Quote:I don't just watch games. I study games, and even more so back when Byron played. There was a lot of stuff wrong with Byron, but basic decision making was not one of them. His downfield vision was outstanding, as was his touch and placement on deep passes.


More to the point, few realize how quickly Byron was able to dissect what he saw on the field. He had to make decisions even quicker than most because his wind-mill throwing motion took so long to complete. He still typically got the ball out just in time to avoid sacks, but to do so he had to begin his throws early. Blake, on the other hand, has a quicker throwing motion wherein he tends to buy time in the pocket for plays to develop or to go through reads before he ever throws. That is to say he typically has plenty of time to think about what he's doing, but he still makes some truly boneheaded decisions.
