I fully understand what you're saying, but I just don't like the way his footwork looks. If he can't properly push off and land on throws, we could be seeing a lot of incomplete passes that shouldn't have been, and possibly some costly INTs.
I don't think anything in public has been done at full speed for them, him in particular, it really depends on what has been going on behind doors and how he's been pushing it. Not going to make a prediction because I was wrong before, but the bottom line remains the same - at some point he is going to play with this knee injury, he will not be 100%, his game will be imperfect and incomplete. Whether it's this week, next week, or the week after. What do you gain by waiting, and at what point does it become a matter of diminishing returns for every extra week you wait?
He's throwing his passes off the plant leg, and not getting the landing foot down like he normally does in the pocket. More than likely because it reduces the pain from weight transfer to the landing leg. That's not a normal rhythm for a QB, who'd step up on the throw.
i did, and i'm not even an expert on footwork. the foot with the injured knee did not look right to me. that was during the warm-ups inside their practice facility. could be faking it to make the vikings think he isn't going to play. but i'll stick with my prediction that willis starts and the packers lose.
alexander and valentine are two major losses when going up against a team with a qb that has had a hot hand for three weeks in a row.
