Did you watch the game? Brock's first game back after his shoulder injury and he's out there running a timing based offense where our guys couldn't stay on their feet. That game had a lot more to do with poor footing than Brock's arm.
Several passes dropped. Pearsall falling down on a play where Brock avoids pressure and throws a nice pass down the field that is more than likely a big time connection if Pearsall can stay on his feet. Even the TD run by Guerendo was a pass from Brock, just slightly behind the line.
I urge you to go back and watch that game and really see if Brock's arm was the reason for the poor stats(I just did)
Yeah I did. Kittle was open basically every play and Brock just ... Didn't throw it?
Josh Allen was a force in that game and showed why he & purdy are a galaxy apart as QBs. I don't care too much about looking at a box score, I watched the game. The biggest difference were the QBs: one can't play in bad weather, the other is an elite QB any time, anywhere.
Which plays since you watched the game.
If you watched that game then you should've also noticed the difference in pressure each QB had. As mentioned Josh was also playing our defense missing our best DLman and our best corner with the Bills coming off a bye week. If you think that's not going to give a better QB an even easier go of it then I don't know what we're doing here.
Also the post was to jcs who specifically mentioned Brock struggling in that bad weather game by bringing up the box score stuff.
Allen is one of the elite QBs in this game, he should look better in any conditions but let's keep it fair. Allen doesn't play in a timing based offense and has a cannon. In a game like we saw that week he's a much better player in a backyard game type of environment...especially when Nick Bosa and Lenoir aren't on the field.
Brock is playing in a timing based offense - when guys can't get to a spot they're supposed to be it's going to impact the passing game. And yes Brock did hold back on some throws but the reasons could very well be due to where his guys were supposed to be on the play and weren't there as well as the coverage that Brock was seeing.
Either way the narrative that Brock is horrible in bad weather games is overblown and it's certainly not because of his lack of arm strength.
