re: Jordan Jefferson's Improvement (w/ stats)

he does not have a problem with staring down receivers. he frequently looks off safeties. On some plays he does, but so do a lot of QB's. And when RJ jackson is getting a ton of receptions, it means check-downs are being made.

Other than that nice post.

Look, I'm not trying to be harsh, but you're just wrong here. He stares down WRs on 75-90% of the passing plays. And, I don't think it's his fault. Matt Flynn did the same thing in 07, Lee did the same thing in 08. I think it is more of a coaching deal. The coaches call a ton of pass plays that are curls, short posts, etc. After seeing 3 QBs do it, I think they coach them to look at that WR and throw it there immediately. This has happened far too often the last 3 years for it to be a coincidence.

But, I was there in Tiger Stadium when he was staring down WRs left and right against both Auburn and Tulane and missing wide open WRs. Heck, he'd probably have had atleast 2 more TDs in each of those games if he could go through a progression.
