Don't know if it's true but it has to be, at least in the last couple years. I don't know how he can keep doing that

In the middle of getting sacked, and way too quickly. Rather he not throw it into the field of play and just get it out of there.

Rather take the intentional than a sack w/ risk of fumble or a heave into play w/ risk of INT.

What is wrong with intentional grounding? He’s going to take the sack otherwise. Same outcome either way. At least with the grounding, there is the chance that there is a receiver somewhere in the area, and it goes as an incompletion.

Removes risk of fumble/strip as well

4th Most last year. Tied with Mahomes and Lamar. Minny #1.

In 2022 it says 2nd most.

He needs to get rid of it sooner multiple times. It’s on him. The last one this game was on him but who cares because he threw a dart for a touchdown lol

It’s an area he can improve on for sure, ok to admit it.

I'll have to watch it back, but that pressure felt fast compared to what was needed on that concept.

Sacks happen. We act like they're all avoidable. At the end of the day, we WANT our QB to hang in the pocket strong and look for the open guy.

Some of it I get, same with Russ and sacks, mahomes here etc. these guys are always trying to make a play and often they do. So it’s a little of taking the good with the bad

It’s why I never killed Russ for trying to extend plays, but ts true you want your guy making plays. Sometimes situationally though you have to throw it away.

I wonder if having the 33rd ranked OL has anything to do with it? Probably not.
