I know we won but

I thought the 45 yarder was perfectly thrown. Plax caught it in stride. I do not think that ball was underthrown at all. The one to Carter was, but Eli played a good game.

 

I was critical of Eli for the past month. He was playing horribly, but the last two weeks have been very good weeks for him. I do wish he'd step into his throws when he's under pressure more, but we need to stop expecting him to be perfect. If he plays smart, he's good enough to get us where we want to go.

Because Eli doesn't have great arm strength. He's no Roethlisberger, no Vick when it comes to arm strength. Add bad mechanics to the mix and you've got some ducks floating.

On the other hand, I'm happy with the win.

Eli has a great deep ball and very good arm strength. I wouldn't compare it to Vick or Young, but Roethlishomo, yeah. When you can't step up into the pocket its hard to throw a bomb just the same when you have to roll out and cant plant your feet. Have you noticed when eli gets a good drop back, most of his throws are 8 feet over Plax's head and when he's rushed the balls are at the ground.
