Not that it matters, but it sure looks like Fitz was either tipped or unable to complete his motion. The read was good, the route was good, the WR is open... and so was the CB :(

Like Solomon said at the time 99% of the QB's throw that ball to the back pylon so it's the receivers or no ones. Either Fitz under threw it by about 12 yards or maybe it was tipped. If so then it's still an issue because he's had about 15 tipped balls this season.

Yeah, it seems like Fitz gets more passes tipped than the midget savior used to.

I think underthrowing it by 12-15 yards (with air) is a worse problem. One problem can be solved by a better RT the other one can't.

You can't tell squat from that clip.

I just watched it on Game rewind and it was not tipped. He was falling backwards when he threw it, I'm not sure why, the defender was close, but Fitz did not have to fall backwards, it was like he was throwing up a fade away jumper. His mechanics and footwork remain terrible. Hiring QB coach David Lee has done nothing to help Fitz, he still continues to throw off his back foot or heave it like a shot-put. It does seem like he has a lot of passes tipped at the line but according to the stats there have only been 4 this season. The one stat that sticks out the most to me, is the percentage of incompletions due to poor throws, at 50.8% it is the highest in the league. Over 21% of his pass attempts are poor throws.
The stats I used can be found at, http://stats.washingtonpost.com/fb/playerstats.asp?id=7426&team=2
They have pretty good stats on all players. Click on players and you can check stats by position.





Type - Number - Pct of Incomp - Pct of Overall Attempts
Pass Dropped 7 11.1 4.6
Poor Throw 32 50.8 21.2
Pass Defensed 14 22.2 9.3
Pass Hit at Line 4 6.3 2.6
Other -2 -3.2 -1.3
Intercepted 8 12.7 5.3

Don't think it was tipped. Just underthrown, unlike his previous two long ball attempts in the game which were overthrown to wide open receivers.
