bit weird to criticize a qb for taking advantage of using his weapons
Not at all. When you clearly have the best weapons/players in college football around you and are throwing to receivers that have 5+ yards separation it's completely fair to ask if he could make those same plays in the NFL where that kind of separation happens very rarely.
Then one would then watch the film.
This pass, which is now my default gif when people say he can't make highly difficult throws, shows that he can fit the ball into extremely tight windows.
In what world is that pass not going to be catchable regardless of how close the DB is covering him? There are two players there in that zone. The pass wouldn't have been more accurate if he ran over there and handed it to him.
Just because he didn't have to do it as much doesn't mean he can't.
Moreover, sometimes QBs miss tight window throws because they should have thrown it elsewhere. For example:
This pass should have gone to the guy running the drag. That guy would still be running.
The point is not to slam Lance here. The point is that sometimes a pass is into a tight window because the QB errs.
Hell of a catch #6 Smith. Maybe 20% WRs make that catch twisting their body. As tight as that throw maybe, equal if not better reception. Looks at #6 the whole time.
God you people will do ANYTHING to minimize Jones' skill. Wishful thinking does not make him worse than he is.
And most number 1's in the NFL can make that catch.
Shanahan is intrigued. He's going to pick one of these three, and it might be Jones. And if it's Jones it's because he is elite at executing the play's design. But none of them are scrubs.
