Well those complaining about Drew’s arm strength.....this should be interesting.
I for one put arm strength about 6th on the list of QB skills.....behind accuracy, comprehension of all routes and blocking assignments simultaneously, quick release, mobility to subtlely adjust in pocket, quick decision maker, ....then arm strength.
Strong armed QBs that never made it are plentiful.
Fortunately, JW is accurate, the INTs came from forcing it when a WR wasn’t open (decision making).....or rushed throws.
This was evident last week as he moved between the 20’s well.....but in the red zone everything speeds up, decision making has to be elite and quick, and identifying the defense (which is trying to fool you) into what’s the best read pre snap, and if that’s not open, exactly where reads 2-3-4 are located at any moment.
Drew knows this like the back of his hand. JW does not.
And it showed.
Now with a week of Sean’s 100% focused coaching, hopefully he’ll pick up some things.
He has some of the skills (including the previous strong arm)....but can he access the other skills we take for granted with #9.
