Like I said some folks have their minds made up and nothing is going to change it. Teams work quick passes early in PS, just like basketball players start with layup drills. But if you've got an agenda; you'll ignore this and go with what fits. 

Andy has a higher YPA in this preseason than he does in his career average. Musta spent a career covering for Whit.

I am just not sure if some of the bloggers on here actually watched the game last nite.. this idea that we just threw quick passes is crazy..

First lets clear up something on football now vs the old days of QB.. Today many plays are run out of shot gun, so you are already 3 to 5 yards off the line.. so if you do a 7 step drop, you are now probably 10 to 12 yards behind the line before you throw the ball, this does not happen much at all.  So a 3 to 4 step drop out of shot gun is a 7 step drop under center.. and this is what many teams do now.  

so i looked at the tape, i believe Andy attempted to pass 15 plays, out of those plays I saw 1 to 2 passes what i would consider take snap and throw the ball.. most of his passes were a mix of a 3 to 4 step drop from shot gun, roll out passes that take a few seconds to develop etc.. 

He also threw the ball downfield, i believe out of the 15 plays he attempted 4/5 passes over 10 yards, his sack was a play action with a 3 to 4 step drop from shot gun (not a quick pass), so over a third of the plays were throws or designed throws over 10 yards.  

The funny part is what probably could have been a score but for sure a big gain was a 3 step slant to AJ Green that was dropped.. so a semi quick pass that should have went for a big gain.
