So apparently, Dalton threw a lot more over the middle but things did not go well. Goff is a machine over the middle.

My understanding of this is what happens when a QB faces a defense that effectively covers targets.

Probably an indication of being a one read guy if you're a lot more to the right. Not a good look for Lawrence.

How would anyone know who the first read is supposed to be?

By watching the tape and watching the QB and seeing where he looks first?

Seems kinda obvious on that one, no?  lol

And yes, I know sometimes QB's will look off a DB, but in general, you can tell who the first read was when watching the tape post game.

For those wondering, top left quadrant is where you want to be. Bryce cooked 

How often QBs throw to tight windows and their throw open rate on those tight window throws.

So according to this chart, Dak Prescott's stats are inflated because his targets are always open and yet he still has the least percent of throwing them open? yeah, overrated

The explanation for that chart is below. I would always take data with a grain of salt but the implication is that guys like Mahomes and Jackson throw to tight windows less often and aren't as good actually throwing it away from coverage to give their guy a better shot.

Top left quadrant is not where you want your QB. This means they're not seeing the open receivers and throwing blindly to a point that is double or triple covered. Threading the needle is not what you want a QB to do regularly at this level. It's high risk and low reward as it will hurt a receivers YAC and increase the chance of interceptions/tip drills. This was Mac Jones territory last year. You won't see Mahomes, Jackson, and Goff in that quadrant.

Or maybe, just maybe, we have receivers who can't get open?

    • Why do we always let our good players go ?   CMC was injured and we let him go . Now we face him Monday night .  We know what Chuba can do . We know what Rico can do .  We signed Chuba so why not sign Rico .   we don't know what we have in Brooks ,  Let him and Eteine go at it in camp . Keep the better player .  Don't let your proven players leave .
    • Oh, I get it. I called him Peewee for the first couple of years. He is too small to be an NFL QB. It wasn't as much of a problem in college, even in the SEC, because every player in the NFL is the size and speed of the biggest 22 on your entire college team.  I was left scratching my head over the pick and what we traded to get him (and yes, that cost analysis is unavoidable). Now we're sunk into the third season and the kid just popped a frikkin' amazing game out there where he showed every mark of what you need in a top end QB. Great passing, mobility, guts, toughness (that ankle must have been killing him) and the ability to put a team on his back to claw back a win. He didn't win it with his arm so much as by getting the ball to the right people at the right time, but that is what the best do. Do I believe he's going to be our QB of the future here? I'm still out on that. Way out on that. But I'm at least intrigued. Can he replicate what he did or even get close? Can he perform well against the power opponents we have left on the schedule? Heck, can he even beat New Orleans this season?  Right now, my personal feeling is that he'd make a heck of a back-up QB. He could prove me wrong and excel, though. Maddening as it is, that'd be the best outcome ever. Or he could have just hit his peak. And that would be bittersweet because then we start the whole thing over again. I don't see a reclaimation project QB out there right now that Canales can work his magic on.
