What I have said a few times is that Drew inst a target of opportunity QB, he reads through route progressions and the receiver needs to be open to a certain degree in that route or close enough for Drew to throw him open. He doesn't roll out right like Manziel and look to see who is open somewhere on the field. He stays in the pocket and reads the progression of the routes to determine which x he is going to hit, or for the quicker release passes he is throwing it to a mark on the field and the receiver better be there. One of the A&M receivers recently stated that playing with Johnny wasn't very organized and his receivers never knew where he would be throwing from or who he would be throwing to consistently. Having a QB that can make plays is fantastic, having a QB that does it/tries to do it each and every down is very difficult to game plan around. |
