Mediocre receivers juggle footballs during clutch moments. And by the way, he’s a veteran making stupid rookie mistakes constantly. Geno put the ball at the right spot, DK runs three yards past the sticks for no reason making the catch more difficult. And the unsportsmanlike in Germany. That’s what mediocre guys do. Yeah he can fill the stat sheet sometimes.
Let’s just say he was ranked #22 last years nfl top 100 and didn’t even make the list for ‘22. That may unprecedented first of all. Second of all- it’s telling.
Clutch is everything,when you don’t have it,your just another run of the mill QB. Russ had it.
Lol ! Are you for real
There actually has been a lot of study into that. Metrics of any kind are limited in football due to the nature of it being a team sport, but in baseball and basketball there are quite a few comparisons that look at average player performance vs. player performance in high leverage situations. The ones I've read generally find little evidence of clutch, but perhaps a lot of evidence of "anti-clutch."
Isn't it possible that each of those players was simply really good? Mahomes played well in that Super Bowl but below his average that season, and they scored just 9 points in their Super Bowl loss the following year. He's also lost plenty of games where he threw an incompletion or interception on the final play of the game (vs. Colts in week three this season). Maybe great players tend to do well in both low and high pressure situations because they are great.
Is that Geno falling apart, or is that a team failure in being in that situation in that first place? One of the consensus good QBs lose a game in the final drive every Sunday and it's naturally dismissed as being a low odds situation. I feel like there may be a bit of double standard with Geno due to his history where when he doesn't pull out a great play it's because he isn't clutch.
From our own 47? We still needed at least 15 yards for a decent shot at a FG, a huge assumption considering how our offense performed subsequent to that play.
Not sure it matters since they got the call right.
I'm not complaining about the call going against us. If they looked at it carefully and made the decision that he didn't have control, then fine, I'll live with it. My point is the rule that supposedly requires replay officials to limit their review to 60 seconds was horribly abused. One of the reasons why the first edition of replay review failed was because replay officials were taking too long to make a decision only to announce to a frustrated crowd that "after further review, the play stands as called." One of the things they did to alienate that problem in Replay 201 was to limit reviews to 90 seconds, which has since been reduced to the current 60 seconds.
He did have a unique style. He only stuck around for as long as he did was because Pete wouldn't or couldn't trade him to other teams. Seahawks where on Patrick Mahomes and I think the Chargers QB when they were coming out of college. They tried to trade up to replace Russ in at least two different drafts.
