Not sure what you guys are talking about. I have been pretty consistent with this position over the years. I have argued that it is difficult to grade offensive linemen without knowing exactly what their assignment is on every play. I have argued that it is difficult to judge which DB messed up in coverage when we don't know what their individual assignment and responsibility was. Now I am saying it is hard to judge if a throw was off target because of poor timing/route running by the receiver or if the QB messed up.
When I talk about receivers "adjusting their routes" I am not talking about different options for entirely different routes based on the coverage. Instead I am talking about receivers running a drag pattern more shallow because the LBs don't drop as deep. Or a receiver simply slowing down to sit in a soft spot in one coverage. When i ask how we can tell if the receiver made the wrong adjustment all I get is "watch the film". Well when i watch the film I can't see any way of telling if the receiver made an improper adjustment or if the QB made a bad pass.
