Quote:Love how the casual viewers are throwing out the McCarron-Brady comparisons completely neglecting the fact that McCarron has no pocket presence.

 

Bunch of brainiacs we have here

Yet you casually compare Bridgewater to Montana. 

 

BTW - in the McCarron vs Oklahoma cut-up  you keep pushing - he handles pressure well the majority of the times he experiences it.  

He makes a bad decision trying to force a throw with an unblocked DB blitzing. Then he converts a few plays later with a rapidly collapsing pocket on 3rd and 6. 

Prior to that he escaped pressure with his feet three times - running for positive yardage twice and throwing for a completion once. 

The sack just before halftime was his LT getting beat like a drum and the center being pushed back so he couldn't step up to avoid it. It happens. He did nothing wrong. 

Then he converts again on the next play. 

 

The intentional grounding was ugly.  So that's two poorly handled pressures.  The next two pressures he makes a decent attempt to step into pocket. Then he takes a sack on which he might have slung it to his left a split second before going down.  That's three on the negative side.  Then there's a textbook blindside sack he didn't see coming. Nothing to do with bad presence on that one. 

 

I saw three instances where he could have displayed better pocket presence.  Not a very glaring indictment on McCarron, IMO.  Try again.
