Not sure the average person knows just how difficult that throw is. Very impressive.
They say the hardest thing to do in sports is hit a MLB fast ball. Maybe, but a very close 2nd has to be what an NFL QB does a hundred times a game-- the ability to call out the protection, read the coverage, determine, for example, that because it's cover 3, you know that the Z receiver is going to run a much skinnier post than if it were a cover 2, and your X is going to cut the break on his out 3 yards shorter, and your slot is going to COMPLETELY change his route based on man or zone, determined at the line of scrimmage by how tight the defender plays him. He's up tight, but you know it's a disguise based on where the safeties are. But does the slot know it's a disguise? Because if your receivers don't recognize the exact same things as you, you're probably going to throw a pick and fans will mock your wife on twitter. And you do all of this in the time it takes to walk from the huddle to the line of scrimmage. Oh...that DB on the slot just moved back. Good, you knew he would. But can you trust the rookie slot to know this? And who's that angry man barking like a dog at you from across the line of scrimmage? Wait...what's the snap count?
