Not sure the difference in "coached" and "learned", but I absolutely think you can tell a QB where to throw the ball expecting where the WR is going to be given a certain coverage. That's high school level shit...much less DI SEC ball...
I've coached kids who would let it fly in an instant. And I've coached them that would wait for the guy to be standing wide open and waving arms. Its something that is in them. But I do know that as a coach, you have to encourage the aggressiveness. You have to foster that attitude of getting it out early and often.
With Gus, we got the attitude of strangle that ball so the other guy cannot get it. But that fosters a tentative attitude.
Will Gus ever have a true gunslinger? Probably not. But what he's doing to our throwing QBs is not good. Its time to let CCL crank up that pass first game and let that open up the running lanes.
