Let's be honest, the large majority of Russell's throws are one read throws. Especially this year with all the short throws to Harvin.
BUT, not all Russell's fault, because that's what Pete and Bevell have implemented into our offensive game plans.......plays that suit Russell's style, which is more like a college offense (lots of play action, layered deception from the same look, etc).
Rarely does Russell sit in the pocket for 3-5 seconds and go through 3 or 4 progressions. If he does, then it's planned roll out, then he hits a 2nd or 3rd progression receiver.
The question is, why do we care? If another team's fans are too stupid to understand that there are many different ways to win a football game, and that you don't have to have a prototypical 3-5 step dropback QB that goes through progressions? Like it diminishes Russell's skill or legitimacy as a QB?
