Quote:Young and raw QB has a typical rookie year with flaws

 

Young and raw QB shows great improvement in year 2

 

Young QB regresses during two of three games in year 3

THAT ^^  makes sense to you?????

 

1. An elongated throwing motion with a hitch in the delivery isn't a "typical" rookie flaw, how many rookies come out of college throwing a football like a baseball? The only typical about his rookie struggles was ability (or lack thereof) of reading coverage's

 

 

2. He undoubtedly showed great improvement as a sophomore, aided by a vertical passing attack that masked the elongated throwing motion.

 

 

3. He's regressed in fundamentals, accuracy, situational football, and the ability to accurately read coverage, it's more than just a "typical" 3rd year regression. 

 

The fact of the matter is this offense is no longer sneaking up on opposing defenses, teams are playing their safeties back while funneling coverage over to A-Robs side of the field, effectively taking the "50-50" balls away. Smart coordinators are forcing Blake to attack the short to intermediate part of the field, he's not effective in the area for a variety of reasons, he doesn't see the field well, his elongated motion telegraphs his reads while effecting his ball placement/accuracy. This is an honest (and accurate) assessment of his current play, to be perfectly hones, I'd have no concerns about Blake long-term if it weren't for that throwing motion, I just think it will be difficult to fix a problem that has a direct effect on attributes (like accuracy) that are critical to success in this league.
