I will say two things for Paxton:

1) I don't ever recall seeing us have a receiving corp that dropped as many passes that were in catch-able locations as ours did last year.

2) I don't remember what home game it was, but Paxton threw a 50+ yard pass on a frozen rope that probably didn't get higher than 12-15 feet off the ground and hit a guy in stride down the middle of the seam. I can't remember the last QB we had that could throw a dart that far, that hard..... Steve Matthews?

Did the guy make some boneheaded decisions? Sure. Might we have won a game or two more with Karam? Maybe. But I do think Fuente made the right call to let Paxton pay the "dumb dumb" dues last year in exchange for more potential and experience this year.

A lot to learn. With a long arm it's tough.

I have been going to my grandson's off season QB camp every Saturday, you would not believe what those guys work on. Stuff you can't do during the season. All the years I played football I never saw any such instruction.

he was awesome in Weird Science
