Not picking on JPW here, but if Croyle was still the QB right now, Maze would already have 3 touchdown catches. JP doesn't have the arm strength Croyle had which is why Maze isn't more utilized. Maze has incredible break away speed and HAS gotten behind the defense at least 3 times this season.
One was during the Clemson game in which he had to make a leaping catch that was called back. One was during the UGA game in which the UGA defender was called for PI, and one was against Kentucky last week. On all three passes Maze was behind the defense and was either overthrown(Clemson) or underthrown(UGA, Kentucky) and had to slow up for the ball.
Maybe I don't know the routes he runs, but it sure appears he'd be better off with a QB that can get him the ball. JPW can't.
Yet he can get deep balls to Julio from time to time?
Perhaps it has as much to do with the receiver being able to make adjustments on the ball as it does the QB. Not disagreeing really, just saying, Julio can adjust and catch nearly anything in the same zip code. Receivers like Maze have great speed and can get open, but require a quarterback to put it in their shirt pocket to make a catch.
