is holding the ball too long? I'm waiting. The ball was thrown well enough that it could have been caught. While not perfect, the throw was pretty good and probably isn't thrown that well more than 30 % of the time.

I don't know that it needed to be any longer, maybe more to the left. I think he

And good QBs don’t throw 50-50 balls to receivers that are behind the defense.

It wasn’t a 50-50 ball. The defender had no chance at an interception.
