QB - Antonio Bass

i thought that sheridan looked significantly worse than threet. he overthrew every long ball, almost had the ball picked off several times including the 2 terrifying oh sh*t throws (one of which was picked and let to the 22-10 lead). threet hasn't secured the job but based on yesterday i can't see sheridan ending up with it over threet (in the furture)

While I agree that Threet did not solidify himself as our starter, I disagree on some of your points. I really thought he did a pretty good job actually at getting the ball out. He had to consistently get rid of the ball within 1-2 seconds with our terrible line play and for the most part did well. On the occasion when our receivers could not get open (which was surprisingly often), he had to hold on to it and I thought he bought time pretty damn well to try and find an open man even though there really wasn't one. He looked like his eyes were always downfield.

I can honestly say I was a bit naive in thinking there wouldn't be a major dropoff in good receiving after Manningham and Arrington left, but there clearly is. Our guys were getting jammed all day. It's not like any of our other units made it all that easy on Threet and think a lot of his mistakes were the cause of other units failing, rather than his complete futility. This analysis is pre-UFR, so I obviously could be wrong, but these were my observations of Threet. He shows a lot of promise and I don't think he made any mistakes any freshman wouldn't in his first start.
