The two fly routes he threw were perfectly accurate, the WR had to take the slightest of hesitations to get there. Not one QB hit their guy in stride on the 9, and Pat White was the only one without a semblance of an underthrow.

No, they weren't. Not even close. They were most definitely behind the receivers.

They absolutely were not. If you wanted to see bad throws from the QBs on the deep balls, look at what Painter and Reilly did.

Good misses. I'm not sure how UNDERTHROWING a 9 route makes it a "good miss." Those are often times picked. |

#1 I never said they were perfect throws. A perfect throw is to the outside shoulder in stride. I said no one hid them in stride. If you underthrow a 9 by a half step, the receiver sees it and either gets run into (for a PI) or makes the catch, because it's nigh impossible for a CB running stride for stride to make that adjustment after the receiver has done it. Hence the prevalence of the fade stop.

Why is this so hard to understand? If Pennington hoists up a lollipop that is going to hit his man in stride, but it stays up so long that the CB picks it off, it's an accurate throw, but it's not a perfect throw. The receivers didn't have to break for the ball, move towards the middle of the field, or slow down much at all. Less than any other QB who threw the deep ball, save for the one Pat White aired out that his receiver had to lay out for to get to because it was overthrown.

Well some people were, hearing some say Pat White looked awesome is mind numbing.
