Courtesy of Josh Houtz channel. Nice edit of all Tua throws from Yesterday....
Since we had some mumbling about Tua almost never throwing parallel to the sidelines (aka downfield), I did a quick tally of the completions here, came up with 11 give or take that were thrown beyond and perpendicular to the LOS, broken down like this...
Waddle - 7
Smythe - 1
Gesicki - 2
Ford - PI Call downfield, not counted, just noted
Wilson - 1
Mind you, some are 5 yards down field, but still north/south, which was claimed to be lacking. I tried to leave out any borderline type plays. But anyway, if a QB effective, i'm happy however they do it. Tua's accuracy showed up big yesterday, we saw plays where perfect placement was required and was delivered - e.g. waddle between 3 defenders in 1st quarter to the 50yd line, and the 2nd qtr TD to waddle again well covered. He also missed a couple throws - which happens to all QBs. I'm convinced Tua can be great playing the way he plays. Obviously, not there yet, but again I can see it.
