Wide Receivers we could go after

bet the farm, sell our souls, make a deal with the devil....sign Alexander & Owens

 

What about Boston? He is a Mosse like receiver. Big, possession type with some speed oposite of Smith. It would go back to what we had two years ago.

And I think Peerless Price in the right system can be dangerous. Just depends how reasonable these guys are on asking price.

 

I liked Brandon Lloyd out of college and he was doing ok until the went away from Rattay.

 

Gutter's partying like it's

 

More bitterness? At least bother to quote me correctly. I've actually been saying for months that pressure obviously bothers Delhomme, especially up the middle, but that some supposed inability to step up into his throws is not the cause of his problems. It is not the physical presence of defenders in his face that is the problem, so you can't blame the offensive line or the general level of protection. The problem is what I've said all along, that Jake panics. The second INT highlights what I'm talking about perfectly. Despite Chicago bringing two extra blitzers, there were no defenders in his face when Jake threw the ball to Vasher. The O-line picked everything up perfectly and Delhomme had a textbook pocket to stand in. Instead he back-peddled, threw off his back foot, and air-mailed the pass right to the defender and nowhere near the intended receiver.

And to eliminate at least some of your ignorance, here is one post from 11/20 illustrating what I was talking about:

 

Homer post: I think it'd be worth a shot for KRob. I've seen quotes from him since he joined up with the Vikings that I never thought I'd read. He's a hometown boy, too.

And as for baggage, well you always have to look out for that. But at least he never beat the shit out of a teammate.

 

this being the key

IMO, it doesn't matter if a man was in his face when he threw. He was pressured, he ran left both times, he threw without setting.

 

Except that he only did it on the second interception. You claimed that his footwork was the cause for both, but it wasn't. Moreover, why did he throw off his back foot on even the second interception? There was no one even close to him, so wouldn't that be a mental mistake? Wouldn't that be considered panicking? If there is no one actually in his face, how can that be anything but a mental problem?

 

He was rushed out of the pocket. He stepped a couple yards, each time, to the left of his OT block, which I wouldn't actually call out of the pocket. Sure, other QBs could've taken the sack or thrown the ball away, that's not the animal we're dealing with. His error was not planting, and that might or might not be a conscious decision, but sliding in the pocket wasn't a bad decision, throwing to the receiver wasn't a bad decision, so I can't find where he consciously decided to do something wrong. This being something he doesn't do that often, it might not have been great judgement, but I also don't believe players consciously decide to not use good technique when in situations they're rarely in.
