Thoughts on the season

[Ripping Lips]

Are other P2 QBs really that bad at 20+? Felt like Raiola was hilariously bad at the deep balls.

Better than last year or maybe even Amart who couldn’t complete a simple pass between 0 to 10 yards.

He does not have the feel for it. Even HH and Purdy unleashed a few long balls that hit guys in stride last season for TD's. Did DR do that even once? He puts way too much air under them.

It's fixable. He's got the other tools so it's not too disheartening.

Yes, he did it multiple times. Needs to improve on it, but did hit a few, and early in the season also had a few receivers jogging on routes where the ball was placed well, as well as ones like the perfect deep ball to Neyor that he let get taken away.

I expect improved footwork, as well as better discipline out of the WR room to improve these connections, but IMO the consternation is overblown about what's always a lower percentage play.

DR was facing very different defenses compared to HH. DR would have completed a lot more deep balls if all he was seeing was 7-8 guys in the box and a single high safety all year.

I'd have to look at each specific qb. Cam Ward was 45% Shedildo is a little over 50%. I'd imagine Raiola is pretty average.

 

[Jim14510]

Gabriel 24/43 56%
Howard 21/38 55%
Allar 19/37 51%
Rourke 24/53 45%
Moss 17/39 44%
Altmeir 21/50 42%
Garbers 14/33 42%
Chiles 19/50 38%
Brosmer 16/44 36%
Raiola 19/56 34%
Rogers 13/36 33%
Launch 10/33 30%
Edwards 19/64 30%
Kalialmanis 15/55 27%

Not quite average in the B1G 10th of 14 with min pass attempts of 320.

 

[Jim14510]

What surprised me is that he's 2nd in attempts. Didn't feel like we took that many shots.

Do the ones that were DPI count? In any way?

I don't think so but not sure.

Wow. I knew it was bad but not south of Brosmer bad.

Yeah, I feel like people forget how comically bad our receivers were at times, half-assing their routes and dropping balls that should've been caught.

If that's true explain why Texas Tech hired the guy who was coaching them and called him one of the best under 30 coaches in America

 

[KidsSeeGhosts]

His completion percentage as 66% going into yesterday. Personally I've been a bit let down by his deep ball, which I think is largely due to his shitty mechanics, but he seems real good in the intermediate game. Maybe @Jim14510 has PFF passing chart stats that make me look like an idiot though

Certainly feels like we didn't really hit on a shot play over the last 8-9 games of the season. Would guess that most of Dylan's deep completions were 1. early in the year or 2. feathered throws in zone coverage (which is something DR excels at). Mix of some bad receiver play, protection issues, and over throws for why we couldn't hit during B1G play.

Well he is coaching RBs now at TT. Maybe his own dad didn't want him coaching WR anymore. 🤣

Probably just getting him some more experience at a different position though.

If anyone knows about being bad about going deep with balls, it's the tiny weiner libs!

If anyone thinks the balls are supposed to go deep inside a woman, they've never had sex before!
