Veritate: my point. poorly communicated, was not that bailing out early for ANY reason was good, but if my QB decides to bail out I'd rather have him do so with full commitment to something rather than confused indecision. Full commitment usually results in much better ball management than confused indecision. I suppose that it can still be argued that my Zaire vs Golson "difference" here is wrong, but I think that commitment vs confusion in your QB [as a desirable trait] is not so debatable.
I understood your point Mike and I agree, I'd rather have a QB who reads and reacts rather than just reads and 2nd guesses but..... that's only the first part. Eventually you need to learn the nuances of QB'ing and a spy on Malik will force him to learn to sit tight in the pocket while he surveys the field.
We are talking a matter of seconds, at best, so I know this is being picky. If Zaire learns to throw from the pocket rather than tuck n run every time there is pressure, I really like our chances for a successful season.
But defenses will force him to beat them with his arm so blitzes, spies and zone coverage will be used against him. Let's hope Kelly and Denbrock and Sanford have the correct gameplan and have prepared Zaire for this moment. We are but 7 days away and finally we'll get to see what we are starting with this season.
CAN'T WAIT! I'll be smoking ribs and I'll have plenty of beer if anyone would like to come over and watch the game.
