dw is playing pretty good ball, but atleast 25% of his throws have a legit chance of getting picked. almost hafta hold your breath, just like at times these past few yrs at CU
he threw up a few jumpballs throughout the game yesterday and has been relatively lucky on those type throws so far this season
the difference between him and alex smith was pretty noticeable

In all honesty, the best way to avoid holding your breath, is to, don't watch Texan FB. Watching another team play you may get lucky also, you won't have to hold your breath. But then again, all hall of fame QBs have taken risk while helping their team get to and play in championship games!!!

Kansas City WRs were open. Houston's WRs hardly ever had separation from DBs... when they were DW4 got them the ball, when not he put the ball where they could get it.... Nuk did that for 3 years at Clemson.

Nuk simply needs to know where DW4 is going to put the ball and he will get it 90% of the time.... he is the best receiver I ever saw at Clemson.... he and Sammy made TBoyd look great but most of Sammy's catches he had separation,

You might remember him. Eleven time Pro Bowl, 3 time (consecutive) MPG, also hold the record for most INT's in a career with 336 of them. The man threw 15 or more picks in a season, 14 times. He's got a trinket or two on his fingers. Mr. Brett Favre.
While I can't say DW is going to be like Favre, I can say that they both are confident in their own abilities and they play to win! Give me a QB that can and will attempt to thread a needle, over a timid play not to lose guy, anyday. He, D'S will throw some picks. Put he makes many more plays than he messes up. Part of that confidence he has, is also in knowing his receivers. He knew Mike Williams was a master at high pointing the ball on 50/50's. He Jordan Legget could and would extend laterally. N0w, he knows Nuk, is a high point master and knows what the strengths of his other Wr's are. Deshaun is such a student of the game. He studies films. He knows if a DB will bite. He knows if they are suseptable to a double move. What do they do going out of their back pedal. Does the DB have a good vertical, how tall are they, does he track the ball well, etc. So dont think for a second that every pass that doesn't hit a receiver on the numbers, was an inaccurate throw.
He's going to throw some picks. It's part of the game. But you have to let Deshaun be Deshaun. When Deshaun is being Deshaun, there is no limit as what he is capable of.
