So, so wrong.
The stats cited above counter your assertion that he checked down a lot. You don't average 10+yds/Att throwing bubble screens and check downs. I never said the kid couldn't sling it. But at LSU he had two WRs that out-classed 90% of the DBs they faced. (BTW, love Landry on the Fins) He's not going to have that luxury in the NFL. I just think he has a limited skill-set and the one skill he has (huge arm) is way down the list of importance of what makes a successful QB. It just happens to be the one skill that visually captures people's imagination.

You know nothing. First of all, if Landry and Beckham were that much more talented than the DB's they face, why did they have so much trouble catching the ball in 2012?
And as far as checkdowns, educate yourself on the Air Coryell offense before showing your arse. Cam teaches his quarterbacks to look at the longest reads first, and those will always be Beckham and Landry. Sure, screens and short passes have a place in his game, but why would you check down when you have two receivers that you can trust to catch anything within 5 yards?

quote:so he was as good as anybody at long throws because he merely threw the ball into space and lsu receivers just happened to be there more often than not? Or was it because he made good decisions?
the one skill he has
Remind me to never have you draft for me in fantasy.
