More of a dive than a slide. I am not sure if that matters, but it should when the QB is clearly diving for the marker and not really "giving himself up".
I have to say, I respect the way he handled this. He didn't hold out, he didn't B word in the media (at least lately) and he trusted the team to get the deal done. Way more mature than I expected to be honest.
I specially hope to see Star step his game up. Not necessarily in the stat sheet, but I want to see him truly plug the middle and eat up 2 blockers to allow others make plays. I will be watching him closely.
Analytics can assume a fixed increase in ability due to coaching. But it can’t assume that there will be a sharper increase in ability based on Better coaching.
