Is he calling these 3rd/4th & 1 plays? Or maybe it's the coaching staff? On a 4th & 1 fade pattern into the end zone, he put the ball *exactly* where it needed to be: right in LC's hands, and where it couldn't get picked off. The DB made an excellent game-saving, reach-over deflection. There's little if anything else that the QB can do there but run the called play to the best of his ability. And the QB completed *multiple* passes over 20 yards in that game. Check how many "short" passes were dropped by receivers. So, as if the team weren't bad enough, the ignorant spouting of clueless fans is becoming even more arduous to endure. Why, Paul, why?
