It's how you play in the games

posted by Nobrainer

As you would expect, the Gnome without cable here didn't get to see yesterday's Senior Bowl. I wasn't even particularly interested because of some news I heard suggesting Charlie Whitehurst wasn't looking too good. So imagine my surprise at seeing this morning's headline: "Clemson QB finds his rhythm in triumph - Whitehurst, special teams lead North to lackluster 31-14 Senior Bowl win"
Charlie Whitehurst in the Senior Bowl Ugly uniforms, eh? I like the helmet, though.
Charlie Whitehurst and Michael Robinson flashed different skills for the NFL scouts. . . While most of the quarterbacks struggled at times during the game, Whitehurst and Robinson managed to shine one way or another. . . Whitehurst, the North’s offensive MVP, directed a seamless drive after Cutler was ineffective on the first two series. The Clemson quarterback was perfect on five attempts for 66 yards, lofting a 15-yard scoring pass to Colorado tight end Joe Klopfenstein and finishing 7-of-9 for 90 yards. “We were able to kind of methodically take it down the field and answer their first touchdown,” Whitehurst said. “It got us back in the game and we were able to roll after that.”
Charlie must have thought he was playing the Coots.

Charlie looked good in most of his attempts. He needs to work on the fade. teh pass to the Colorado TE was agreat catch ontaht guys behalf. An NFL level DB would have probably picked it, or at least broken up the pass as it was thrown short and the DBneverr turned his head. The other passes were good though as Charlie was throwingtehball all over the field with good accuracy and timing, often times not looking in the direction of the receiver he was throwing to until the last moment. According to the article I read earlier in the week, this is one of the biggest keys to being able to make it behind center at the next level when the athletisism (sp?) is even across the board.
