The point is Berlin threw to the first reciever he saw, whether they were double covered, which he threw alot of balls into double coverage, he never checked off recievers and found the open man, he would lock onto one guy and throw it. If he didnt throw it he would get sacked. Dorsey atleast could see the field and find his man. Berlin may throw the ball harder of farther, but his head was usually up his ass.

Anyway, no matter how good/bad Brock does in the NFL, I will still be a fan of his because of what he went through at Da U.

I turned into a huge Berlin supporter because of what he dealt with in his two years here and the way that he improved himself significantly between his two years. His first year he was bad, however in both of his years as QB we've had some major problems on the field in terms of offensive line. I'm pretty sure both years we had at least 3 guys on the OL get injured so we've had such a mish-mash of OL due to injuries where you have guys playing out of position and seemingly having to learn a new position every week. in 2003 the WR's were flat out horrible aswell...each and every game there were at least 7 balls that were just plain dropped, which didn't help Brocks numbers or the team.

 

However, in terms of Brock's play what made me become a big supporter was how he improved his biggest weakness, which in my eyes was making bad decisions while under pressure. In 2003 when getting pressured he'd seem to try to do too much and still try to make a great pass which would normally get intercepted. In 2004 he would take a sack if necessary, and more impressively he would avoid sacks and then throw the ball away. I couldn't stand it in the Louisville game this year on a couple of plays when no WR's were open and he was getting huge pressure he threw the ball away to avoid sacks and/or bad throws and he was getting sh!t from the fans. Look at his numbers last year.. 2700 yards passing, 22 TD's 6 int's and an efficiency rating in the 130's I believe, those are great numbers, and as many have pointed out, the weakness of our team last year was our defense, and the lack of consistency on our OL since at some point of the season all but one of our starters were injured, they were never able to get unity on the line.

 

Does this mean I think he'll be a great or even good NFL QB, probably not...but who knows, maybe if he stayed in the shadows and kept improving and got the perfect situation in a perfect system, he could turn into one of those guys who comes out of nowhere to have a couple good seasons. Would I put money on it....no..lol.. but I will be glad to have had him here at the U
