The Giants’ Quarterback Conundrum: A Limitation That’s Costing Games
Last night’s matchup left many scratching their heads, with one glaring issue standing out: the quarterback’s inability to throw the ball downfield. It’s not that he played poorly, hitting intermediate passes with ease. However, his lack of arm strength is becoming a major liability. The first big play to the star receiver? That could’ve been a touchdown if the pass had more zip. And what about that free play to the speedy wideout? Underthrown, again. It’s not like he’s running for his life behind an porous offensive line; he has time to step into throws and unleash the ball.
The problem lies in the quarterback’s physical limitations. Whether it’s due to past injuries or other factors, he simply can’t throw the ball more than 20 yards in the air. That’s a major concern, especially when kids in local parks can throw the ball farther than that.
So, what’s the solution? One potential answer is to bring in a change-of-pace quarterback who can stretch the defense vertically. Instead of relying on trick plays, why not bring in a quarterback who can launch the ball deep and keep defenders honest? The worst-case scenario is an interception, which the team has already experienced numerous times. With a solid offensive line and playmaking receivers, it’s time to explore options that can take advantage of their strengths.
