[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 869968, member: 7261"] A simple roll out and screen, while still a timing pass is maybe one that you can say "oh, he led him to much or he threw at his feet, etc." but that is just too simple of an example of what most throws are, to say "you can't just throw to spots all the time". Much of what we see on Sundays is practiced over and over, away from the TV cameras. So much of what we don't see is the timing of routes that both QB and receiver are practicing and working on. Now as a TV coach, I can watch a play unfold and watch as a pass is thrown a yard in front of a receiver that to me is wide open and streaking across the field. "Damn it, the QB missed a wide open guy!" I scream. Now, I play that film back and watch the WR through his entire route. I see something that I had missed in real time, on his cut, the receiver slipped and slowed down, he never makes it to the spot that he and his QB practiced. The ball made it to the spot, but the receiver didn't. Now in your mind, is seems like that is the QB's fault for not adjusting? However, when it comes to timing routes, that is the key word "timing". If either the QB or the receiver is late or early to the timed spot, chances are you have an incompletion or even worse, an interception. It is the Receivers job to navigate to the spot, it is the QB's job to navigate his way to a position on the field where he can safely throw to that spot, as well as quickly check to make sure a defender hasn't fully covered the route and if so, move to option 2. Do receivers break off from their routes when Rodgers runs out of his primary reads and options, of course. Then it comes down to does Rodgers know where he will most likely find one of his guys and how much time does he have left to get rid of the ball. It is his receivers job at that point to try to get somewhere that they think Rodgers might be able to find them. These broken plays or scramble drills is where Aaron has thrived quite often, but only with receivers that he has established chemistry with, because both he and that receiver seem to know what the other is going to do. Feels like you think this is sandlot football, where Rodgers just drops back and tries to find the guy who is the most wide open. That isn't the case. Guys are running routes and its Rodgers job to know each mans route, where he is suppose to be at any give time and then get that ball to the practiced spot. How do you think they are completing passes that are released before the receiver is even looking back and still running to his spot? Or how Mahomes throws a no look pass? [/QUOTE]
