But it’s not! When the QB has to drop their eyes to the ground to find the bouncing ball, he is taking his eyes off of his read progression. For example, if the play call has a flood route to the right with a short, intermediate, and deep route to that side, with a backside post or drag, the QB read is to peak deep, then go to the play side Corner to see if he is bailing or squatting on the route. If safety is over the top, whatever the corner does is wrong. But if the QB has to look down to find the snap that is low and to the left or skipping back to him, or even worse fired over his head, then the play is trash! Even though the X receiver may have been all by himself because the safety jumped the drag route or the intermediate route was wide open because the corner sat on the out or stop route.

The amount of times it actually happened IS overblown. Yes, snaps were an issue, but only one of MANY issues. But, we all love a hero, a champion, a Heisman contender. So, when our champion fails, we look for blame elsewhere. A scapegoat. That scapegoat might have had fewer deficiencies than our champion, but he's a faceless cog in the wheel and he did make some mistakes and they were of the type that even the simplest among us could see. And, most fortunate of all, that faceless cog left the team. The perfect scapegoat.

A very large majority of the snaps were fine. JM inability to process the checks at the LOS, read defense, work through his progressions, and make a decision on whether to hit the check down, run, or take a 20yd loss sack is not because of the few bad snaps per game.
