Love plays poorly and it's everyone else's fault. Wonderful analysis.
Anyone can take 5 minutes to look up the film of Love's interceptions. Hint: they're his fault. That doesn't mean he'll suck in the NFL but it's absurd to sit here and absolve him entirely of his poor play.
I took the Liberty of doing just that. I counted at least 4 that were not his fault or at least a minority of blame of about the 15-16 I watched.
1 was 3rd n 10 snd Love was being harassed similar to Mahommes in the SB. He threw it 15 yards behind the LOS and it turned out to be equivalent of a 40 yard net punt zero return. They would’ve punted anyway on 4th n 10 so he gave his guy a shot.
I saw another INT where his own TE slipped n fell as he threw the ball and it got picked off.
I saw a 3rd where his WR caught the ball and spun n fumbled it into the air spinning around. the ball literally went through his both palms. ... that was really a bear catch n fumble and 100% WR fault.
Another he had Edge all over him leaping 10 feet in the air and his target was over that direction He didn’t get enough because of steep trajectory, he could’ve taken the grounding call? Or a sack? Maybe?
True Story I watched about 15 of them and 4 weren’t really what I’d consider his fault or they were calculated risks or more the fault of protections or routes. The other 12 looked mainly like improper timing (the biggest % were a combination of his fault and WR fault hard to tell; maybe 6 of them). About 5 were clearly on him. He could’ve thrown the ball away.
I noticed often his Receivers had very poor separation on the bulk of INT. I also had the WR outplayed in 3-4 cases. IMO. That sounds like poor play design and subpar talent around him as much as poor throws.
The QB always takes the blame. I’m confident had 9 players not been switched out in 2019? His floor was 25-15 ratio and his ceiling 30-10
