Apparently Worley didn't throw. Dobbs looked better on some short stuff, there was a comment made about him not getting spin on his throws. Peterman had some good deep throws. Most interesting thing I've read: AJ Johnson got some reps as QB in the Big Johnson/Beast Package. Oh ya.
The criteria used to critique Dobbs is asanine at times. His arm is 10Xs better than Worley's yet we get garbage about how his ball "lacks spin."
Dobbs can throw the shit out of a football. Obviously I want him to get the nod but regardless of anyone's opinion of him as a player, VQ and their disciples have been rooting against him since the initial Ferg stories Hubbs' typed with his erect penis last summer.
And as for Peterman. His ultimate shit the bed outing last year where he was impotent with what looked like fear made it impossible for me to believe that we are even considering him. If so, we should immediately go to a single-wing. He may be a practice All-American, but I struggle to recall a more shitty performance when the pressure was on. He may look like & practice like Tarzan, but I'd be more willing to play Jane over him. I don't think there's a sports psychologist alive that could fix what I saw.
Worley did throw, so I'm guessing it was a rest day. Butch said they were giving all of them pitch counts, so maybe its a weekly thing.
For not throwing, Worley sure did throw a lot. Overall, I see improvement from the QB's. [youtube]y7y5d3X7tsI[/youtube]
After watching the video, I found myself thinking the same thing. Perhaps the QB issue is less the QBs than it is the receivers. When the ball literally hits you in the hands and you don't catch it, not much a QB can do. Opponents won't let the QB walk down the field with he ball on silver platter and hand it to the receiver with a napkin and a cup of tea.
I am suddenly reminded of 2005. When you have no confidence the QBis going to get you the ball, you tend to be unprepared when it does get there.
Let us hope (and pray if that is your proclivity) that the running game can take a lot of the load off of our QBs.
This is absolutely correct, but it's not just an uncertainty as to if it's going to get to you, but where it's going to be, if even near you. Maybe have to come back, because it's thrown behind. Maybe have to leap, because it's overthrown. Maybe dive because it's in the dirt / too far in front. Or, maybe you're just worrying about playing DB to prevent the INT. My favorite Worley throws (Dobbs had some too, last season) are when its so poorly thrown that the intended receiver makes no movement to get to it, at all, but just watches it, thinking it must be to someone else, and didn't want to interfere with it. Usually, the new "intended receiver" is a defender.
