I honestly think he could've easily taken that inside the 15 down near the 10.
2. And the problem with the throw is that there was no real way for that WR to catch it. If he puts that ball in play, 25 can cut under the route for the pick. The only way that ball could've been caught is if he flips it out there and the WR does that Chris Carter toe stop and fall out of bounds. A) There are damn few WRs that can make that catch, B) There are very few QBs that can make that throw and C) there are zero that can make that throw with any regularity with a defender in their face.
3. It was just a really bad decision. This "well at least he tried" bullshit is nonsense. He tried that over and over again at Tennessee and went undrafted for those efforts. The NFL gives zero ****s about trying - they want results. The result of this play was bad and the result of that play will be that bad or worse 9 times out of 10.

1. I say that because there are two defenders (you can only see one of them) within 5 yards of Draughns and had Bray dumped it off they would have closed quickly. Sure, you can guess that it would have been a decent pick up but more likely, it would have been 4-5 yards or so.
2. Meh, you are speculating now. Like I said, Bray threw the ball to the outside so as to make it hard to intercept. He put too much mustard on it anyway and it was an incomplete pass. It was 1st down and if you are going to take a shot down field, that's the best down to try (basic football 101). Like I said, he at least got the defense thinking about the possibility of TD. He loosened them up a little on that play.
3. It's preseason dude. Who gives a rip if he goes downfield and it ends up as an incomplete pass? He didn't throw an INT. You really need to loosen up yourself, it's PRE-SEASON.
