Quote:I think he was attempting to do what they wanted based on the fact that he was trying to allow plays to develop, and he was holding on to the ball for too long.  Whether he's capable of stretching the field or not is questionable, but if you look at the number of 20+ yard pass plays, he's actually been more effective this year than last, and he's doing this despite the other issues. 

 

Trying to allow plays to develop?  He looked lost beyond words back there and that's inexcusable, regardless how the WRs are running routes, for a veteran like Chad.  I felt bad for him at times because the offensive line wasn't allowing him to do what he needed but there were other times where he could have made a play but didn't.  

 

I don't think it's questionable at all.  He's not that good at it.  His arm isn't good and trying to make him throw more deep/intermediate passes is going to have the potential for disaster.  

 

The guy locks onto WRs like a UDFA rookie and that isn't going to change in year 7.
