I just don't understand the critizism of Weber - but even more I don't understand the points of critizism. Below seem to be the main points of critizism being offered.
1) Throws too much to Decker - doesn't look for other options
2) "Stares down" receivers
3) Doesn't throw the ball away
1) We have Eric Decker. If available he should be thrown to EVERY snap. Why not? If you've got him, use him! It would be far worse if we only threw to him 5 times a game. I just don't understand this. Even if he's double covered, like in the Syracuse game, it still is a viable option. I have no problem with the amount of times Weber tries to throw to the best Gopher receiver of all time.
2) Has he thrown a pick this year where he's stared down someone and didn't see a defender or the defender cut in front of the pass? No. The Syracuse pick was a deep ball in a 1-1 situation, and the three yesterday were the result of him under pressure on either 3rd or 4th downs in desparate situations. With as much as he has to scramble around its a wonder he can even look downfield. He doesn't have the time to stare anyone down!!!! Any QB has to at least look for a moment where they're throwing the ball, right? From what I've watched that's all Weber does.
3) This happened twice yesterday. Once he was about to get out of the pocket and run but got tripped up. We've seen him plenty of the times in the past use his legs to make a play downfield. Once in a while it doesn't work. If we want to be that picky and talk about two plays, then fine. I still think its a miracle he hasn't taken more sacks.
