fathom Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 23, 2008 -> 03:51 AM) Not true at all. Touch is the ability to correctly gauge distance, angle and ball flight to both deep and short routes. Touch is the ability to be able to read the correct distance, velocity and angle on a throw at all different lengths of throws. Like the great pass to Finley a few minutes ago.

RockRaines Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Dec 22, 2008 -> 09:45 PM) Well, when referencing a quarterback, usually "touch" means taking a bit off a throw. When talking about deep balls, Orton needs to put more on it, not put touch on it. He underthrows a lot of guys deep. Putting touch on deep balls would be more like lobbing one in or something, which he doesn't need to do. The trajectory is fine, the distance is not. Not true at all.

StrangeSox Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 22, 2008 -> 09:51 PM) No doubt in my mind that Rex is better than Orton right now. If Orton's coming back next year, I can only pray his terrible 2nd half this season is due to the injury. Rex was no better than what Kyle's doing now. Don't kid yourself. They're both mediocre-bad QB's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I am far from a football expert, but if you blitz all your LBs, like we just did on 3rd down, why not have the CB's up on the WR to take away that quick pass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babich needs to be fired and Orton needs to be a backup. I would have absolutely 0 problems with Orton as our backup but he is not acceptable as a starter.

Yeah, I guess we had consistently good performances from guys we expect, like Briggs and Gould. I was just contrasting how I feel at the end of this Bears season to how I felt at the end of the Sox season this year. I was/ am optimistic about the Sox because we had the emergence of Danks, Floyd, Rameriz and The Carlos Quentin. I don't have any optimistic feelings about the Bears.

whitesoxbrian Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 We have a stud, automatic mismatch in Olsen and he has like 10 catches in 5 weeks. This is a joke. Turner and Babich need to be canned. Bring in Garcia next year and draft a QB in the first 4 rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
