Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 4433306, member: 974"] Zion doesn't see the field well enough. That is why Charlton -correctly- doesn't allow him to throw the ball to the middle of the field. It's also why he is a one read QB, if his primary receiver isn't open, he doesn't seem to be able to find his second read. His accuracy is so-so. He rarely throws receivers open by leading them to the empty spot. That doesn't mean he cannot improve. But improve he must. These are issues that must be solved for him to become a competent division one QB. If he is unable to address these deficits, the UConn offense will be stalled as it is right now. Zion has done a decent job as a game manager of a very poor passing game. He cut way down on his turnovers. He has made his legs a useful offensive weapon. Over the year he has gotten better. The coaches praise his intelligence and maturity. But that is not enough to make him the starting QB of a good offense. Good QBs don't protect the ball, they threaten the secondary by reading the defense, anticipating receivers and fitting the ball in tight windows. He's a long long way from there. IMHO, QB is the #1 offensive issue that must be addressed in the off season. It all starts there. [/QUOTE]
