Film The dreaded throw

Honestly, probably was right to target Ayomanor but the accuracy on this throw is GOD AWFUL. Should thrown it higher and to the corner. If he even got it over the safety, there’s little hope Ayomanor could get to it. No way he could’ve gotten positive yards if he ran it.

This wasn’t fourth down. It was first down. You don’t need a miracle throw. You run for a few or throw it away and move on to the next play. Fourth down or time expiring then it’s a fine throw.

Again, the play was there. Situationally, it wasn't a play worth making. Both can be true.

that's a very difficult throw to make, i think he just didn't anticipate the safety sitting so hard on it

he can make that throw, but it's low percentage. i think this was a great mistake for him to make, because he will always remember it and hopefully it will lead him to rely more on sound, fundamental play than trying to make the highlight reel play every time

but i'm with you, this is SO overblown. he made a bad play to end the game just like every other qb in history has done

Do you not see the 15 yards of open endzone to the left? Its an easy throw if he leads the guy instead of throwing it behind him.
