Caleb’s signature trick is the sack-escape-to-sideline-missile

42 comments

1. He said indeed his idol growing up was Aaron Rodgers. Also a specialist at that.
   Let’s hope we have something close to similar.

2. The way he runs and just fires the ball without patting it is incredible, definitely his “signature” unique play.

3. man he throws the fuck out of that ball

4. Gold!!!

5. If Kmet hangs on, it’s a Top-10 throw of the year. That was nasty.

6. His ability to escape from sacks is incredible. He makes d lineman look so silly at times

7. I do hate to love that shit

   I want a jumpman logo of that throw.

8. I firmly believe if Cole was normal Cole for this game he would’ve hauled that in.

9. What on earth are these announcers talking about? There’s no room on the sideline? There was plenty of room. Tough catch but Kmet has to make that play..

10. Look out Cole! It’s a missle!

11. God this is so Aaron Rodgers coded i hate it but love it lol

12. A superstar tightend catches that. He’s simply good.

13. Kmet was having a rough game yesterday. This was definitely not a perfect throw but he definitely looked like he should have had that one. And the other 2 he missed.

    I would say this is one of the better throws he needed to try and make and was as close and accurate as he could get with this type of move and player placement!

14. It would have been a good catch, but Cole needs to catch that.

15. Unfortunately I think defenses have this scouted now. Guys are staying home and not losing their guy in coverage.

    Caleb will need to think of a good counter punch now.

16. Kmet ruining an absolutely incredible play from Caleb

17. Learned from Jay: https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/11n2fqq/highlight_jay_cutler_throws_a_dot_right_into_the/

18. That Kemet couldn’t hang on too.
    Cole did not have a good game. I think he will bounce back.

19. The way he eludes the first guy AND makes Crosby miss is insane

20. shame Kmet can’t catch

21. O e of two should have been caught passes by kmet…

22. How many NFL QBs can escape like that AND throw like that?

23. I remember last year I think it was Keenan Allen that had a quote in training camp basically saying “Weirdly, he’s *more* accurate when he’s moving”. It’s a crazy phenomenon, he’s got an absolute rocket on his shoulder and it’s only improved by running

24. ngl kmet is starting to piss me off. loveland would have held onto that

25. It be great if kmet would’ve came to the ball

26. He’s done this so much that they really need to drill for it in practice because more often than not no one gets open.

27. Cole kmet looked concussed the whole second half of the game.

28. I watched a video where somebody wasn’t talking about quarterback styles, and emulating them… When he got to Caleb, it was just him running around for 20 seconds before throwing it… I really hate how accurate it is

29. Unfortunately for every one of these there’s two or three (even in this game) where he does the same thing, evades the sack and scrambles sideways and then instead of running for an easy 5-10 yards throws an off balance throw towards a sideline receiver which misses.

    He should take the yards more often. This was second down though and he had no choices.

30. I agree it should be a catch. Still a hard catch nonetheless. My question is who on the team do we think would catch that, who do we think would drop it?

31. feels good to win

    had we not blocked that FG guarantee someone woulda posted this sequence as a criticism on accuracy or “hero-ball” or whatever

32. Trapilo looks good in this rep, too. Crosby gets pressure because Caleb is forced to vacate the pocket due to Benedet getting worked.

33. Can’t believe it’s a bye week.

34. I was FLOORED by this play. Sure, he didn’t get the completion, but this was perfect in every other way from him.

35. Watching Fields play on monday night football and he can do the esxape but his eyes never get downfield like caleb

36. Tough to catch a spicy meatball like that falling to your weak side…but Kmet still has to get those. That’s the life of the TE – making the tough bailout catches.

37. And drop. All of Caleb’s insane throws are fucking drops by the puds

38. So upset Kmet dropped this. He has got to come up with that 

39. Watching MNF and seeing Browning escape the pocket only to throw it out of bounds again and again reminds me not to take those throws for granted. Literally making something out of nothing.

    I know we’re only 2-2, but it’s nice to watch other teams and come away appreciating aspects of what the Bears do instead of constantly feeling like “why can’t we do stuff like that?”

40. Man I love Kmet but you gotta imagine Loveland makes that play in the future

41. this was the most impressive throw from the game

42. People saying it’s a tough catch lol he has a 1st round draft pick in his position just waiting for his turn.

    If that doesn’t motivate him to make plays then nothing will.
