barrett's downfield accuracy was certainly subpar this season, but one play from the fiesta bowl sticks out to me. it was 3rd down near midfield. jt scrambled a bit in the pocket while looking for an open receiver and ultimately ate the ball. i was miffed because it didn't make sense not to mcsorley the ball deep, giving the covered receiver a chance to make a play or draw a flag. barring a good return, the worst result would have been an arm-punt interception.

of course, my contempt for barrett eating the ball assumed that there were deep receivers to begin with. i mean, receivers are taught to release downfield when the qb scrambles, right? at least one of them, right? however, when the replay was shown from the angle behind the line, the 4+ receivers were just standing there facing barrett. covered and stationary. it's like they all ran curls and decided to sit down. pathetic.

edit: here are the screenshots. it was 3rd-and-7 from clemson's 48. naturally, throughout the course of the play, all the recievers remain with 10 yards of the line of scrimmage.

edit 2: whoever that receiver is on the far left (brown?)... what a waste he is. was he the designated pick-6 option?

You must have an iron stomach to reexamine that game. I've already tried to repress it

I don't know if I can stand to watch again, but I would like to see this play in action. What happened that Prince is so far out of position relative to JT and the DE? Both receivers on the sidelines look worthless. The guy running up the left hash (Campbell maybe?) seems to be maybe doing the right thing, but by then it's too late.

Just an observation:

Look at JT's stats for his 3 years at Ohio State:

http://www.espn.com/college-football/player/stats/_/id/545624/jt-barrett

He had better numbers in 2014 than he did in 2015 or 2016. Most players progress (i.e. get better) each year due to experience and coaching, etc. Yeah, Ohio State had different personnel and the opponents were different teams, but still it should average out and he should have shown more improvement. I can't help believe that a new QB coach and OC will make a world of difference for him in 2017.

Forget stats. His passing digression is clear just by watching him.

If you guys recall, I said I thought Burrow would have been more efficient. Mainly because the d would have been read quicker and the ball would have come out. I now believe JT will be fine with a quality coach. He has before, just needs to be "reprogrammed" and have a decent scheme around him.

those routes bring up another point:

just like we saw time after time after time after all freakin' season long, why in the heck were plays called and receivers taught to sit down short of the first down? when 9 yards are needed, please tell me that there are better routes than 7-yard curls.

If you reliably get 3-4 yards every first down, why would you ever need routes over 7 yards? Just a waste of practice time, I say.
