    The kid doesn't understand that the bill on a ball cap is to improve vision by blocking out the glare from above. So his reversed ball cap just keeps his eyes stressed on the sideline and when he is in the game he is impaired visually. Well, that is mostly a joke but peripheral vision has to be a problem as demonstrated by some of his cross field passes thrown in college as though he couldn't see a defensive man coming to cut off his receiver.

    But regardless of his arm strength -- if Luke doesn't learn to step up in the pocket and throw with some authority, he will never succeed in the NFL. This was the first time I've personally seen him play for the Browns, and it appeared to me that Luke hasn't changed one bit from his time at Tech. A lot of his throws were off his back foot (no mustard on the ball), he still locks onto one receiver (#86 in the case of last night's game), tries to force passes to covered receivers, and he still bails out of the pocket way too soon.

    He really needs a good QB coach to teach him how to be a pocket passer -- take his 3, 5 or 7-step drop while making his read, make a decision, step up and throw with authority. Making his reads/going through his progression and his decision-making should improve with time and repetition. His footwork and throwing, however, should not be lagging like they are. Those are things he should have learned his first year at Tech (if he didn't already know them from high school). Hopefully he gets some good coaching in Cleveland and has a good career. I wish him luck. (And I agree... the baseball cap has got to go!)
    When are ya'll ever going to learn that whether he has a good QB coach or not Luke is just not going to get it. Period. He possesses all the physical skills you'd want in a QB but as far as the mental part, well.... that's another story.

    Seems like folks were saying that about another TECH QB who wore #12.

    I think baseball caps actually sometimes look better going backwards. It isn't like a cap really does all THAT much to shield your eyes forwards. It still serves plenty of purpose going the other way.
    Covers your messed up hair, keeps it out of your face, looks cool (that one is subjective), keeps your head just as warm, keeps the sun off the back of your neck, shows your support for whatever is on your cap, gives us something meaningless to argue about on message boards, and covers your bald spot (if you have one).
