love to be able to go back and change. |

It sounds dumb but I wish I could chain his legs down at the end of his dropback. Just force him to live in the pocket and solve his problems from there without his legs bailing him out.
Like, father time is going to catch him eventually, he's gotta learn to stand in there longer at some point. |
