I'm sure the safety who was standing right over him at the first down marker would not have moved once the ball is thrown.

This is essentially what you are saying, correct?

clip 3.the ball was on the 48 yard line the slot wr ran straight down the field the safety back pedaled to his 27 as the wr was around the 37 =10 yard cushion.look for your self its 1:17 into the video. at the beginning of the play the slot wr is lined up on the 50 yd line as the safety is on the 34 yd line. the OLB drops back and then follows Cooley to the inside leaving the slot locked up with the safety. AGAIN this is the NFL you wont have wide open WR's on each play,you have to hit the windows as they open.

A ten yard cushion is meaningless when he's 20 yards down the field.

If he's even five yards behind the safety, then he's "wide" open by NFL standards. Having a safety standing right over him at the first down marker does not give any possible way to complete a pass, unless it's an option route which this very clearly was not.

Also, this wasn't even a read play. At all. Campbell's job on the play was just to throw Moss the ball. Using this clip against as an argument against a QB is a fundamental misuderstanding of NFL offense, and is a waste of my time.

You should know this already, because it's common sense, but the fact that you do not shows me why you thought Wilcots made a good argument in the first place.

It means you throw the ball to the wr and let him have a chance at makin a play.
the first down was 17 yds away. big cushion

No. This is mind bogglingly stupid.

When a play is called by the coach, you call the play in the huddle, and then you go execute it, even if it's not guaranteed to work.

This is elementary stuff, dude.

You ever hear of the term 'AUDIBLE' ? Its done all the time by the good QB's. you go to the line,if you see something you dont like you change the play.OR you call a Timeout and re-evaluate the situation. And dont say he cant do these things, if a 3rd stringer can change plays at the line--Colt vs Jets in preseason-- im sure that power is not his alone and is also given to the starter.

Wait, you want to talk about the science of audibles now? You want to talk about when a QB is supposed to audible and when he's not?

DB, if you were in over your head before with the elementary stuff, understanding how NFL audibles work isn't happening for you anytime soon. You can't even look at the tape and see the progression yet, dude.
