Those balls were both a bit high, but they could have been caught. I just hope they catch them when it's the Tide and the Sooners out there. But they need to be focused against everyone. There aren't any cupcakes in the SEC.

agreed but no qb has ever or will ever put every single throw on the numbers. i cant wrap my head around why anyone would pick joey as the target of their complaints. we had no running game, drops, dumb penalties, no run defense, horrible clock management, but JOEY is who people come here to complain about? blows my mind. joey is playing great ball

throwing into traffic doesn't matter if you're capable of hitting your receivers in the hands. LOADS of NFL QBs do this and they have receivers who can catch them. if the ball is on point throwing into traffic doesn't matter

They weren’t perfect passes into traffic. There were balks today that shouldn’t have been thrown. If you don’t see that it’s because you choose not to.

I'm not complaining about him and I hope it didn't come off that way. Those guys need to catch those balls. Found a way today, but you won't win every game in the SEC making that many mistakes. I hope CJH tells the whole team that he's proud of them for getting the W, but you can't keep making things that hard.

I’ve said for years that football stats should be more like baseball stats. Baseball stats are so subjective, left up to interpretation, but that’s the way it should be. When the receiver makes a mistake that leads to an interception, it shouldn’t be a negative stat towards the QB. It should be counted as a “turnover” for the WR.

It should be an error and the receiver should get an “E” sticker put on their helmet for the duration of the season for each one.

And I bet Ketselman would say he should have caught both!

At least on the second his arm was grabbed by the defender before the ball reached him. Both balls would have been easier to catch thrown lower, though whether that was possible with whatever Joey was dealing with in the pocket I don't know. It used to be that the rule was one hand on it -- could have caught it; two hands on it -- should have caught it, and if that's the way you think he's got some responsibility for the INTs.

Kid played great. He didn’t flinch all game. I thought he kept his composure and that last drive pass to Matthew’s was so clutch. He is such an upgrade over Nico. We would have 100% lost this game with Nico at QB. JA’s play reminds me a bit of Clausen.

I was about to say the exact same thing with the Clausen reference

5 INTs and the only 1 is partially on him. Pretty bizarre Guy still needs to catch it if he gets hands on it so even that I’m not fully putting on him.

Yeah, sometimes the passes are a bit high, but sometimes they have to be, to get over a defender's reach. I'm happy riding with Joey. Nico couldn't have got us where we are now. It's such a relief that I can watch games this year without always wishing we had a quarterback who could keep us competitive.

This was Joey's worst game by far. But he fought back and we still won.

That said, he put the ball into traffic way too many times; and several overthrows on some easy passes. This is the game it felt like he reverted back to some bad habits. I know the 2 INTs were "catchable", but he threw a good 4-6 passes in heavy traffic that could've potentially been picked off.

But we still won the game in spite of a lot of mistakes and some absolutely horrendous officiating (that OPI call against Brazzell now in my top 5 worst calls I've seen against us). Defense played their hearts out against an extremely good offense.
