When will we see "IT" from Raiola?

[NorthWillRiseAgain]

I’d trust him over all of those QB’s.

 

[KidsSeeGhosts]

Lot of posters undervaluing 78% passing on 42 attempts. Very limited pool of guys we’ve had who could match that

We literally couldn’t deliver a screen pass on target for a solid 10 years and now people want to still bitch

 

[NorthWillRiseAgain]

Raiola is still going trust with his WR’s, and Dana didn’t really give him a chance to take the top of it. You may see some more of Raiola just timing up WR’s and getting comfortable the next couple weeks.

"Raiola is only completing short passes"

My brother in Christ, did you not see our quarterbacks for the past decade being unable to hit a swing pass to the RB with any consistency, & putting it on the shins of their checkdown receivers?

Adrian throwing it 300mph to a wr 3 foot away, or Taylor arm punting it 80 yards straight up on a 20 yard slant

Dylan has great potential and is already a great intermediate passer. It is the deeper throws and long balls which he is not adept at throwing from what we've seen thus far. It seemed like most of his deep throws last year would be floaters the WR would come back to, not bombs that hit them in stride.

For his running, he's not the most athletic guy but could pick his spots better on when to run and slide. I don't think it's as much of a liability as some make it out to be.

I'm happy he's our QB and think he can improve as he's just a SO.

Dylan and Tommy Armstrong need to have a baby. Then all would be ok.

I'd say 68.1% on 452 attempts is the more relevant stat, but yeah.

Which is… fantastic.

This isn’t directed to at you but I look back at last year and Dylan had no less than 3 plays last year that could have been Td’s that were ints because the DB literally took the ball from the WR.

Let’s take 2 of those and swing em. How does 15 td to 9 int as True frosh sound?

Pretty good. Now he’s 15-11 for his career. If he finishes this year at, let’s say, 25 and 7 he’d 38-18.

Dylan is doing just fine and we’re luck he’s here.

True, but they also weren't paid the dollars that he is making

 

[Quint]

True, but they also weren't paid the dollars that he is making

Which is totally irrelevant.

The rules changed.

 

[Steveweiser316]

He’s not that fast though. Hes just mobile enough to scramble for that first down when needed

Exactly - he’s John Elway/Pat Mahomes fast

 

[Flabio]

True, but they also weren't paid the dollars that he is making

So we as a fan base need to nit pick and bitch about him? I mean if this isn’t fake news that NU fans are complaining about DR then we do have some serious hard rs out there. This dude did us a favor coming to a completely cratered NU to try to help rebuild it.

Holgo has been preaching all off-season to take the easy pass and don't go for the home run. I agree that mentality may change a bit with a couple more 50-50 balls if these receivers continue to prove they can go up and get it one-on-one.

This was mostly my takeaway. Raiola made the "right" throws with the exception of the one he threw late that Cincinnati should have housed.

Complaints on the offensive side should mostly be:
1. Why did we not absolute punish the light boxes Cincinnati gave them all night?
2. Where was the YAC?

As far as it goes with Dylan, he did everything you could have wanted last Thursday and I'm pretty bullish

By the way, I agree with these opinions for sure. This thread wasn't about what he's doing WRONG, because there aren't really any negatives. He's doing just fine. It's more about how much MORE he might bring to the table in the future.

His skillset/pedigree/recruiting reputation would lead me to think he will outshine all the guys I listed in the OP by far. Obviously he hasn't reached that level yet, he's been fine and good for his age, but I'm looking forward to his next steps!

His OL and RB suck. That’s the problem. They are below what we would consider our peer programs by a lot. End

Have the expectations changed as well?
