I need your words. I might curve in that corner. Whoa, whoa. We're going to do it. Who else here? Just so many people. I plan to be back here. I couldn't do this without you guys. This is just the beginning. Thank you.

Yeah, I was in there. And even in his best plays, and this is where the SMU and the Boise State stuff come into play, because he had some big throws there. But even in those, it was like the receivers are slowing down just a tick. And I was telling my son, who was a big Cam Ward fan, like we've talked about, he's like, I think it's Cam Ward.

I'm like, this guy, but he's 6'5", and as you keep watching, he's having trouble getting to third reads. In the NFL, you have to be able to come across the field and say, okay, this isn't here. Can I go here and still make a throw? And when you watch this game, all those things came into play. On the pass interferences, he did get bailed out. Those were bad balls.

They were late throws, and they were hung up in the air. which helped him in those situations, but those should have been touchdowns.

Even if he catches that by his knee, you're allowing the defender a chance to come up and make that stop.

Absolutely. So you're slowing the running back down. And in that moment, with just such a thin margin of error, if you're the arm talent that you should be, regardless of what your drop looks like, what foot drop he throws, a lot of passes falling away. But that means you have to have the arm. to still put it in the spots that you want, to your point about the accuracy.

And then when I'm looking for you to say, okay, this isn't here on the front side, can I get to a third read, scan across the field, and make a throw? That's literally how the last interception was thrown, because you're falling away, you try to get to the third read, and you can't place it. Those are issues.

Look, when you're at this point in the season, you have to understand that things change, right? It's like that sophomore quarterback slump.
