lol
This is embarrassing considering Kelly's a vet. A trolling vet but a vet nonetheless. You'd think he doesn't want anymore bad press, no pun intended. Obviously not an RPO lol
2)Lol you got a disagree for that post.
1)Definitely have to be careful who you watch/believe.Lazar is making too many meta-assumptions.
Look, we can see issues that we think are problems. But we can't see what the QB sees, when he sees it. And we can't know what the QB is supposed to be seeing, because we can't know the play. It's relatively easy to read receivers and running backs. It's more difficult to read TEs and OLs.
For example, Brady throws out to White down by the goal line. Most people call that a bad throw by Brady. But how many people know that we've seen that pass before, and that White has, in the past, made a much less lazy route out of it, with a sharper break to the sideline? Instead of just drifting towards coverage, White has used a harder cut in order to gain more separation and, at the same time, making himself an easier target to hit. Does that mean that White got it wrong and Brady's throw was fine? No, but it means that such might have been the case.
For example, Brady throws low to Sanu, and Sanu has to reach way down to catch the ball, resulting in him going to the ground after the catch. We hear/see people calling it a bad throw by Brady. But how many people (besides Romo) saw that leaving that pass up would have resulted in Sanu getting lit up by a defender? Does that mean that the throw was a great one? No, but it means that the throw wasn't as bad as many people initially thought.
And, lastly, I'll just note another poster, @pencilneckgeek, who seems to be saying much the same thing,
Pats @ Eagles all-22 rewatch thread
though he may be expressing it (for explanation purposes) a bit differently than I.
So, even while I think it's great that more people are doing these breakdowns, I also think we have to use their analysis as a jump point rather than an authoritative evaluation.
