Someone needs to go and breakdown his stats in inclimate weather. I could be misremembering, but I seem to recall his play dropping off dramatically when it started raining.

The fact that he is feeding the narrative and making up BS to explain it.. Is the problem for me.. It shows it's in his head and he's going to make it a built in excuse.. Instead of doing what Burrows did.. Got the measurement made a joke about the hand size thing and rip up workouts.. Pickett is not a Burrow..

Just kidding, I have no idea.  

1. Jim Druckenmiller (11.25 in)

Jim Druckenmiller has the largest hands measured of any NFL quarterback. The average handspan of a 6’5 person is around 9.3 inches—but Druckenmiller’s span measures 11.25 inches. Carson Palmer and Drew Bledsoe stand at the same height as Druckenmiller, but their handspans are only 9.50 inches and 9.63 inches, respectively.

Pickett has an amazing pass over the middle and to the right of the field. His double jointed fingers allow him more grip and spin on the ball. His pass to the left sideline has more wobble, float, and is typically underthrown. When he throws downfield on the left sideline Pitt rolled him out to the sideline and then had him square up his shoulders.

Defenses would just pressure him from the right side forcing him to throw left. When he went left he would run most of the time and not go through progressions. His INTs are mainly when he throws left. Then there is the fumble issue when he gets hit, and the way he has to slam the ball into his hand when he pulls his throw down. You can hear him smack the ball. Has no grip to pull the ball down with one hand.

A team is getting a good QB for 2/3rds of the field. So, the offense will have 1/3rd of their playbook limited with Pickett under center. The CB he faces on his left side can take the day off and safeties can swing coverage to Pickett's right.

I'm not expecting him to throw down the left sideline at all in the Senior Bowl.

The 1997 draft. All that talk about Jim Druckenmiller and Jake Plummer. And the best QB in that draft was Jake. Jake Delhomme. Undrafted.

      Some love for Steve Wilks

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm not saying he should be working in the NFL. He did deserve some criticism as DC there. But Kyle Shanahan certainly did use him as a convenient scapegoat. Now there is no one left to throw under the bus. Anyways he could find his way back to the league in some capacity who knows. But he's old school and in the NFL you either adjust or you get left behind. All the same no hard feelings toward him he's a good guy.

      Is it too early to lock up Horn to a long term deal?

      By CRA · Posted

      he has barely suited up for 50% of our games.  It matters pending how much of our cap and resources go that way.  If he cost in the ballpark of a Surtain? No thank you.  Let someone else  And as far we know what happens when we let talent walk away or trade them…..that’s a mixed bag.   should we of paid Norman, Bradberry at CB? They probably had earned the right to be called better than Horn at that moment of the decision.  Do we regret that? Do we regret Star walking? Can take it back to Spoon.  Flip side is probably Peppers.

      Bryce Young what a crazy statement

      By frankw · Posted

      We need to get better in the redzone. And yes that is an issue that involves all the moving parts. Oline receivers QB and playcalling. But Bryce himself has to lead the charge on that or surely we could face another blowout in one of these upcoming games. Every team no matter how good they are is going to face an opponent that imposes their will on them and requires the same in response. Those are the games where we have got to capitalize on drives. Honestly I get the sense that the Chiefs on some level overlooked us.  So while I am pleased we were as competitive as we were it certainly remains to be seen if this was the beginning for something new or just an anomaly. I think that's a perfectly fair take at this juncture.
