We were also in trailers.
I love this!!!!…great post!!!!
Did you say that when Danny O was here and struggled?
What does he have to improve that he doesn't do well now? Are those deficiencies correctable? Discuss.
Stats weigh heavily in favor of Zion including the most important one 6-0.
Practically speaking, it just doesn’t matter. We will be looking hard at quarterback talent in the portal, Zion and Roberson, and everyone else in the QB room will get their chances to compete and the coaches will pick the guy who they think gives us the best chance to win. But a lot of what we talk about on the Boneyard is entirely meaningless anyway.
I’d love for him to throw more accurately. That’s not an easy thing to be better at, but many improve. Far more importantly, better decision making all around. Both on when to keep the ball on the read option, but much more not locking on to a primary receiver but getting through his progressions.
It felt like slow decision making also. It felt like at times he was delivering the ball late.
Agree completely. Getting through progressions more quickly and efficiently are big areas of needed improvement. I would think that's teachable. As for passing accuracy, that's either the product of repetitive practice or it may not improve. Ball placement on deep passes is a need.
Everyone’s entitled to their opinion and you may be right and me wrong but here’s the thing. We were close to dead last in the NCAA in passing offense. Do you believe that we’d be close to dead last in passing offense if Jim Mora believed that we had a QB who was very accurate, made good decisions and was good at escaping the rush? Because that would be saying something pretty bad about our coaching staff.
Here’s the thing. We were damn lucky we had this kid this year. We had an offense that had to play ball control and it worked for us. Yes he’s not Lamar Jackson but I’m not going to give up on him. Kid is a winner.
When he does run it is positive from what I remember. I’d like to see it more often.
His long ball was often underthrown and the receiver had to come back to the ball. That’s more so arm strength and not sure that can be improved.
But that’s a false choice. I haven’t given up on him, and we were damn lucky we had him because we would have been far worse without him. Neither of those statements change the fact that our passing game was simply not good enough.
I think part of it, is to this point, he hasn't demonstrated that he routinely needs to be accounted for as a running threat. You can see that in the way that defenses crash on the RB for zone read plays.
