Was it a dumb throw? Absolutely. If he had thrown it to the back corner instead of short, it was a TD. So, while not the smartest throw, he wasn’t throwing it into a quadruple covered receiver. The guy was open. It was a hard throw. He tried it and failed.
This is why you play super talented guys vs a school like SUU. So they can learn that this isn’t high school, you can’t get away with passes like that against s**tty teams, so don’t do them anymore.
But if you are the coaches, in a lot of ways it was a great throw. He saw the field correctly, he saw an open receiver and tried to make a play. All those things are good things. NOW, he chose to throw to the open guy that required the most difficult play when a much easier one was open. That is great as well. There is so much to teach there. The talent is there. He sees the field. He is processing things. He just needs to learn that football is hard and taking the easy plays is usually better.
I was ecstatic with watching Wilson. He was fantastic last night.
