I'm not championing anything. There was obviously a problem on 3rd down last week. Just saying that blowing 6 throws out of 30 doesn't look like a full-blown case of the yips.His 60% completion percentage has been a hallmark of his play for most of his career at UT, but it still didn't change the fact that coming into the season he had the worst accuracy of all FBS QBs since 2018, in throws farther than 10 yards.
He didn't play "poorly" Saturday, but trying to champion 60% accuracy at the same time as you are watching him consistently missing wide-open down field throws and the offence is going 1/11 on third down conversions, is a bit a disingenuous.

Hmm, that doesn't look like coach speak to me.
Coach speak is, "we are just focusing on one game at a time, and that's the game this Saturday," or "we only control what we control," or "it doesn't matter whether you get knocked down, it only matters whether you get back up," and so on. That's what coach speak looks like.
This looks like some pretty detailed analysis of a player's performance by a guy who knows the game far better than you and me.
Now, you could question whether it's a complete appraisal. You could question whether it is a fully objective appraisal. But there's no doubt this goes well beyond just being coach speak.![]()
If thats truly the case then Pruitt isnt the right guy for the job.[/QUO
We can agree to disagree because you can’t beat a dead horse. At some point you hv to try and encourage the kid because you can’t afford him to hv any set backs at all. The throw have been charted. He missed on 6 out of 7 3rd down throws and several others too.
Again his throws are charted and 1/7 on 3rd down getting it right by calling the right play or attempting to find the right target but not hitting it does not lead to wins.
Imo you win the post of the day award. Spot on!Honestly, if a guy is pushing the envelope enough there will be some turnovers. I could live with JG's "stat line" a lot better if he'd thrown 4 TD's and an INT.... than being 0-2 in the RZ and 1-7 on third down.
I know it is a different O and am not surprised that LSU appears to have dropped off significantly... but if I were an MSU fan I'd be just fine with Costello's two picks with 5 TD's. Contrary to conventional wisdom... turnovers did not cost them the game but the chances they took in the passing game did win it for them.

I have ways had an issue with that site.....they literally said that JG was 4-5 in thr 1st quarter for 80% comp% but accuracy was the same....when everyone saw the 1st pass alone was not accurate.......they only count incompletions as off target...Damn, they have a rando stat for everything. I'm curious on what percentage of offensive plays JG's shoes were tied and what the success rate was on downs where his shoes weren't tied compared to downs where they were.. This info would no doubt be important to one side of the argument........
or the other.

Here's another one you can try to disclaim. You spinners are having trouble spinning these.I have ways had an issue with that site.....they literally said that JG was 4-5 in thr 1st quarter for 80% comp% but accuracy was the same....when everyone saw the 1st pass alone was not accurate.......they only count incompletions as off target...
They have his overall accuracy at 58 which mean they say 1 competition wasnt an accurate throw...
That is not how the measure it. The measure ifit was accurate regardless of a catch. His completions were on the money. JG threw some nice passes on Sat.I have ways had an issue with that site.....they literally said that JG was 4-5 in thr 1st quarter for 80% comp% but accuracy was the same....when everyone saw the 1st pass alone was not accurate.......they only count incompletions as off target...

Maybe. I think he was late with his read and rushed the throw. Wasn't 80 more or less stopped when he jumped for the ball? That throw needs to be made about the time the receiver clears underneath coverage.this is a reasonably take for sure. It’s one of the reasons JGs INT totals over his career are so low.
I think the throw down the sideline that was overthrown to 80 fits the “fear of the safety pic over the top” angle you are discussing here. Obviously he was more open than normal but I’m sure the QBs are taught to throw that ball where only the WR or sideline can catch it. I think the fear of the pick caused that wild throw
You don't like stats I take it. When one side throws out comment after comment based off woulda, shoulda, coulda arguments on JG there is almost always the stats to prove that he's not nearly as bad as the neverJGers claim. They would say he's not as good as the JG apologist make him out to be but I don't see ANYONE claiming JG as elite, most simply argue he's not the dog you and others claim him to be.
