How does the film tell you where Tate is supposed to be? If a throw is high how do you tell when the receiver is to blame for running a poor route or the QB is to blame for making a bad pass. What specifically do you look at to tell the difference?
How do scouts know a guy is a good route runner? Because there are relatively universal standards for route running. There are rules to stemming and stacking receivers. There are relatively common depths that routes are supposed to be ran at. There are slight adjustments that WR's and QB's make in terms of depth, but it's going to be something consistent. So if you run a quick out at 5 yards for instance, you are going to run that quick out at 5 each time with the same QB because it replicates the same target point.
Throws behind on rhythm/timing throws are caused by two things, the QB's bad mechanics or a shorter than expected route. A throw that is way out in front on a rythm/timing pass is caused by two things, the QB's bad mechanics or a deeper than expected route. A throw that is too high to get hands-on at all is simply poor QB play. The ball should be between the numbers and eyes, on most timing passes and if it is above the head of a receiver then a half a yard either way on the depth isn't the issue here.
Dan Orlovsky did a good breakdown of Eagles recievers last year where he was watching tape and explaining how the recievers were leaving Wentz out to dry often. He used the relatively universal standards I mentioned and would explain that even given some leeway you can tell this or that is an issue.
