Milton’s drop rate #1 in SEC

[bpalmer28]

It’d be nice if our guys would catch the ball, but how much of this is due to the fact that he throws the hardest ball in the league?

Catch the ball “Edward sissy-hands”

 

[TrippieRedd]

It’s the fact that he throws it 20+ yards past our receivers. If we had elasti girl on the team we’d be ok.

 

[LeBleu]

I think his throws are more like a finishing move for a boss battle, which doesn't translate to football so well.

That’s also another issue on the offense, man those WR’s drop passes. Hyatt has been invisible so far.

 

[GordonC]

I thought we were only supposed to talk about the overthrows.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Been some bad drops but Milton has zero touch.

This list says a LOT about our QB situation.

2nd guy on that list, Calzada, is a Sophomore at A&M and took over when Mond got injured.
Didn't take long (reason he is on this list) and he got benched for the Freshman, King.
Very, very telling about our lack of QBs when we can't bench our number one guy with the most drops...

 

[LeBleu]

I think this is one of the recruiting pics from fingerpaint himself.

IMO, any pass that travels more than 15-20 yards (either horizontally or vertically) reduces the velocity enough via air drag, and gives a receiver time to get their hands in position to the point that the receiver can't use initial pass velocity as an excuse. Our WRs practice use JUGS machines which can throw 70 MPH passes. I've seen practice videos of Jauan Jennings practically taking the football off the JUGS machine he was so close. According to the internets, as of 2018 the fastest QB throw at the NFL combine is 66 MPH, and only three have been measured topping 60 mph (Mahomes hit 60 MPH). The whole idea that a wr can't catch one of Milton's passes on a 10 yard out where the ball is travelling 20 yards horizontally and 10 yards vertically (which equal 22 yards air distance) is laughable. We have one receiver in particular who has issues with drops.

Maybe we should start another qb thread.

“FINISH HIM!!!!”

Amen, both are the problem

Milton soft,been saying it..Kid scared of that live action,anyone played etc can tell that.Now injuries could be in the head,but big boy needs to punish.He gets twitchy after 1.3 or so,anticipatez the hit and early releases.U can see it on the film honestly.If he side steps avoids it,which is touch finesse he give those dudes that extra 1sec he lost being a marshmellow.

So an overthrow is the same as a dropped pass? Please explain that.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Just goes to show that it’s more about just QBs

 

[TitanicVolz]

Milton...But can he write a proper sentence while tying his shoes to the alphabet backwards..Asking for a buddy of mine lives above me here haha..All in fun man,no harm no foul befor we cause a ruckus..

It’d be nice if our guys would catch the ball, but how much of this is due to the fact that he throws the hardest ball in the league?

Very little IMO. If you go back and watch the drops (mostly Hyatt), they weren’t darts from 5-10 yards away

 

[FTCvol]

Lol

Perhaps that is a sign of not throwing balls that are optimally catchable.

When it’s Milton… we blame the QB… when it’s Bailey… we blame the WRs

All I remember is him standing there like a statue for five seconds not even moving in the pocket. Maybe the hit he took in the Pitt game made him rethink that.

I have so much hope for Hyatt, but so far he is like the modern day Spotted Ape Leonard "hands of stone" Scott. He has to make catches! Really hope things begin to click for Hyatt soon.
