My point isn’t even necessarily that he yelled at him, it’s the play he’s yelling at him over. Whatever Hopkins did, if anything at all, Levis’ throw was worse. Way worse.
I’m sure Peyton did chide guys if they ran the wrong route or stretch out trying to make too much happen and put the ball on the floor, or some kind of mistake.
But getting hot over not catching a bad throw?
I can’t recall seeing any QB go after a WR over an uncatchable ball on a bad throw.
Hopkins was in position to make a catch. He was there on the sidelines, he did his part to keep his feet inbounds, he even had position on the defender.
And then the ball fell harmlessly to the ground a Yao Ming away from him. That’s on Levis.
