CQ means competitive intelligence: read the situation, choose an effective response, and adjust as conditions change.
What did they see?
Choosing the answer after the defense changes
Review Stafford's pre-snap cues and post-snap choice against rotating coverage, with alternative targets visible.
Include pressured incompletions and interceptions; grade the available decision separately from the catch result.
