Mick's offense is predicated upon the QBs making quick reads, getting rid of the ball quickly, and throwing his receivers open. Since TJ went down, no QB had been able to perform those tasks. Marty can. The NU QB has to throw the pass before his receivers are open and fit it into tight spaces where only our guy can catch it. Semien and Thorson excelled at putting the ball in tight spaces and throwing passes before their targets were open. This takes great timing between QB and receiver, but also confidence. Our earlier QBs this year seemed to lack the confidence to let the ball go before their targets were open or to fit it into small windows. The result was sacks and generally ugly play. Marty has the confidence and ability to run this offense. He also is, quite obviously, a team leader. The future looks so much better than it did at 10:00 last Saturday morning.
