Don't believe everything you think.
I was in the middle of breaking down another game by our new QB, when I looked at my notes and realized I was writing the same things that I did in my last report.
Nothing changed, he still looked in control, confident, accurate, and he still had a great long ball (anything over thirty yards in the air)...Receivers still dropping balls that hit them right in both hands...and then it hit me what the difference was.
When Jay drops back to pass, even if you like the guy, you have to admit that your breathing stops just a little bit, until the play is over. It's always in the back of your mind that this pass may go the other way. It's never a fun feeling. Especially when he winds up and lets loose a rainbow the likes of which Key West has never seen.
When Feeley dropped back,it was different, I found myself hoping that he was going long. Probably because I wanted to see him do it for evaluation purposes but, the more I saw him complete these passes, the more confidence I had that he was going to give me something good to write about.
Maybe I wasn't emotionally involved. Maybe because it wasn't my team out there, I didn't have to be nervous. But I think I was.
I was involved because I wanted to see something good. If I had been sitting there seeing errant throws all day long, or in any of the other games, I would still be dreading his drop back, because I wouldn't want to report that I didn't like what I was seeing.
But it wasn't like that. Everytime he dropped back to pass I was thinking this one could go all the way.....not the other way.
That's the biggest difference.
