I need some stats to back this up....

but I was just thinking forgive me for my ignorance...

last year Eric Decker was on the right side of Tim Tebow and Demaryius benefited being on the other side...Tebows left handed...

Now it's reversed....Does that matter?

what do you guys know about this sort of thing in 2 wr formations...won't manning automatically see Decker first?

Like a left handed picture staring down first base runners, easier to pick off?

Will wr1's change sides of the field based on their qbs dominate arm?

Or with Thomas still play on the left side this year?

Just a thought...

Like to hear yours...but I am certain this may or may not come into play with other wr combos around the league who perhaps changed qb dominate throwing hands between seasons?

Did rice change sides from Montana to young?

No.

Rule of thumb is that righties throw right better and lefties throw left better. In traditional offenses, WRs don't have a "left" and "right" designation. The flanker (Z) lines up outside the TE and the split end (X) lines up on the weak side. So, usually the most important thing is spot of the ball. Granted, this isn't as pronounced in the NFL with the narrow hashes. As far as Rice is concerned, he was almost exclusively used as flanker. IIRC, SF was biased towards strong-side right, so he probably was right more than left, even with Young, but he played both sides a lot.

That said, the Colts had Harrison strictly on the right and Wayne on the left, so we'll see if this style continues with the Broncos. But I don't think Manning has shown many problems throwing in either direction over the years.

Thanks toki for the insight...
