The "give Austin Davis some love" thread

[CodeMonkey]

He wasn't completely dialed in and kept sailing balls long but he damn near pulled of an Elway like come back. I love this guy. The things that are wrong with him are fixable and the things that are right can't be taught.

this game was not lost because of Austin Pettis. We almost had a miraculous comeback because of him!!

GO RAMS!!!!

You mean Davis? Pettis certainly didn't help there at the end.

 

[HometownBoy]

I told you guys, me and stranger told you guys, all he needed was a chance.

Im with Dieter the Brock...my fav player right now is AD

Both those balls hit Pettis in the hands, the first one was a terrible drop, but the last one got ripped out. So much for a "clutch" receiver.

One game doesn't change my opinion on Pettis. He has a role on this team, and while he couldn't come up with a catch on either pass(one of which would have been amazing if he did), it still doesn't erase all of the good he has done as a Ram.

 

[Adrian]

Yeah those were good throws, but the last one to Quick was rushed.

He almost got sacked? He had to get rid of it

 

[209RamsFan]

You..'re Hometown boy....i was one of those doubters.....feel like an Ass now....def had my delicious crow

 

[TheBunk]

Pettis had two shots to keep the drive going.
You can't put that on Davis.

I'm talking more specifically about the last play. That's the second time he's rushed a throw to Quick in that circumstance.

 

[RamzFanz]

He has shown potential. He sucked the first half when he overthrew everyone every other pass. The sacks and pressure were unforgivable from the o line.

He redeemed himself in the second half. I'm still thinking Hill wins that game though. I think hill hits all those 1st half passes. Hill also probably picks up the first down on the slide. That's what experience brings.

I'm completely on the Austin Davis train. This kid has got IT, period.

The thing that I keep noticing with Davis is that when he has time to get his feet set and his mechanics correct, he's very good. There's the occasional time where he has time but still doesn't set his feet but, to me, that's totally fixable. He has very good pocket awareness and seems to make a lot of good reads. I'm really starting to think he has a future. The few issues I see are not unfixable.

What Davis has over Hill is the ability to roll out of the pocket. Hill doesn't has have that. Hill would have taken more hits and sacks than Davis, IMO.

Agreed, three short weeks ago most of us were yelling they will never question Pettis again. Goes to show you how the average fan has short term memory. Pettis will redeem himself.

It's hard not to rush when the D is falling in on you, but I know what you're saying.

I can already see people are exaggerating the pressure on the play. It was coming, but not there yet. He had at least another second to survey.

 

[Rambition]

he's thrown some passes too high, and there was one early that was caught between like 4 eagles that shouldn't have been thrown, but on the whole he played better than anyone had a right to expect. thumbs up.

 

[LesBaker]

Oh, I think he made the throws to Austin Pettis. It's not his fault they were dropped.

The second one goes to the defender, good play.

Yeah, I mean it wasn't a clean pocket or anything, but I just wish he held it a second longer to see Cook get open.

That last play was most likely a communication error. They even talked about it on the broadcast. Easily fixed and completely understandable for a QB in his 3rd game.

 

[TheDYVKX]

Davis was phenomenal. He's the real deal, and honestly I would extend him right now. I think he could be our franchise QB. That game was not on him, he almost made the comeback.

[Dodgersrf]

Nah, I'm going to detract from him just a little bit. The last two weeks he gets us back into the games, but can't make "the" throw we need to complete the comeback. It's frustrating.

How about the defense doesn't give up 70 points the past two games.
THAT ' S FRUSTRATING.

Don't forget we have to leave room for @Mojo Ram to get on too..........

[Athos]

He got brutalized in the 1st half plus. A handful of plays where no one picked up the blitz from the right edge which led to him getting creamed twice for sacks.

Long was bad as well. But Davis showed something fighting back to finish with what SHOULD HAVE BEEN a 400 yard day with 3 or more TDs if Pettis doesn't straight up drop 2 passes.

We seem to have ourselves a QB. But the team just starts way too slow. Over and over again. That's on Fisher. And another sackless game is worrisome.
