    There's some truth here, but the McDonnell Douglas execs who took over Boeing (that's my favorite part of the merger, somehow through financial wizardry, McDonnell Douglas used Boeing's money to be bought and take control of BA!)  also were the ones who moved the HQ to Chicago expressly to get the managers away from the engineers in Seattle.  Basically they couldn't cut costs the way they wanted too if the engineers could walk in somebodies office and say "This is going to kill people and let me explain why"

    Boeing is lucky nobody was killed. The odds of those seats being empty is unbelievable since airlines oversell flights so much.

    When was the last time an American was killed in a large airliner accident aside from the woman on the Southwest flight?

    it's the fucking future with supermega computers and forcefields and telekinesis and and we can't do shit.  i'm pissed.

    It’s time to dust off the old Apollos that took us to the moon few times because this new technology isn’t doing the job.

    Mitchell is not going to get to the pylon, if Quinn throws it with heat. He was late on the softball. AD turns inside, not outside on his "break". Mitchell seems to be running a sloppy curl/stop route (perhaps an adjustment to the Db)  and Quinn is throwing a fade.

    I’m not saying throw it AT the pylon, I’m saying for Quinn to throw it in the space between AD and the pylon. 

    Look at AD as he crosses the goal line. The defender is still far off. Yes the play call is a fade, but why not adjust the throw toward the front side of AD when the defender is on the opposite side?

    I get the point Thatguy is trying to make when it comes to the WR creating leverage, but all of that shit is moot when the defender is so far off and the separation is already there.

    Quinn has to adjust the throw towards the space between AD and the pylon instead of lobbing it to the back where the side of the “N” is. Look at all that open space in front yet he decides to throw it into an area that is nearly horizontal to where the defender is.

    What the hell are you talking about Derka? So you think Quinn is supposed to throw a route AD isn't running because he SEES something else they could've done that would've worked out better even though AD doesn't? How stupid a take is that? AD is the guy who has to recognize that and Quinn is the guy who has to throw it. Otherwise the ball gets airmailed out of bounds at the pylon with AD still running the original route. The fade was called. You can tell the fade was called because of the route AD is running. As a QB you throw the ball WHERE the receiver is, not where you think he should be. The ball is moving 3 times as fast as the receiver is moving. You throw it somewhere other than where he is going/expecting it and no one will be there to catch it. No one said it was the right play. I said that is WHERE you throw the ball if its a fade and your receiver is 6 inches taller than the DB. As I said above, if you are AD your route stem needs to attack the inside leverage which will give you more room to work. Then AD should've come back and got that ball at its highest point. He did none of that.

     

    This is what you do. You jumped on the "Quinn Is Trash" bandwagon early and so you are doubling down and like a good captain, going down with the ship.

    Since you are new to football this is how you run an end zone fade, or a fade in general.

     

     

     

    Notice the guy talking keeps talking about attacking inside leverage and not allowing yourself to drift outside because the DB will close on you, which is exactly what AD did. You will find these exact talking points on every video explaining how to run a fade no matter if its goalline, vs man, or vs zone. So you can argue with coaches now about whether or not AD ran a solid route. Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it's wrong.

    The top pic is the point at which Quinn releases the ball. The trajectory of the ball ends almost horizontal to the defender who is far behind. There is no need to pin the receiver between the front of the ‘N’ and the sideline when you can adjust the throw to be a few feet closer in the space between AD and the pylon.

    So what if I’ve been critical of Quinn before? Would my opinion be more valid to you if I was constantly praising him? 

    I’m here in the Quinn Ewers thread talking about football and you’re talking about me going down with the ship because I’ve been critical of Quinn before. What ship? We can all have differing opinions about Quinn and his football IQ without turning it into some personal vendetta.

    Last time for me on this play. 
     

    It wasn’t a great throw by Quinn but it was catchable in bounds, imo. He was under pressure and had to get rid of the ball where he could give AD a chance to make the catch.
     

    If AD breaks to the outside instead of doing a 360 degree spin he could have been in position to jump sooner, jumping at the same time the DB jumps and essentially “blocking him out”, like a rebound. He’s taller and bigger than the DB, so I think he wins that battle. The ball is slapped away right on the boundary line. I think if AD could have jumped straight up earlier he could have made the catch and gotten a foot in bounds. 
     

