Timing is everything folks, and what some can forget is that Moose had it down to a science, as Smith does. However there exists the immeasurable issue of desire and disciplined determination. Smith uses that factor to out jump many a foot taller than he.

If you are thinking that the QB is gonna put it in your hands you need not play for us. Mr. Delhomme was granted pardon on many passing infractions because he had a coupel of masters of the grab n' catch! A floater must be in the hands of the receiver vs. the secondary hawk.

I had no problem with the throw.....that is the perfecttype ball for Steve Smith. Maybe Moore didn't see the S help coming but regardless I would think the WR would have finished that better......

We're all so conditioned to Smitty. Not a bad thing.

Through all of training camp most people were saying Clausen looked the slowest of the quarterbacks and had the slowest footwork. Moore does not have better arm strength as evidence of his hail mary that landed 10 yards shy of the end zone. Even a miracle catch would have been pointless.

One thing from last night I liked from Clausen was that after bad throws he was smacking his hands together. After drops he had no reaction. Moore on the other hand after the Rosario drop just looked frustrated and started shaking his head slowly while the camera was on him. Clausen seemed more calm and collected.

in all fairness I dont' think the hail mary is evidence that Moore hase a weaker arm. Moore could have thrown that ball out of the endzone if he wanted to....IMO just wasn't executed perfectly as he put a little too much loft on that one.

It wasn't just one play, it was two plays and they are comparative to all his deep passes. I am of the opinion the ball was just slightly off target but we are talking about a 40+ yard throw and he landed it almost perfectly where it needed to be (half a yard too far and half a yard too far inbounds). My issue with the pass is that he gave the ball way too much air time allowing the safety to come across and intercept it... or he waited too long to throw it.

Similar situation with the hail mary. Why even bother with a "miracle catch" when you can throw almost the same distance to someone who can catch it in stride rather than sit there and pretend you are a punt returner. Like someone else said, he was throwing punts out there instead of darts.

I must say that Moore's hail marry looked very "Delhommeesque". He had to rainbow it real high to get the ball as far as it went, and even then it was 5 yards or so short of the end zone. I don't see it as a big deal really as accuracy is more important than being able to throw the ball 60+ yards, but this topic had its own thread so I thought I would add my .02.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
