How much of the game is the QB and coach doing most the mental work and calling a great play and how much of a successful QB/receiver combo is the receiver reading coverages just like the QB?



I was talking to someone and he claimed Jamarr Chase is pretty average at reading coverages and that’s a reason why he disappears sometimes.

I am very curious on what anyone who actually played would have to say to that because i have no idea. I know guys like Devante Adams and an older guys like Steve Smith and Chad Johnson had to be great a reading coverage just based off how successful they were. No way that was all athletic ability.


I would love to know the rate at which elite WRs change their route based off the coverage compares to average WRs.

I used to have a tight end, but age and sedentary lifestyle has changed it.

I went into prison as a Tight End and came out a Wide Receiver.

Many great players are not actually that good at some of the aspects of the game. Goes the other way, too.

I am more amazed at how small he always appears next to the rest of the team.

If he is lacking there, the good news is he can learn. He may never be one of the best at it, but being really good at it is possible.
