Quote:Maybe you misunderstood what I was trying to convey. Again, the read was fine. His struggles throwing the deep ball has more to do with either not throwing the ball with enough velocity or with too much loft.



Going back to the throw in question the WR is open but he's late getting the ball out. If he was a spit second faster and the ball was thrown with a bit more velocity its a TD.


Maybe it is a weight distribution issue as the poster above suggested which will lead to lofted balls and reduced velocity. Even in that gif he seems to make the thrown a bit flatfooted.
