WEAKNESSES Scouts concerned he could be product of Baylor's one-read system. Has tendency to spray the ball against zone coverage on intermediate routes. Can extend plays but won't make many plays downfield once he extends. Mistakes happen when forced to come off of first read. Struggles when defenders are near his feet. Yards per attempt declined in 2014 and screens were a much higher percentage of his passes. Struggles to pull himself from the doldrums when having a poor game. Nose of the ball dives when he doesn't drive throws with his lower body. Must learn to read defenses and get through his progressions when he joins the NFL.
Petty looks overmatched today. No reason to keep him in the game. Upside is, we're gonna lose and not mess up our draft position.
Booing is unlikely to help him at this point, not actually sure what is going to help him at this point either tbh, inside his confidence has just shattered as he realises this is the end of his dream, poor fucker it is never nice to have it end like this.
this is hard to watch - i know the best thing is for us to lose to get a better draft spot but at the same time you want to see something from the team - so envious of my mate that is a Niners fan - his team might have a terrible record but at least they have hope for the future now
Which is dead on philosophy wise, but in reality if this is what Petty was doing over the summer and in practice, there is no way Bowles, or any HC, could legitimately play him over McCown. He would completely lose the locker room if Petty started and McCown sat and he performed like this. These guys aren't stupid, they see what we're seeing and would revolt. Bottom line, Petty isn't a starting calibre QB in this league, but honestly, he's not even performing as a capable backup. Which means, can you imagine how bad Hack must be?
Legler82 scout report card Weaknesses - Has a tendency to repeat himself for hours on end, can't seem to let things go, doesn't understand when people have got his point, continues to express his point for the full three hours in a match day thread. Strengths - Strong fingers
Well, if the fans turn on Petty and start unloading on him, I don't see how Bowles doesn't put Hack in.
