Things I noticed...
Golson didn't do as bad as his numbers say or as bad as everyone acted. I didn't get to see him play any until now. He threw 3 bad balls. The two picks and his over throw of Davaris. His first pick was a fantastic read (at first I thought he threw into double coverage then threw a second look I see the window he was hitting and knowing how fast Chris is, that could have been a TD) he just threw a bad ball. The overthrow is just another bad ball. On the drive before his second pick though. He's seeing it. Golson checks down to Riddick, hits Davaris on another good read. The pick...he either didn't see the second UM defender, he was throwing a jump ball to TJ (who was shoved and unable to make the jump), or he meant to throw it away and it just slipped. What I'm getting at is that Golson sees everything really quite well he was just off throwing it. I'm confident he can start nailing his targets like he is capable of and when he does, watch out. His only other problem is he is sometimes a little ancy in the pocket.
Now there's a segue to Tommy's first half performance! (Warning: You may not be happy about some of the things I say about Tommy, but it's nothing against him. I like the kid. Glad we won, he played his part, yada yada.) The one thing I like about Rees' first half performance is how calm he is in the pocket. He trusts his line to hold up. Now where most see good, I see some very frightening things in Tommy's first throw. Tommy doesn't see Davaris when he is wide open in the middle of the field, he throws it to him LATE LATE LATE (especially considering Tommy's inability to put a lot of zip on a ball) and is nearly intercepted. I had so many nightmarish flashbacks flying through my head as that ball sputtered through the air. Now onto the TJ Jones catch. I assure you, that is what that was. That was ALL TJ. I'll give Tommy the credit for the read, but what in the hell is that throw? That's one of those throws Denard got away with on us last year. There was no safety over top of TJ. Put that thing in front of him and let him get it! That's a TD all the way. The Riddick completion was great. Should have been a TD. Tommy overthrows a wide open Daniels in the endzone not a terribly easy throw like the TJ one would have been though. Tommy's last throw of the half, he targets Eifert which isn't bad at all. No crap given on that throw. It got us the first down because of the PI call.
TL;DR version: Golson made great reads, a few bad balls. Tommy gets a mixed review. Some BAD throws turned out to be what worked for him. Still don't like (or understand) how Tommy's ball always lacks velocity and how he makes poor/dangerous decisions.
