[QUOTE=cloudwasher;12714]On his second throw VY threw an absolutely UGLY int... no receivers within 10 yards of the pass. /QUOTE]

read something this morning that the WR might have ran the wrong route....still an ugly pass though.

Well, if a quarterback launches a lob into the secondary without anyone close to sacking him, you have to believe that this was part of the play the QB thought they were running. That or the QB was David Carr and he believed .6 of a second is all the time he has to throw.

But either way, even though he thought the TE was going to keep going on the wheel route and the guy hesitated, it was the CB who peeled off of the WR and picked off the pass. Basically it was such and off target throw it got picked off by a different receiver's defender. I don't think Vince even saw the CB as part of the play. He thought he was throwing it out there for his TE to run under. Even with perfect communication the best he could have had was the TE playing DB and trying to break up the pass.

In all honesty, the pass was so far away from any receiver that one can only guess what the play was supposed to be. But Young appeared to throw after a quick drop, lofted the ball like a fade route and was not under duress at all so, unless the ball slipped out of his hand, he clearly expected somebody to be there to run under it and nobody was - except the deep safety.

Amazing how much run a possible third team QB gets.

Next year, he will be in the CFL for all to enjoy.
