Re: QB Won't Make a Decision

I'm just going to start posting all of the examples of what I'm convinced is a divide by zero error.

On this play, the QB waits for the WR to finish running his route. The receiver finishes the route, and instead of throwing to the primary receiver, or looking at the secondary receiver (who should have been primary since he was running the short route), or running, or throwing the ball away, the QB just stands there: https://mfn6.myfootballnow.com/gamecenter/view/5313#1012619

This suggests to me that there is something programatically preventing the QB from making a decision.

Along those lines, I'm getting pretty ******* tired of the QB selects a random WR before the start of the play. When I run a short passing play, I want the QB to throw the **** ball to the receiver RUNNING THE SHORT ROUTE and not the receiver running the alternate route. This is happening way too frequently.

This one was obviously caused because the QB was staring at the RB who is blocking: https://cust17.myfootballnow.com/gamecenter/view/2896#546809

For what it's worth, I tend to shy away from calling plays where the QB has the ability to make a 'costly' decision in their progression order to avoid exactly this situation.

How do you do that exactly? Only run plays where the QB has 4 or 5 short routes to choose from? The reason why I want plays where there are only 1 or 2 routes of a particular distance is because I want to isolate players in particular situations. Third and three? I want to match my TE up against a LB while my WR runs the clear out route.

Here's another one that happens when the QB stares at the RB that is blocking: https://mfn70.myfootballnow.com/gamecenter/view/981#181905

And another one like above out of the 311 where the QB chooses the wrong receiver and then won't throw when the receiver is done running the route: https://mfn70.myfootballnow.com/gamecenter/view/981#181915

Two of these bullshit plays in one game: https://mfn70.myfootballnow.com/gamecenter/view/981#181979

I run that 311 a lot in third and short to throw to the TE. Why does this QB not even look at him this game?

Back to back during preseason so I'm sure this is my fault and not a code problem: https://mfn2.myfootballnow.com/gamecenter/view/5333#979326

nobody is open again and the play is designed for the rb to chip and release and if its not then be thankful he dident throw because it should a been picked.

everyone ive seen your line gets pumbeled and qb runs for his life with blanket coverage