    Maybe Quinn was improvising because of the pressure and threw it to a different spot than AD was expecting, we don’t know. But, I don’t think the blame should fall all on Quinn for that play.

    All of this shit boils down to the fact that Quinn is the field general, his job is to read the defense and adjust his throw based on coverage, and he still throws a fucking fade to the back of the end zone when it’s clear how far off the defender is playing.

    This has nothing to do with how many games Penix has played or losing to the “better team.” It boils down to a situation where we need to score a TD to go to the national championship, and Quinn can’t see the soft coverage and still decides to lob it to the side of the end zone. AD is only heading to the pylon if Quinn throws to the pylon, which he did not do. AD ran a stupid looking route because Quinn made a stupid throw. Quinn should be able to see this and go into autopylon mode after starting 20+ games.

    When you think you know something you create a whole argument on the basis of something you know but in reality is complete bullshit. For example, your description of the route AD ran. The route stem should be driven into the DB to get him to react, and then you break to the outside giving you the space you need to operate. That is receiver 101. Instead AD is drifting toward the sideline LEADING the DB to him. The DB had no guess work because AD's lazy route running told him where the throw was going to go.

    You see, you come on here and blame that on the QB when that is entirely on AD for picking the game winning/losing play not to put forth effort. He was playing like he didn't expect the ball to come to him. It's lazy, and its what he has been doing on and off all season so no surprise that it showed up here. Everyone has a job to do on this play. Quinn needs to throw the ball high and to the outside. AD is supposed to create separation with proper route running, and then go get the ball thrown where he has the advantage. The DB is supposed to protect against inside breaking routes by sitting with inside leverage and break on anything going outside. Guess which two did their jobs and who didn't? Now go find me any expert that says the way AD ran his route there from 13 yards out was correct. I will hang up and wait.

     

    ADs route running does not negate the fact that Quinn did not recognize the soft coverage with the DB 7-8 yards off the receiver and make the adjustment. The QB has to know that AD is open if he throws it to the pylon. The lob out of the side of the end zone was the wrong throw when it’s clear the adjustment should have been to throw it towards the pylon. Colt McCoy was even standing in the end zone and was like WTF dude why are you throwing it outside like that.

    It saddens me not only that there are so many stupid people...but that they choose to display their stupidity so publicly. Quinn is QB1. He's a RS-Soph returning as the Heisman frontrunner who had a season stat line of 272 of 394 for 69.0%, 3,479 yards, an 8.8 ypc, with 22 TD against 6 INT and a 158.6 passer rating, but, more importantly, a 12-1 regular season with a Big 12 championship and 0:01 and one misread pass away from playing for a national championship in a game where the other team had a nearly perfect outing until the very end of the 4th quarter. If you want Arch over Quinn for next season right now, you probably still think John Chiles should starts and VY should be moved to WR.

    Kindly go fuck your own faces so you can stop the noise pollution coming from your own mouths but, in any event, pretty please with sugar on top, shut the fuck up.

    If Quinn’s stats are so good then why does he have to come back another year to improve his draft stock? His stats are almost identical to Drake Maye. Maye lost to a bunch of shitty teams in addition to playing in a shitty ACC conference, yet he is predicted to go in the first round of the draft.

    You get to the spot and jump vertically. He got to the spot and went for the lean and pose. Look at his feet. He jumps vertically and he has plenty of room to come down in bounds. Anyone who doesn't think that has never had any decent athletic ability. AD is a player who plays hard exactly 3 or 4 plays a game and soft the rest. Lazy route running, allowing himself to physically get overwhelmed vs smaller DBs. Par for the fucking course for him and Worthy. There was nothing wrong with that throw. He simply lost the physical battle with a DB 6 inches shorter than him. Want to.

    It looked like a shitty throw from this angle. AD was already moving sideways and there’s no way he could have stopped and jumped vertically. Momentum would have taken him out of bounds. The throw is so high you can barely see it in the frame.
