The play was a pass play.
Worst case INT.
Incomplete pass. Not as bad but the clock stopped.
How about not give him the option to throw in that situation???????
This is a situation where he thought he could be cute. If Watson or a veteran QB was in there, I would give him a bit of a break. But in that situation with the personnel and his history of trying to outsmart the other team with very little success, I think he is ruining himself out of town.
We were well within FG range and had a down we could sacrifice. Defense was keying on stopping the run as the Browns had the FG and were looking to burn the clock down as much as possible. The FG put us up by 2, but a TD would've forced the 9ers to have to score a TD on their final drive. There is absolutely nothing wrong with trying to catch the D by surprise for a TD when a sack or no-gain doesn't hurt you (doesn't knock you out of FG range). The problem was that Walker decided to try to make a hero throw. The TV talking heads even said as much... he should've taken a quick look for an easy throw and if he saw nothing then made sure he ended up on the ground with the ball.
The probability (by far) is that Walker made a bad decision to throw even though that wasn't what was asked.
