    Don't get all crazy on me, but if Vince continues to overthrow simple 5 yard outs or hooks, then someone had better start teaching him how to get on top of those throws. Balls sailing on these simple pitch and catch plays is unacceptable.

    i'm assuming you're talking about the chris davis screen?

    i'm thinking that was a miscommunication. you could see vince telling davis to go up field instead of staying where he was.

    It was 3rd and 3. The objective is to move the chains. Davis was where he was supposed to be to get that done. If there was a miscommunication, the fault lies with VY. It was a horrible throw plain and simple.....and it happens too often. His ball sails when he sits on his back leg and doesn't get on top of the throw. As I said, that is a simple "pitch and catch" first down.

    Regardless of where Davis should have been, that ball was going to be overthrown either way. Actually, Young inexplicably continues to overthrow most of his passes.

    davis was behind the line of scrimmage, i don't know how that is a way to move the chains, but i guess that's what we have to do when we have LenUseless running the ball.

    Actually I was referring to the 3rd and 3 play to Williams. We got the 1st down because of the holding call on Barber, but the ball was badly overthrown. Hard to imagine missing an easy throw that badly, but VY does it on a regular basis.

    I agree, those aren't the kind of passes VY should have to be learning how to do as a pro. It doesn't look like he's trying to learn how to be a pocket passer, it looks like he's trying to learn how to throw from the basic beginner level.

    this is all true. he needs to do something about it.

    if Young doesn't correct this people are going to raise cane.

    It reminds me of Happy Gilmore... Off the tee with a three wood he was good for 300yds.. with a driver, 400 yards easily. dude couldn't putt to save his life.
