If Lloyd high points it, it’s a big explosive at midfield

If Lloyd does a better job at securing the catch / defender doesn’t make a great play on the ball, it’s a big explosive at midfield.

Even with all that, it’s milliseconds from being simultaneous possession. Raiola could’ve thrown a bit better ball, but passes like that happen at all levels of football. You gotta make the catch.
 
Lloyd did not. But he actually had to slow down to get to it. Still probably should have been a catch or an incompletion. But the other kid made a play. If you put that play into a computer simulation it likely doesn’t play out that way around 95% of the time.
I wonder if Dylan put a little less distance on that and/or other deep balls because of situations in the first couple games where Lloyd & others weren't running their routes at full speed.

There was at least one deep ball to Lloyd in one of the first 2 games that was overthrown because Lloyd was jogging for a few steps because he didn't think it would come to him.

Part of me wonders if the receivers are still adjusting to having a QB that will throw into tight windows or even throw them open when they’re well covered. Hopefully the message is being delivered that everything needs to be at 100% because the ball could go to anyone in the progression on any play.
 
It’s OK to critique Dylan. Bad throw. Lloyd ain’t the guy you’re throwing 50/50 balls to and you’re asking too much of him to win 50/50 balls. It’s OK to admit he’s still pretty one dimensional receiver too.
I’m not disagreeing with you in saying it was slightly under thrown, but you are flat out wrong if you are 100% blaming DR… which you are by saying “plain and simple”.

You are also flat out wrong by calling that a 50/50 ball. Plain and simple.
