I would not want to give Utah's defense more motivation to separate his head from his shoulders or motivate the refs to hold onto the yellow flag on a possible late hit.Struting around doesnt help our cause...but his confidence does. Cuts both ways.

But he plays hard and there can be no doubt that tough play is contagious.
It was his only TD pass of the season.Was Zanders TD pass his last play of the game?
I kept seeing holes where Lagow couldve ran for 4-6 yards after the fake handoff. I know Zander wouldnt have been afforded those holes, but had he they'd been 6-15 yard holes.
Sudfield was REALLY good!
How many times was he even allowed to pass?It was his only TD pass of the season.
There was a reason for that. His arm strength was below average, as was his accuracy. He didn't play much because he couldn't help them much beyond the very occasional change of pace.How many times was he even allowed to pass?
LOL Arm strength? That's been disproven so many times. The TD pass Zander threw went as far in the air as any Lagow has completed all year.There was a reason for that.

Distance and velocity aren't the same thing. There's a reason why Wilson, John's and Allen used him only in very limited situations. He simply wasn't talented enough to play the position on a regular basis. A very tough kid and easy to root for, but he was very limited in physical ability at this level.LOL Arm strength? That's been disproven so many times. The TD pass Zander threw went as far in the air as any Lagow has completed all year.
He also had another long bomb earlier in the year. The kid can throw and throw accurately. But his forte is having the option to do both run and pass, which we badly needed.
The fact he didn't play a down in the 2nd half is just inexplicable, unless it was for some other reason - like maybe he was disciplined for strutting a little bit after his TD. With the way our offense stalled, there's just no reason for him not to get in to change things up a little.
I wasn't pro-Zander at all this year, but this is just plain wrong. Distance and velocity are inseparably related by the laws of physics. If you want the ball to go farther, it also has to go faster. If you have one, you also have the other.Distance and velocity aren't the same thing.
No. Two people can throw the ball the same distance but one can get it there quicker than the other. Lack of arm strength requires a greater arc to achieve the same distance. You must've flunked physics.I wasn't pro-Zander at all this year, but this is just plain wrong. Distance and velocity are inseparably related by the laws of physics.

You do understand arcs and tangents and the conservation of energy right? Which requires more energy?...throwing a straight line over 10 yards or throwing 20 yards up to go 10? A pitcher throws a fast ball by flattening the arc...it will arrive at the catcher quicker than a curve ball...did it require more energy? Have you ever flown an airplane? Energy is exchanged for either speed or altitude, but its the same amount of energy.No. Two people can throw the ball the same distance but one can get it there quicker than the other.

The topic wasn't energy, it was the incorrect notion that distance and velocity were inexorably linked in respect of throwing a football down field. By the way, you unwittingly made my point for me in your post. Thanks, even if you didn't mean to do it. LolYou do understand arcs and tangents and the conservation of energy right?

Remember this simple tenent, if you exchange energy for altitude you lose DISTANCE. To go the same distance requires more energy.
Hows your physics degree? Lol
Not so fast my friend! Your point was that Zander threw it high for lack of arm strength. You so fundamentally misunderstand the physics of motion you dont understand the answer.The topic wasn't energy, it was the incorrect notion that distance and velocity were inexorably linked in respect of throwing a football down field.

Do you really not understand that Zander needed to get more air under the ball because his arm strength was very, shall we say, modest? Does that really escape you?Not so fast my friend!

Point made..mlol.
