Give Pat White Back His Glove and Throwing Motion

[lbmclean_sj]

dude was money at the Senior Bowl and the combine. I know that the Senior Bowl is not the NFL but he was doing alot better than say hitting the Tuna's golf cart in training camp. seen his highlight videos from WVU? he made some very accurate throws

after watching Vince Youngs sick throws against us with that wierd motion I think "what is the big deal?"

Well cause White is alot shorter than Vince Young..Plus you dont take a guy at #5 and start messing with his mechanics thats just dumb..

I do agree with you a bit tho..Just let him be him...

But mabye thats what got Pat messed up in the finale

good points

give him his glove, another year to prove himself as a thrower and if he fails we'll turn the page

Do you mean him being him is how he got hurt? Or his lack of offensive production?

the NFL doesn't consider a helmet-to-helmet hit on a guy who got tripped as hitting a defenseless player

sorry Pat I don't know what to say, I guess you should have drank a redbull and flown the **** out of the way

according to a lot of people he is "weak" for not absorbing that hit to the dome like a sponge.

Meaning that let him be him is that Call some play where he actually throws the ball..

I loved the Pa call that they called for him in the ATL game..

I know he is not a great thrower but it seemed like when he played in the Pit game all they called for him was WC type stuff...

Just let the guy throw the ball around the lot..

At that point did it really matter?

 

[SabanHater]

screw the glove.... that kid needs some steroids!!!

I'm not even kidding. It was only a matter of time before he was gonna get hurt.
AND he only plays a couple of plays a game.

only RB's and Anquan Boldin are built for a hit like that

not sure why Parcells is so into weight training and then falls in love with a guy who looks like Erkel

Vinny Testeverde could squat quite a bit of weight, was that because Parcells got him hooked on weight training?

I'm hoping to see a change next pre-season, that is as long as Thigpen doesn't eat up all the remaining QB snaps...

The problem isn't White's throwing motion, it's that he turns called passes into run plays so quickly that he never even actually throws the ball. If you guys think its the coaching staff's fault that he isn't throwing the ball and completing passes, you clearly haven't seen some of the comments from the staff in regards to what he was doing in the Steelers game.

And he did the exact same thing in preseason, so its not like his performance in the last game was an aberration due to the coaching staff. He doesn't have the nerve to stand in the pocket and throw the ball, and he clearly hasn't realized that he isn't as fast as he needs to be to outrun the defense on every play.

 

[napsndreds]

But tell me how you know the plays he ran were pass first plays? You really think Sparono gave this guy passing plays to run? Just a few...This year was an experimental period that wasnt sopposed to go this way due to ronnie's injury. If ronnie back and pat white still running some of the wildcat or pistol it should get better and will be completly overwhelming for defenses to prepare if they come back and execute it better.

I agree with you, if he is going to be a QB we have to let him do that. And I mean do that a lot. Perhaps mixing him in here and there.

Either way this off-season I really hope they get him to throw over and over and over again to get back that motion and arm back.

To say all that was called for Pat White was WC is wrong.

In the last game Sparano said in his press confrence that there was 6 passing plays called for Pat White.Instead Pat only threw 2 of those 6 plays called.
Instead Pat just took off and ran with the ball.

After seeing his two throws, i wish he would have run on those too.
