Quote-X- QuoteRam49 Is that on the WR too? He missed Britt for a wide open bomb......he had three steps on the DB....and it was the second time he missed massively on a deep throw in two weeks. He explained it by saying "Kenny quit on the post." I will add this. On throws of 31 yards or more, you are excellent if you get a hit rate of 50%. You're good if you hit 40%.

QuoteBlue and Gold Quotezn Either way, there's nothing telling me that's a bad play. And of course the real problem was Quick not getting the audible and being in a position to make that play. You can argue all night whether throwing fades to Quick is a good play or not, without getting anywhere really, but you cannot argue Quick executed what he was asked to do. That trumps all other consiby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteoldschoolramfan This is the dumbest play I have ever seen. 1. Keenum throws it a mile high. Seriously, it was 50 yards in the air for a 15 yard pass. 2. Quick has NO Football IQ. Sure, Quick stopped and noticed the ball was thrown way up high over his head, but he stopped running. He QUIT on the play. Instead of hustling to the ball and trying to knock it down so the DB can't catch itby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteBlue and Gold Quotezn He hit Quick with a nice fade for a score against Arizona. There' s no way I can see that construed as a poor choice or throw. I assume it is a good play, sure. There's certainly no reason to assume it isn't that I can see. Doing it once means they can do it AND probably indicates they work on it extensively. After all, they audibled into a play that was a set opby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteBlue and Gold Quotezn Keenum's skill though is touch. That's a timing throw to a spot where the receiver knows enough how to shield the ball and make the catch. There is no way in advance I would rule that pass out as a poor choice, and what I see in the play is a very easy chance for Quick to position himself and take a contested ball.

QuoteBlue and Gold Quote-X- It was 15 yards. He doesn't really need more than a second to throw a fade into the endzone in the hopes that his 6'3 receiver with a 34" vertical can find a way to get leverage and shield the defender for a TD reception against man coverage. I mean, he didn't have to take a 7-step drop or anything. And he was also already in the gun. But what I am suggestby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteJamesJM A defender standing alone in the end zone precisely where the ball was going was simply loitering? He wasn't standing there. He backed into the spot with the ball in the air. He saw the pass and saw that Quick had taken himself out of the play and drops coverage. It's a high pop ball...not a laser...and it's very easy for him to see it and adjust to it.

Quote73Ram Quote-X-He explained it by saying "Kenny quit on the post." I inked that yesterday....in the replay you clearly see Kenny not running full speed....then he sees the ball and tries to catch up to it.

Quotedodgerram We heard fisher and Keenum Would be interesting to hear Quicks side of the play Go Rams! Why? The head coach just said he missed an audible. A head coach cannot go in public and chastize a player that directly, with specifics like that, if he's just making it up. The entire team would know he had lied in public.

QuoteJamesJM is one could make a very good case that the defender knew exactly what the play was going to be and Quick did not. - JamesJM I don't think any such case can be made.

QuoteHazlet Hacksaw Most coaches think about winning the next game. Who gives him the best chance to win the next game. Right now Fisher seems to think its Keenum. We want the coach to think about next year - but they are focused on who they are playing next. When they are really out of it - that may change.
