It's easy, and only takes a few moments.This article proves that easterbrook never knew anything, doesn't now, and never will know, a damn thing about football. Every few years, know-nothings predict running QBs will soon dominate the scene.:snob:
The reality is that the runners get hurt and most vanish; but there are a few who learn how to become productive pocket passers.
The first job for a QB is to be able to throw and complete passes.
I always read Easterbrook as I find some of his writing entertaining (I have to skip his poilical and space ramblings, however). However, it always irks me that while praising his genius, he takes regular digs at BB and the Pats in general along the "cheating" or "bad sportsmanship" lines. This week he saved it for the end of the column where he talked about the end of the Carolina game where Gronk was held, but pointed out that this week Gronk wasn't held on the same play, but instead pushed off and got away with offensive PI in the endzone. Then he speculates that the reason the Carolina guy held Gronk was to avoid being shoved himself. Huh? And after the Pittsburgh game BB was chided for running up the score (a regular complaint of TMQ about BB), but I haven't seen one complaint about Denver (or anyone else who won by a large margin) doing that this year. He also failed to mention that the Pats weren't chucking it at the end of the Pittsburgh game, but were running (and running down the clock) and Pittsburgh had given up. Usually his running-up-the-score rant has to do with the Pats chucking it everywhere, but since the Pittsburgh game didn't fit the mold he didn't mention how they were scoring.
His compliments to the Pats are back-handers, but somehow I can't look away...
I may be from Bahrain ,,but i really hate Gregg Easterbrook .
kaep looked fined to me last night.
I wish people wouldn't post stuff from this tool. His Spygate stuff was insufferable, and I'm not even sure that's the worst of his journalistic transgressions.
F*** him. There is no such thing as a good read by Easterbrook. Shame on you for suggesting it's possible.
But I'm not bitter.

Yes, but not because of his running (9 carries for 20 yards) or the read option. He was more accurate throwing the ball downfield than he has been all year - though some of that may have had to do with Washington's defense as well.
