Re: Week Eight QB Debate
 

Warner has been in a ton of huddles and knows a heck of a lot more than any of us do about what is going on with QB's, receivers, and routes. A whole heck of a lot more. Check out the video.

So, not in the huddle with them that game?

Re: Week Eight QB Debate
 

What I have noticed is some fans will mitigate or cast blame elsewhere for some QB mistakes by Dalton that they will absolutely crucify Winston for. I wonder why. Also, the whole “maybe he doesn’t understand the playbook” go to is played out. The only difference from team to team is essentially terminology.

Welcome aboard Big L!

Re: Week Eight QB Debate
 

One would logically deduce that the difference may be something besides their on field performance then, you think?

And welcome aboard, Big_L!

Re: Week Eight QB Debate
 

Exactly. Who is saying anything different?

Re: Week Eight QB Debate
 

He might as well HAVE been in the huddle with them. There are only so many routes and virtually every team runs the same ones. He demonstrates exactly when and where the pass should have been delivered to Callaway. He also points out on the same play that there was a receiver wide open down in the right flat that should have been the read anyway. So Dalton really made two bad decisions on that play. First, choosing the wrong read and second, throwing off timing on the route he did settle on.

Although, I really don't know why I am explaining what the film study shows when anyone that actually watches it can see what he is talking about.

Re: Week Eight QB Debate
 

There's a reason why Kurt Warner started with "My opinion" when broke that play down.

Should he have gone to the flat? Maybe. We have no idea who his first read was on that play. It's just a guess. Was Dalton's timing off? That's just an educated guess as well. The fact of the matter is Callaway was open and should have caught the ball.

Re: Week Eight QB Debate
 

One would think the opinion of a HOF NFL QB would carry a little weight. But, yes, Warner even points out that Callaway could have possibly caught the ball.

That doesn't change the fact that the ball (according to Warner) should not have been delivered until he was approaching the other hash as the route is routinely designed. Instead of Callaway possibly catching the ball with his hands instead his face, perhaps he could have made a better attempt had he known when and where it was coming.
