This is a neat little chart. (move this to football familiarity section at a later date)

Does this chart add clarity of where the ball should be thrown for you?

It's a nice chart but it is a little simplistic. It assumes the receiver is on a crossing pattern. On a post the target areas are all there but where is the defender? You can't throw the ball to the receivers chest if the defender is between the receiver and the QB. And what of the back shoulder pass? Sometimes the best pass is one that is short. The receiver knowing this can pull up and let the defender take himself out of the play. The passes by the sidelines where the ball needs to be in the "High" and also "In front" zone. Then there are the passes that are intentionally low allowing the receiver to get down and avoid contact.

The QB can make the perfect pass but not be in the "accurate" area.

Also, other seems to suggest that it's better to throw behind a WR, instead of in front of them?

Hundley’s problem was that he played the way Mike taught him to play, scared. He was unable and unwilling to anticipate when the WR was gonna break open, make a move or separate. All his throws were late and behind.

The defense closes in and smacks the WR or picks it off.

That's something that bothered me a lot. Game after game, I didn't see progress on decision making. Just sling that shit. Trust your instincts! You'll get better. Shit, Peyton Manning threw more INT's in his rookie season than any other rookie ever! You gotta fall down to learn to pick yourself up.

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.
