Not really. One bad throw but there’s nothing ******* there. 

Both picks were bad throws, everything deep is floating and he's not getting rid of the football. He just had an open receiver for a touchdown and somehow scrambled his way into a sack and fumble.

Line and receivers aren't doing him any favors, but he's compounding it with bad decisions.

Look at how his hips were when Davis broke open. Pressure on the left side caused him to shift away. As a lefty, you can’t make that throw. 

The first pick was basically a punt. It was like 3rd and 16 and he took a shot. Not gonna blame him there. 

Outside of the 2nd pick, I’m not seeing a bad decision. Seeing pressure get to him and seeing receivers rarely open.

On 13 dropbacks, Hornibrook has thrown for 48 yards with two interceptions and has been sacked twice for -9 yards and a fumble. On 11 carries, Jonathan Taylor has 62 yards and a touchdown. Yeah, maybe just feed Taylor 25 times in the second half.

We should’ve never gone away from him. That’s all on Chryst.

The issue is that he could have pretty easily just slid to his right in the pocket. It wasn't a real threat on the left side, rusher was still completely engaged. There certainly wasn't enough to force a panic roll out into a sack.

First pick wasn't too painful because of down and distance, but throw it short and give your receiver a chance to adjust, especially with a safety over the top. He gave the WR no chance to make a play with the ball placement and loft on it.

He's doing nothing positive. Admittedly, absolutely terrible might have been a stretch, but he can't throw into tight windows and that's real trouble when none of your receivers are separating.

Disagree.  He has had multiple passes ubderthrown where the WR was open deep and the ball wasn't even close.  The pass to Penniston was terrible.

How many times is it gonna take to realize he’s not a deep ball guy? He’s a short and medium route thrower. Expecting him to be anything more is your fault. NW knows it...it’s on PC to stop being stubborn and make adjustments.
