Not sure if intended, but that pass dropped low really helped not giving Diggs a chance at the ball. I like to think so from Brock to protect his receiver.
Should have been placed up the sideline. I feel like I saw 4 or 5 balls hit a defender in the hand's yesterday and people in here are acting like it didn't happen lol. He ran an offense with the most stacked players in the league and with an amazing play caller.
I'm not s**tting on Brock, I'm team BCB & I think he made some amazing plays, plus he has this team rolling…but I think he's been getting away with some stuff right now too.
Odd, tho, NY, that all the ooooppppsss and near misses that Brock had in first half, just melted away in 2nd half. The uncertainty, the missed targets, a misread or two…all gone in 2nd half. Maybe the "letdown" many were expecting was the first half. Because in the 2nd half Brock seemed to do everything right. On CBS pre game this morning, Boomer said "somebody needs to send a letter to Brock and tell him that playing QB as a rook is very difficult to do." He's right. Brock sure has shown what he can do, without waiting to stumble thru 2-3 yrs of errors before a rook learns how to play the position.
Bottom line: yes he was an excellent pick, but…wow, we got incredibly lucky. It is a lot more reassuring to have a rook QB starting and winning for 4 yrs in Big 10 (or 12), than to have one with one yr of small college ball who played only 1 season, and then had their football program was idled following yr due to covid. No matter the intangibles, that has seemed like a stretch. Strange how the same evaluation crew that picked one, then picked the other.
Like they say, thus are the vagaries of the draft.
