Half of Frerotte's throws that he seemed confident in and was not rushed in seemed to go to double coverage or to the middle of nowhere. You just couldn't have confidence that he knew what he was doing or that the ball had a chance of completion.

I agree with your assessment of his throws into coverage. The final TD pass was so bad it was good. Nobody plans two intersecting crossing routes in the end zone-but it sure is a good way to confuse the defenders. The fact that Berrian caught it was a miracle. But survivng the hits he took is why I called him "indestructible." He got his bell rung and came back two plays later to lead the winning drive. I think that's why he hangs around the NFL.
