Breaking Dylan Raiola Heisman Watch

[Kazman5k]

I'm a little high and watched all 1:49 of that. I have 3 thoughts

1) I was entertained
2) I had no idea Cam Newton did such a good Chris Rock impression
3) I never want to hear Cam Newton talk again

I’m willing to bet cam was much higher than you are

RIP Josh Hoover's odds.

Our boy DR15 is currently at +4000.

I bet Mendoza and Moore both get removed from top 3 in Heisman odds after today.

 

[HuskerHusaria]

He certainly belongs on the watch, but we'll see how he does through the schedule.

Dylan is a better QB than Sayin and Stockton are. Might be better than some of the others on that list too.

 

[Flabio]

He’s had some WR drops that have hurt his completions which weren’t hard catches. Is this bc of the loss to Michigan and/or sacks he gave up?

 

[Kaladin]

Not sure what’s going on here

What’s going on is we back. Try to keep up.

What it means is #15 is going to win one for the other #15 that deserved it over Eddie George.

He will then be like Ron Powlus and win consecutive Heisman's.

I knew he was a touch off, but….yeah…..well….

Feels like a very watered down heisman field. Not sure anyone on that list is special.

Take that back. Smith definitely is. The QBs are another story.

Well I was half right. Moore absolutely played well enough.

Wrong was the word you were looking for, fwiw

Raiola needs to get that ball out faster!

Total QBR: 77.2 | Pass Yds: 1,137 | Rush Yds: 29 | Total TDs: 11

Raiola's 76% completion rate ranks fourth nationally, and his 11-to-1 TD-to-INT ratio is pretty sexy, but he somehow takes forever to throw (2.89 seconds on average, 108th) extremely short passes (6.2 air yards per attempt, 123rd) and takes a lot of sacks in the process (28.6% sacks to pressures, 119th). Still, the Cornhuskers rank 16th in points per drive and ninth in success rate so he's doing something right.

 

[Baron Winnebago]

Feels like a combination of playing teams who couldn't get pressure consistently on him if they sent 8 and a team that could have rushed 1 and gotten home.

Good stats, thanks for sharing.

I could see 2.89 seconds to throw being indicative of several things, some good some bad. Could mean…

A good pass blocking OL
A QB who goes through progressions
First read WR not getting open
Slow developing plays
QB who holds the ball too long.

I'm extremely skeptical that 2.89 seconds would rank 108th.

"The average time for an NFL quarterback to throw the ball varies, but is generally under 3 seconds, with many sources citing figures like 2.78 seconds for a league-wide average and a threshold of 2.5 seconds to define a "quick pass". "
