seaofred92 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Missed the game yesterday but just saw the pick 6 for the first time. Going to go ahead and say this isn't exactly the form you're looking for when throwing a football: Quote Link to comment
huskerfan92 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 That's because Tommy doesn't know how to throw a ball away. So when something goes wrong he either takes a bad sack, or throws a bad interception. Which is why you can't have a system that relies on the pass with him. Which I've pointed out before, isn't his fault he was recruited to run a spread option system Quote Link to comment
Walter Sobchak Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 That's quality right there. I know it is not how it happened, but the screen capture makes it look like TA went almost horizontal matrix style and the proceeded to uncork a lazer up the sideline to the defenseive player, whose foot is just entering the frame in the upper left.

seaofred92 Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 This honestly looks like Taylor Martinez throwing the ball 1 Quote Link to comment
Ulty Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I was actually amused when, immediately after the play, the camera showed the reaction of a distraught fan wearing a Taylor Martinez jersey. 2 Quote Link to comment

Which I've pointed out before, isn't his fault he was recruited to run a spread option system In my limited opinion, you can tell he is just reacting a lot. Not really seeing the field but just focusing on one receiver or mentally clicking between options in rapid succession and then throwing at a friendly jersey that pops open in his field of view. I will say that it seems like he is also dodging alot of pressure on most plays when he drops back. Quote Link to comment
Husker67 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Typical of TA, instead of heaving one away later in the game, right at the end of the third quarter, he took a sack for a loss of 10, which turned a 37 or 38 yard field goal into a 48 yarder. Brown made it, but with Brown, anything beyond 40 is an adventure, so again, where is the coaching or where is TA's decision making in doing the right thing in the given situation?

Kernal Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 TA didn't make the greatest decision on this play, but he hardly deserves to be mocked for it. 1 Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 we haven't recruited a pass first, run second QB for years. Quote Link to comment
seaofred92 Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 TA didn't make the greatest decision on this play, but he hardly deserves to be mocked for it. Not meant to be a mockery of him just pointing out the atrocious throwing form on this play. Not picking on him personally just criticizing something that can be fixed. If TM can make drastic improvement from Sophomore-Junior year in footwork why can't TA? Quote Link to comment

onlyHskrfaninIL Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 This was an awful play. Newby was open immediately. Tommy is a very bad quarterback. Quote Link to comment

That's correct, Lewis got pushed back into him. But he's got to learn there are worse things that can and will happen than a sack. Quote Link to comment
InOmaha Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Tie his shoes together and make him take a hit in the pocket. Sometimes you need to for the team. Other QBs do it every week. Even running QBs. Quote Link to comment
