I like the coin toss idea...

Petty looks off the primary and goes deep for a nice TD strike. Not clear whether the look off was designed it may be. The 3rd down conversion/almost fumble was a nice throw.

I like his grit.

Petty with a brilliant 49 yard drop in the bucket.

That was a beautiful pass by Petty.

Some on here have criticized Petty for being a one read QB...that TD pass was no his first read nor were more than two of his prior completions...get real!

It's very early and you can clearly see the non-NFL style offense. But he still is taking command and making plays... so far.

I want to see more progression plays... what he does when it isn't a quick hit to the primary guy.

To be fair it looked like a design look off and they run a first read and throw it offense.

I say designed. The receiver just looked like he knew the ball as coming. Still, Petty has to see that one-on-one match-up and force the look off. Nothing wrong with his accuracy.

There was a little rush but no one in his face on that play.

He's dealt with the pressure nicely so far. Even the lofted pass on the scramble looked like it might be throwing at pass interference

There's the flip side... Had to make progressions on 3rd and didn't get it done. If the guy hadn't slipped it looked like he would have been open. Just remember. He's not a 1st rounder.

Petty made some nice throws on that last drive, his receivers didn't help him at all.

The TD pass was a one-read play, deep. Nice throw, but the look-off was by design.

That was a cool play, not by design!

He's a chain mover in a non-nfl offense with grit and a nice deep ball. Why not let him do what he does for a year while he develops progressions and decision making in a pro style offense?
