[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 851584"] There are cases where play clock awareness is an issue but there's more to it than that. Why would a QB run it down to zero in the first place? Situationally, you may be burning clock. At other times defenses disguise and then move pre-snap. It you take the snap at zero, you've taken defensive pre-snap adjustment out of the equation--they are where they are at the snap. Now, if the QB doesn't like what he sees for the play that's called, and the defense isn't moving into something more favorable at 0:01, you've got a choice: take the 5 yard penalty or burn a down with a play not likely to work or burn a timeout. This is not to forgive every delay of game penalty. But if you're not in the huddle or in the play caller's head or in the QB's head, you cannot conclude that snapping the ball is preferable to the delay of game in every instance. There is a rhyme and reason to some of these penalties. Breaking the huddle with 10 seconds on the play clock is probably not one of them. On the other hand, with eyes on the defense and clock ticking in the QBs head, a late snap can happen. I find it strange that anybody would think one of the great football minds standing behind center would be questioned as malfunctioning mentally on a regular basis. If you want perfection, die and go to heaven, if you believe in that kind of thing. If you want a robo QB, root for the Rams. Thank your lucky stars you're not watching the Bills every week. I was thinking a few ago that this time next year they'll be talking about Josh Allen as mentally broken and beyond fixing. Broken is the wrong word since it's something that wasn't right in the first place. But after yesterday, it is a word being tossed around and I can't blame them. [/QUOTE]
