Quote:Here is where I don't agree with you, Johnny doesn't really have straight line running ability, he evades rushers with his agility, but yes he does leave pocket early at times, more than he should.


I don't understand what you mean by too many negative plays because of running backwards, guy had less sacks than TB, so please elaborate on what you mean by that.


Also the YOLO ball thing is being overused, it happened in a game vs Alabama on a Ball that should have never been thrown, and after reviewing that game Mike Evans didn't even catch that pass......so if you are going to say he throws YOLO balls please point out which plays you are referring to, rather than just a highlight from one game.

 

Ok, so I took the time and broke down the Alabama game for Johnny.  I'll also break down Teddy's UCF game for a comparison between games they both lost.  Johnny first:

5:30 - Yolo ball from the highlight reel.  Bailed out bigtime.  Amazing scrambling though.

7:20 - Didn't even read.  Just threw it up when receiver didn't have anywhere near good position.  Bad accuracy.

8:40 - Missed read.  WR coming out of break @ 10 yards was wide open.

9:15 - Missed post route.  Again, was wide open coming out of break.

9:50 - Horrible read and throw.  Too high for WR to make a play.  Winds up INT.

11:50 - Really bad scramble. Wasn't designed run because he looks to throw as he's coming back.  Bailed out because of horsecollar tackle.

14:00 - Perfect read, ball placement, and throw.  About a 98 yard TD.

15:30 - Good scramble.  Used blocks.  But still left pocket way too early.  Had nobody around him.

16:00 - Good extension of play.  Kept eyes downfield and made a good 1st down throw.

16:20 - Good placement, but again bailed out by an amazing catch on a YOLO ball.

 

Teddy:

0:35 - Bad read.  Ball thrown late.  Almost picked.

1:10 - Good scramble.  Eyes downfield and good placement on ball.  Could have thrown earlier for more YAC.

1:45 - Great read.  Makes throw under preasure.  Hit as he throws.  Touchdown.

2:15 - Good read, steps up, accurate throw for YAC.

2:55 - Hot route.  Good blitz pickup and ball placement.

3:42 - Back shoulder throw.  Good accuracy.  Only where his WR can get it.  Hit WR in stride for big gain.

4:40 - Presnap blocking assignment changes.  Threw WR open.  TD.

5:10 - Doesn't freak with blocker in his face.

6:45 - Should have scrambled or thrown away.  Defense came too freely.  Big sack.

7:30 - Bad read and throw.  Should have probably thrown away.  At least ball was low where WR had a chance.

7:55 - Sells P/A hard.  On target throw for YAC.

8:30 - Underthrows badly.  WR never had a chance.

9:15 - Good scramble.  Kept eyes downfield.  1st down throw with YAC.

9:00 - Good throw fake.  Good scramble, but probably should have thrown out of bounds to save time on clock.  Still had chance at the end of the game.

 

Say what you want about my opinions, but Johnny bails on plays and improvises way too much.  He doesn't trust his Oline, and trusts his athleticism too much when he could be going through his reads.  He throws off his back foot a lot because of his improv.  He needs a #1 WR to bail him out.

 

When I look at Teddy, I see a guy you can build a gameplan around.  I see a guy who knows what his WR's can do and makes sure he gets the ball to them in the best situation for them.  He has great placement on back shoulder throws and throws to windows where only his guy can get it.  He can scramble if he needs to but only does it if everything else breaks down.  

 

Teddy is the better QB.  I want the better QB.
