Frerotte on his td throw

arsenal said:
because its a preseason game where the score doesn't really matter... what matters is evaluating your players... and getting lucky in a preseason game doesn't make me feel confident about him because he happened to get a TD out of it... that wont happen again, and next time its a pick 6...

that fact that he has no accuracy on most of his throws really scared me... i hope he'll improve...

Actually he was accurate for most of the game especially with those nice quick throws to Gilmore and Diamond on the qucik slants in stride. I think this answers the people who are like " Oh that was a bad TD pass by Frerotte" Well yeah, the ball slipped out of his hands, it happens get over it, I don't think that will happen again, this a preseason game anyway. Every person has had a moment when throwing the ball, becuase maybe you tried hurrying your throw but you lose the grip right when you throw, especailly if you're hands are sweaty. It happens, don't panic about this, it's more of a fluke. I'm sure his throw would have been more accurate if that didn't happen, because he made alot of nice throws that moved the chains.

yes i agree it was a fluke, but the point is everyone is celebrating him for a TD pass when it was a fluke, no need for celebration on that... and yes he had a few decent throws on some quick slants, but most of his difficult throws really weren't that good, he did have a lot of short passes which i hope he could throw, but i feel his accuracy really was lacking this game...

The Chambers throw was right where it needed to be, or else it wouldn't have been completed, and the only passes that were off was the one that was over Boston, and the one slightly out of Chambers reach, that throw to Boston on the one he dove to was good, but the important thing about those quick throws he made was that they were not just completed they were thrown while the receiver was running in stride something and they didn't lose as step.

well we'll agree to disagree... that chambers throw was not where it needed to be... i know about throwing behind a reciever, but you do that on the outside, not to the middle of the field... that was a bad bad throw but i mean he just had a defender whiff by him, i dont expect a perfect throw, but if you think that was a proper throw and where he wanted it we'll just end the discussion now...

He can't throw a lead pass, or one over his shoulder, because Chambers was double teamed, the guys were one each side of him, If he threw it for Chambers like a normal deep pass would be, where Chambers he keeps on running and the ball falls over his shoulder in his hands wouldn't have worked because Chambers most likely would've tripped over one of the dudes legs becuase it would've been crowded, and would cause an intercpetion, but it was thrown in a safe spot, for Chambers to go get, maybe it could have been lobbed, but there wasn't much else where it could have been thrown. If Chambers had single coverage it would have been a different story. His throws were just as accurate as Feeley, he was more accurate than you're giving him credit, of course you're going to find problems if you're looking for a perfect performance. Frerrote threw the ball well, the throw to Chambers was not perfect but it was pretty good throw considering the pressure he had, it's easy to say well it wasn't here and there but when the play happened Frerotte is just trying to make the best throw at the moment, could it have been better, maybe, but was still a safe throw that allowed Chambers to get the ball, it wasn't too bad.
 
i respect the guy for his honesty, but I think I would have kept that to myself.....It's not lying if he doesn't say anyting :)
 
I said this in a recent post-game recap that I wrote but I'll say it again.

After the snake-bitten season we had last year, where every single thing in the whole WORLD seemed to go wrong on us either due to "luck" or something else, I really do think there's something to be said for a guy who seems to have lady luck in his pocket when he plays quarterback for us. Yeah, he was not throwing to Gilmore and the ball slipped and happened to go right to Gilmore. Yeah, he was kind of lucky that the blitzing Lance Briggs completely whiffed on a tackle allowing Frerotte to heave a 40 yard underthrow to Chambers who adjusted to it and made a circus catch.

But you know, I could deal with having a quarterback that keeps getting lucky, rather than the quarterback who never seems to catch a break (but we all really feel for him!).

haha yes luck is a good thing, but i dont think frerottes a 4-leaf clover.... if you look at his career hes far from being one of those guys that gets all the breaks... this lucky stuff i dont think would continue so i dont consider it a positive for frerotte... the pass to me is still a negative when its all analyzed...

it may not have been a perfect pass but it gave chambers a chance to catch it but if AJ was in there he would have been sacked because he gets scared and cant handle the pressure and that would have gave them 2 points and the ball back. so take your pick a chance for are playmaking reciever to make a play or a safety and giving the other team points and the ball.

You liked that it wasnt skill that got him the touchdown, it was pure luck? I find that disturbing.

The only problem with luck is that it runs out.:goof:

Trust me.It will run out.I am just hoping its during my lifetime.:tongue:
 
Keep in mind, frerotte was being beared down upon (no pun intended) and he made a great sidestep move and winged it. He should be given credit for just getting the ball out, Unlike Feeley who just seems to worship getting killed.

he sidestepped nothing, he didn't even see him, he was too locked onto chambers... the dude just missed him, you can say the throw was good, but dont say he side stepped or avoided anything, thats just flat out not what happened...
