EJ can't make this throw

[Goobylal]

Wait, what was so amazing about Orton's and Ryan's throws again? Nothing much other than throwing up prayers and their receivers coming down with it.

Easy. Orton's pass needed both velocity and touch to fit it into that window. EJ just lobbed up a rainmaker that I now shrug off as a lucky throw--especially since he didn't have another one that good the rest of the year--and certainly hasn't had any memorable moments this preseason either

As for Ryan's pass, the circumstance makes it great and he hit his receiver perfectly knowing how much time was left on the clock, how far he had to go, AND standing in there knowing he was going to be hit.

LOL. That's not the same throw. ******s here.

Never claimed it was a different throw. It was just easier to see it quickly on the bottom but higher quality with the link. Who taught you how to talk to people?

Manuel's throw to Stevie is not the same throw as Orton's throw.

Stevie Johnson was more open than Rashied Davis was.

One throw is splitting coverage and the other throw is a lob and go outrun the defender to get it.

Come on now

You EJ haters have plenty of ammo to use against him. Making **** up is not needed. To start a thread saying he can't make certain throws is stupid. He can make all the throws.

Calm down, browhoa.png

btw, you forgot to answer this:

Was EJ's throw a lob, yes or no?

[Novacane]

It was a perfect pass put right where it had to be.

LOL! Not sure what criteria you guys use for "great throw," but both Davis and Jenkins were wide open by a decent margin and far more than Stevie was. EJ led Stevie perfectly and put it where only he could make a play on the ball. And in Orton's case, he threw it late which allowed Houston to close the 4 yard gap. And in both cases it was single coverage, not double like the pass to Stevie.

It certainly isn't lob acuity

He can't even make throws that JP Losman could make.

And we all know how that played out.

But call me a hater instead.

Ryan's throw was a lob. But just so that we stay on one track, if EJ had thrown it harder, you'd have been impresssed? Knowing it likely hits a defender in the back of the head?

Or are you saying EJ can't throw a ball with velocity? And if so, really? Did you see the 2-pt conversion or the game-winning TD to Stevie, which was little different from Orton's pass?

No, so long as we stop comparing it to the throw in the OP which required more than a flick of the wrist

It's the same damn throw. The ******s are the ones that WANT ej to fail so bad they are blinded.

Not even close.

Again, you mean like Ryan's throw? Or are you talking about Orton's late throw?

******

Excuse me but this sort of discourse is inappropriate.

That was 2008. There's no indication Kyle Orton can make that throw anymore. I sure hope he can, but let's be real here.

Don't be ashamed. It was a valiant effort.
