Croyle throws off of his back foot on occasion.

Funny. That sport they call baseball. They have a player called a pitcher. Those pitchers throw off which foot, to get their power?

Nearly everyone knows the answer to that. Point is, a QB is not a pitcher in baseball. Not everytime is he going to get to set his feet where he wants to throw... like a pitcher does. Sometimes you have to throw off of your back foot, 'cause the receiver may be only open for a bit and the QB doesn't have time to adjust to that bit. And if the QB did reset his feet and that ball gets intercepted, the QB would be ripped for telegraphing his passes.

The fact is, whether it's a pitch, or throwing a pass, they both actually throw off their back foot.

It's the follow through mechanics, or lack thereof, that people are actually bitching about.

A pitcher never has people coming at him when he pitches.

Not the way I used to pitch.

The problem wasn't that he threw off his back foot, the problem was he didn't correctly read the defense. Young QBs do that. It's no big deal to me -- but Herm believes in zero risk-taking on offense, so who knows what he thinks about it.

actually if he had stepped into the throw it might of gone to the back corner of the endzone where only griffin could catch it.


they had 1 on 1 coverage ..... the problem was that it's was under thrown.


read wasn't that bad, the throw was

Yeah, Wilson was behind the DB. If that pass is thrown at the back corner of the endzone, nobody has a chance at catching it other then Wilson.

I disagree. I don't think the pass could have been completed. Croyle thought the receiver had one-on-one coverage, and he didn't.
