Except that on quick throws it's what you're supposed to do. In those cases the QB can't be criticized for locking on. So I agree that you can tell when a QB is locking on. It's just that fans too often call it "locking on" (as a criticism), when the QB is executing the play as it's designed.
When can we start coming up with our new lies for Week 2? Like: - Starks may not play hard because he is mad - Tannehill will feel pressure to throw to Wallace even when it's the wrong decision, to please Wallace - The staff thinks Olivier Vernon is a better passrusher than Dion Jordan, and plans to limit Dion's snaps due to lack of ability, not lack of experience or to protect his healing shoulder - The new CEO will not have any hare-brained promotional ideas - We can't run the ball because Mike Sherman doesn't believe in offensive balance Etc.
ALL YOUR PRESUMED LIES TURNED OUT TO BE PRESUMED TRUTHS !!! Oh Prophet, where shalleth we goeth from here!
