Last 10 seasons, PFF QB ratings for UConn

[UConnJim]

I went back and looked at the past 10 years of PFF ratings for UConn QBs. I know some people don't like PFF ratings, but they use consistent standards and seem to be unbiased. Below I have listed their overall offensive rating and their passer rating. The best passing QB based on PFF ratings? Roberson.

2023: Roberson. Overall 76.4, Passing 77.6
2022: Turner. Overall 47.8, Passing 46.0
2021: Krajewski. Overall 55.0, Passing 48.6
2021: Tyler P. Overall 43.3, Passing 36.0
2019: Krajewski. 53.7, Passing 55.7
2019: Beaudry. 50.7, Passing 50.1
2018: Pindell. Overall. 74.4, Passing 61.2
2017: Shirreffs. Overall 68.8 Passing 70.0
2016: Shirreffs. 68.8, Passing 62.5
2015: Shirreffs. 57.0, Passing 57.5
2014: Whitmer. Overall 57.1, Passing 59.7

Roberson is not perfect, but he is starting to look to be a better passer than any UConn QB from the past 10 years. I know this will be an unpopular statement, but it looks like Charlton has more ability than most of us think he does, especially after the poor decision quick snap QB sneak.

All that said, we can get better at QB as Roberson has so little experience over the past 5 years playing QB. Thus, I think his decision making, execution, and touch on short passes will get better with more game experience. He has talent and it's why he was rated the #15 dual threat QB and Penn St., Ohio State, BC, Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, Rutgers, Syracuse, Virginia Tech, and Wake Forest offered him out of high school.

They must not deduct too many points for swing passes thrown 7 feet over the running backs head.

Interesting numbers overall, I'd probably go Pindell (for the running element), Sheriff's and then anyone else you're pretty much SOL.

If I knew the Roberson who played Saturday was a baseline performance level, I'd take it. Not thrilled but he was better.

The two misses to Rosa on screens were bad throws and the one at the end of the first half was the difference between a 13-0 or 17-0 lead and the real result of 17-7.

He was more aggressive running but the penalty for the pass beyond the line of scrimmage in the red zone was inexcusable. You always take positive yardage when you get close. He had five yards of space to run and get out of bounds.

And then the failure to run when he tried to squeeze in the pass downfield was brutal. Minimum of 15 yards of running room.

What I despise about dual threat QB's is when they have a mindset of seemingly wanting to prove they can win with their arm rather than their feet.

Extreme difference was Mahomes last night on the final drive. He won the game with his feet.

It also appears the preseason depth chart and playing time for WR's, TE's and RB's is working itself out with in game film. This is a total failure on the coaching staff assessing talent and performance during off-season amd during camp compared to what has happened on the field.

His passing has steadily improved, but I wouldn’t call him a dual threat based on what I saw from his reluctance to run it last Saturday.

I often wonder what a coach like Jim Mora could have done with Tim Boyle, Krajewski, or Mike Nebrich.

Are all the other years based on the same number of games?
Will Roberson's be the same after a full season?
No sure if this means anything until the end of the season

I agree this is a possibility. A mistake may have been made at QB, time will tell. Did anyone not like the way Cam played? Who made the push for Stafford on offense? I would be curious as to who made the offensive personnel decisions before game 1, and what the current process is.

Seems to me the offensive coordinator would have made those decisions, and probably lobbied for them if other coaches disagreed. If we had had Roberson and Cam in the backfield from day one, we would not be 0-5 right now.

Well so you’re saying there’s a chance. Lol

PFF is stupid.

How does it account for the gimme 7 yard passes that he can’t hit?

How does it account for the time he snapped the ball into Joly?

How does it account for the pass he threw beyond the line of scrimmage when he should have been trying to run into the end zone.

How does it account for the incomplete pass he threw when he could have run for a 1st down EASILY.

We’re 0-5. Stop looking at PFF. It’s stupid.
