Correct me if I'm wrong but..... - Page 3

did anyone else notice that Grbac actually looked at more than one receiver on the same play last week...at least on a few plays...seems he didn't zone in on one guy all the time like he normally does...I find this encouraging...now if only he'd learn to fall down instead of throwing stupid INTs...it could be interesting...

Still a Grbacker... [img]http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/eek.gif[/img]

Grbac should see his target before he throws it. If the timing is thrown off by the WR, the QB needs to adjust...especially if he's got plenty of time.

That throw was one example of Elvis lack of improvisational ability.

That's the whole idea of a timing pattern, though, Clint. The QB makes his drop, sets, & fires. It's the receiver's responsibility to be where he's supposed to. The pro of a timing pattern is that the defense doesn't have an opportunity to react quickly - the con is obviously, there is no opportunity for the QB to adjust because he's passing as soon as he completes his drop. That play was designed for Lockett all the way. Everyone else went to the right corner to pull the safeties. Locket blew that play, not Grbac. But it's not super important, we were under a minute and still needed another TD.

I went to U-M during Grbac's senior year... and with decent coaching (it doesn't have to be spectacular!) he performs! The year before I was there, he led the nation with a 169.0 passer efficiency rating while tossing 19 TD passes. The year I was there his rating was only slightly lower (150).

He has done very well at every level...(look at how well he played at San Fran) except under Jimmy Raye. I agree that he has a few problems...but it doesn't make sense to assume that he lost all of his skill the minute he signed with KC.

It makes alot more sense to assume that there might be other factors keeping him from performing...

That pass to Lockett was so far off...nobody could've caught that pass inbounds.

Maybe so, but thier could have been some defensive hands in the way. Maybe Lockett didn't run his route right. THere plenty of other factors to consider besides "He just threw it wrong!!!"
