re: Turns out last play of the game was a good call.

I don't get this. If it was a committed pass to the pylon, a 9 year old can make that throw. It wasn't too difficult. It was either late in the progression or bad execution.

Kings throw was "late" and "innaccurate" because it was rushed. Stewart ran the route wrong, too shallow and broke too early, meaning King had to catch up. King made a hurried throw since he knew he was already too late and we got what we got.

My issue with the play call is, although it's 100% effective if run perfectly, we had no reason to expect perfection from a FR WR and a battered QB.

Stewart is a star in the making, but its not due to precision/dependability. He has a lot of loosey-goosey freshman tendencies, and that doesn't work for this kind of route. It's one of the few times where one of our less talented but more experienced WR would have been the better option.
