Except, in his 2nd year, Jalen Hurts threw for 3,100 yards, 16td's, 9 picks and had an 87.2 rating. He was even worse as a rookie. What changed? If you'd like, I can also point out their senior year numbers in college...Mac can throw just as well as Jalen. Just needs time, receivers who can catch the ball, and coaches who know how to design and call plays.
That’s a mistake by the crew. Covering official assumed it was a pass when it wasn’t his call to make.
Causing a fumble like that is not a break, imo but that is semantics. Shanny not covering himself in glory so far.
True. But it would be nice if the refs could call these plays correctly. If that is just too much to expect of humans — and it may be — we need a more interventionist replay system.
It went forward because he hit it with his arm, so might have seemed obvious I guess.
Alabama had a better offensive line than the Patriots. And better coaches. Would I trade Mac for Hurts? Yup. Tomorow.
If the ball comes out of the QBs hand as anything other than a spiral they’re supposed to let it go. If the R sees it as an obvious pass he’ll come kill it. The R rules fumble, somebody else screwed it up.
When you have a chance to get the ball into Gainwell's hands, you HAVE to get the ball to him.
I've been saying this since the first year of replay- the coaches shouldn't be involved at all. If a play is questionable, have a replay official in a booth somewhere who calls down to the ref. This idea that coaches need to be a check on the refs, and only get 3 challenges at most, is idiotic.
The idea is to avoid the college system, where the booth gets involved when the spot is missed by a yard. Basically the NFL only wants replay involved if there is an obvious error with REAL game impact, and who better to decide if the play matters than the coach?
I would trade Mac for Hurts too, solely because of what he can do with this legs.
