Top 30 QB Prospects of the Modern Era

[TrustMeIamRight]

What? An over the top floating ball is a 50/50 ball no matter how you want to slice it. It was technically throw a tad bit high, but Ross makes a hell of a play catching it off a tip.

I really don't know how anyone watches that play and thinks anything other than it's a hell of a play by Ross. But hey, if people were able to think for themselves, they wouldn't need ESPN to tell them what to think.

The hypocrisy in this post is STRONG. Keep digging that grave.

A 50/50 ball?

The ONLY person who could make a play on that ball was the WR. You do know what a 50/50 ball is, right? By calling that play a 50/50 ball — my guess is no.

Do you think it's called a 50/50 ball because it's an actual equal 50/50% chance of it being caught? Or because it's a play that you throw an expect your receiver to come down with? You still want to put the ball where only your guy can catch it as much as possible.

It's a 50/50 ball because the CB is in phase and it's thrown up high. A good CB will turn their head and try to block the ball, while this true freshman CB starts to lose his balance. The ball is slightly overthrown, and the receiver makes a great play.

He is just trying to come up with more excuses now. It is entertaining to watch the president of the ‘Nick Saban fan club’ talk himself into a corner.

Then questioning other posters knowledge, while calling a throw his CB had 0% chance on and calling it a 50/50 ball.

Or complaining how Bama was starting true freshman, while a true freshman QB is throwing to a true freshman WR.

Good times. Alabama needs to get embarrassed more often — this is entertaining.

There is nothing to make excuses about.

Clemson was better in all phases of the game, outcoached Alabama etc. I said so during the game, I'm saying now. Not my fault I'm not gonna suck the dick of a system QB.

A great catch and a perfect throw that the CB couldn’t make a play on. It’s possible to have a great catch and great throw. HTH.

At that point in the game our QB and WR were true freshman as well

It was overthrown and the reciever made a great 1 handed catch as the CB lost his balance.

And for the record, I never said he wasn't a great QB. But if you think he even remotely holds a candle to Watson, you're an idiot. I know when a QB beats Alabama, and this is not one of those cases. Deal with it.

Maybe it wouldn’t have been a tipped pass to himself if the CB wasn’t holding his other arm.

I think Ross owned him on that exchange. Ross was a 5 star from Alabama, we missed hard on him.

Clemson must have had some satellite camps.

It’s only going to get worse with Michigan stealing yet another Bama OC.

Wow. You honestly don’t know what a 50/50 ball is.

Just stop now. You are making yourself look foolish.

I agree — there is no excuses to make, yet you’ve continued to list them with each post.

This is priceless. Too bad Alabama has the most talent every year, this board would be so much more entertaining if we got to listen to 420 ramble on like this, when Bama loses.

 

[TrustMeIamRight]

Maybe it wouldn’t have been a tipped pass to himself if the CB wasn’t holding his other arm.

Maybe when 420 called it a 50/50 ball — he did so because the WR only had use of 50% of his arms, while the CB held onto the other 50%.

Tell the people who made this video they also don't know what a 50/50 ball is. Wonder why they would hire these idiots.

 

[4down20]

More people who apparently don't know what a 50/50 ball is according to our local expert.

 

[4down20]

Because you know, there are football teams out there who plan on throwing balls that have exactly 50% chance for either to catch it because the name for it is only meant to be literal.



Fucking dumbass.

I do like 420s determination tho

When the CB has ZERO CHANCE to even make a play on the ball — it isn’t a 50/50 ball. What you posted WAS NOT a 50/50 ball.

But you keep fighting that fight — we will keep laughing and thanking you for the entertainment.

Alabama really needs to get embarrassed more often. This is pure gold.

 

[Edisto_Tiger]

That's called a 50/50 ball and Clemson throws them a lot.

You think that play is good QB and not an excellent catch by Ross?

Btw, #28 is the guy who replaced Savion Smith, he was a true freshman CB. At that point in the game, both our CB's were true freshman.

That's NOT a 50/50 ball! GTFO! Do you honestly think your DB had a 50% chance at catching that? NO. No way that you believe that. Your man had 0% chance at that ball.

That's not what a 50/50 ball is. Go look at the video where they do the "best 50/50" catchers and show highlights etc, none of those balls are thrown are "50% chance at both catching the ball". Just because it's called a 50/50 ball doesn't mean it's literally about %'s.

It's a 50/50 ball because the receiver is well covered and the DB is "in phase" until the last moment when he loses his balance. Since he's throwing to a covered guy, it's kind of "50/50", but obviously there are many factors that change those odds such as throwing the ball where the receiver has a better chance of catching it. Usually up higher with the taller types, in this case a little over thrown and so on. For example, if a receiver has a foot reach on a guy and it's thrown up high and only he can get it, it's still called a 50/50 ball because he was defended, not because in the end there as basically 0% chance the defender could catch it.

So no, it doesn't end up being that because the Alabama defender gets owned by Ross in the hand wringing, loses his balance, doesn't turn his head or do anything other than stopping himself from falling down. If he doesn't lose balance, maintains phase, turns his head and all that, he has a chance to make a play, although the ball was a tad overthrown, so I mean you really just have to tip your hat to Ross IMO because he is the one who caused Jobe to lose his balance after the hand stuff, and also the one who was able to tip it back to himself to make the pass. In other words - it was "0%" because of Ross, he was covered - some of you say too much - until that point.

It's not an insult and I'm not sure why it's being viewed as such. Throwing good 50/50 balls is part of the game, and it was a great 50/50 throw. But sorry, not going to pretend like it was some pass many QB's couldn't or don't make on a weekly basis or like he threw someone open on it.

I wasn't the one who posted it. But the person who did post it did so with the sarcasm of "Wide open" along with it, meaning it was a pass to a well covered receiver, aka a 50/50 ball.

You're loco amigo. Over the shoulder on the sideline, in stride, is not a 50-50 ball no matter how tight the coverage because only the WR has the chance to catch it. Dude was holding his other arm and the WR still caught it nothing 50-50 about that.
