Best play of his career thus far. Anyone have a replay of the scramble and toss?

Re: EJ to Chandler
I don't really think it was lucky. EJ kept the play alive and made a play. If any other QB makes that play the EJ does nothing right crowd would praise him and say EJ never makes plays like that. Since he did it's just luck.

Re: EJ to Chandler
I wouldn't call it "lucky". I'd settle on "instinctual". He obviously has some elusiveness and evasiveness. He popped out of the sack and found the receiver.
If we are going to emphasis EJ's bad plays then we should also place equal emphasis on the good.

Re: EJ to Chandler
To the OP, there's a link on the official website (30 sec commercial for a 20 second clip BTW).
There's no question EJ is an athlete, and a pretty good one. There's no question he's a guy of character, and puts in the time to improve his craft.
But, being athletic does not equate to being a good QB. Yeah, he's got "big hands" and all the "measurables" .
And Greg Williams was "very organized".
Props to Greg for being organized, and props to EJ for being athletic."You can't be a real country unless you have beer and an airline - it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need beer."

Re: EJ to Chandler
It's praiseworthy, but the most notable EJ to Chandler was the one that never happened. It's the last vines clips in JW's All-22.
EJ rolls out, fixates on 'Save Me!' Robert Woods, and doesn't see Chandler standing by himself on SD's 6 yard line. With nothing but green grass and blue paint ahead of him.

Wow. That was bad. He's always looking for the short throw.

I realize he's 13 games in and he's going to make mistakes that experienced QB's don't make. But he should be last the point where he is making this many in the same game.
