I guess I am not seeing this horrible "footwork" - it seems the INT's that he has thrown mostly come from not giving up on the play and trying to squeeze passes into very tight windows. That is a product of a decision that he felt comfortable with as he was playing to win.
Am I missing a ton of tape where he is off-balanced and looks like a tanglefoot back there passing? What rookie QB's come out and Don't need to improve on their technique?
It seems this "footwork" narrative has become a blanket statement to use as an attack on this kid by the same people stating he is Not a winner since he played on a team lacking real talent besides himself. |
You should be grateful for those criticisms. If they didn't exist, he would be the #1 overall pick. Pat should also be grateful for those criticisms. They will help him improve and he ended up with a great organization instead of arguably the worst organization in the NFL (Cleveland). He is very lucky to have the opportunity to learn from Andy Reid, Alex Smith, and the rest of Andy's coaching staff.
