His accuracy in short to mid range passing is incredible. You can tell in the red zone on his ball placement.

Could be this fell off after injury but 60% between 10-19 isn't otherworldly by any means.

I was speaking to what I felt when I watched his every play from 2021. It caught my eye with his red zone passing in making some tight window throws.

No clue on this guy, but it is a quicker video than the every play.

I know. He was much better before the injury though. TCU game he wasn't good but had a lot of pressure. Of his 33 hits 7 were from TCU. Was hurried 11 times. So of his 27 drop backs he was under pressure 18 times.

Arkansas 3/4
Rice 3/3
Texas Tech 7/8
TCU 3/7
Before 16/22 72.7%

Oklahoma 5/9

Ok St 3/8
Baylor 9/14
IA St 1/6
Kansas 8/10
W. Virginia 2/5
K Sucks 3/5
After 26/48 54.2%

Yup...

So 10 TDs 6 INTs after (6 TDs vs Kansas)
14 TDs 3 ints before

You can also look at the competition. So, how much of it was thumb vs competition?

Another way to look at it is he threw 16 of his 24 TD passes in 3 games and was absolutely average/below average in the rest. He threw 2 in 2 games in 0 in 2 games. The rest were 1. I’m not counting the first two games where he had very limited attempts. A thumb injury may be why, but he also won’t be throwing to nearly the quality of receivers this year either.

One consistent is the last ten plus years is almost no one on the team meets the off-season hype. Fans are hyping a player who was pushed out to bring in someone to replace him who had two career handoffs. That’s how much Texas thought of him.

Yeah. I wouldn't expect him to be better than average given that he has chemistry with 1 receiver and a shit tier OL.

Yeah I have been pumping the breaks on the CT hype train. I think if we can get similar to AM's production with better ball security that would be a win.

If we catch lightning in a bottle great, but if we can get the above I think we will be fine in 2022.

Casey Thompson is a smart football player. He will check down or scramble for 5 yards before he throws a pick.

If Nebraska's defense plays as well as it should, and the special teams are actually competent, he will be a God Send for Nebraska football.

Chubba is basically a 6'4 version of Adrian Martinez. He makes everybody's jaw drop on 1 or 2 plays, and then on the 3rd play, Eteva Mauga-Clements is housing an 80 yard pick 6.

Casey's biggest limitation is consistency in the Vertical route. But he's really good inside 25 yards.

I didn’t realize Chubba was that big. Hopefully Whip can get him consistent

Jesus Chryst.

He led a Power 5 conference in touchdown passes. He's definitely better than average.

Secondly, Thompson has started 10 games and played extensive minutes in 12 career football games. Only one of those 12 games and starts was played against a non Power 5 opponent.

If you go all the way back to his mop up time in 2019, he has 27 TD passes and 8 Interceptions vs. Power 5 competition only.

Adrian Martinez has 39 TD passes and 29 INTs vs Power 5 competition only.

It's total nonsense to even suggest they are close. 2AM was not a good QB

Neat. I've been burned enough on preseason hype that I'm not believing it until l see it in Lincoln

Great. Has CT played behind a center that may not start on any other team in the B1G? I am not denying he isn't a upgrade over AM, but I am not ready at all to say at all that in 2022 the offense is going to be a lot better b/c of CT. I have heard this every year for the last 5 years.

Are we discussing the QB or the center?

 

[DrinkItIn]

Agreed. And I agree CT on paper should be an upgrade. I just hope the NU line lets CT be an upgrade over AM.

From what I've heard, Thompson is perfect for this offensive line because he's going to protect the football when the line shits the bed.

Posted this the other day kn insider. CT isnt terribly far from Martinez on turnovers..

Martinez was hit or sacked 33 times vs CT 36. 2AM had 78 carries to CT's 20. 2AM 331 total snaps CT 278. Assuming Fox is the accurate one here with fumbles. (PFF showed 7 fumbles for CT, 10 for 2AM Fox CT 3 fumbles 1 lost 2AM 7 fumbles 3 lost)

Martinez 7 fumbles per hit 6.3% per snap 2.1%
Fumbles lost 3 per hit 2.7% per snap .9%

CT 3 fumbles per hit 5.3% per snap 1.1%
Fumbles lost per hit 1.8% per snap .4%

Martinez 307 pass attempts 10 interceptions. CT 264 attempts 9 interceptions

CT Int every 29.33 attempts
2AM Int every 30.7

Martinez turnovers with less than 3 minutes of one score games 98.23%

I’ll have more in next weeks EPP but the reason for their turnovers is different.

Martinez turned it over because he shits his pants and throws it to the wrong team.

Thompson turns it over because he is risk taker and is sometimes too confident in his ability to thread the needle to make a play.

Both result in turnovers but I know which I would choose.

It basically said Card beat out Ewers so Thompson must be a five star. Deleted because Ewers was named the starter today.
