Actually he did have a couple fast recievers as do most teams. The problem was that the fastest one dropped a bunch of balls that hit him between the numbers and then he would make some outraegous one handed behind the back catch. His best reciever was short, quick and ran tight routes. His throwing lane opened and closed quick. The ball had to be there and it usually was. Eckert would have had more yards but the coach shut the passing game down as soon as TJC got any kind of lead. FYI eckert threw the ball 73 yards in the air in the summer between his junior and senior year in high school. Believe me, he has a deep ball.Originally posted by PonyTales:
I'm eager to see how many of those yards he racked up at Tyler JC were the result of his receivers being fast, and how many were the result of him having a big arm. Which leads to: who is the last real deep-threat QB to play for the Ponies?
