Completion % And How It Translates To The Pros

Most passing yards in Div. 1 history no? -
Everyone Talks Trade Up For QB, But What If....
Coach Tuesday replied to H2o's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The Bennett trade was prior to free agency right? Totally different calculus when you don’t have to worry about losing the guy... -

Necessary but not sufficient, then? -
I’ve been advocating for this. He’s young, cheap, smart, coachable, super-accurate and has one of the best touch passes in the league.

Shady Wants to Keep His "Lil Coins" in 2018

The Bills put themselves in this spot by needlessly extending his contract twice... -
Everyone Talks Trade Up For QB, But What If....
Coach Tuesday replied to H2o's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Would not surprise me at all and it would make 3 for 3 of the Pegulas' rookie GMs to be given a boatload of draft capital and promptly squander it. -
Not exactly right. That score "kept us in the game" because the offense was totally out of sync and couldn't sustain drives that would have kept the defense off the field. There were hardly any first downs in that game by the Bills, IIRC. Three-and-outs and long touchdown passes.
-
Yes, this too. But I distinctly recall Tyrod running around for his life in that game and heaving it downfield on a prayer several times. That was literally the entire offense.
-
So here is my theory about that, but it's just that - a guess: I was at the Thursday night Jets home loss after which Roman was fired. From the stands, you could see the dysfunction. Playcalls were coming in extremely late, players weren't lining up in the right spot, and Tyrod seemed frustrated and flustered. There were a handful of big pass plays that looked like they resulted from some kind of "playground ball" discussion in the huddle (or during a Tyrod scramble), i.e., they were made up on the fly. I think Terry and Kim were embarrassed that the product looked that poor that on the national stage. I think that led to a "come to Jesus" discussion with Rex, which led to Roman's ouster. (Rex should've been on notice that he'd be next if the ship wasn't righted, but he didn't get the message or didn't care or know how to adapt. I'm not saying the playbook wasn't a factor, it may have been. But it seemed to me that the preparation and organization were lacking and that was the bigger issue.

Spotrac: The Mother of All QB Offseasons
Coach Tuesday replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Ok thanks - your hunch is good enough for me. Sounds well-researched and plausible. -
That Chandler quote - so true. The Patriots spend the first few drives testing the defense to see what looks they’re getting, like an assassin testing the perimeter of a security fence. I want.

2018 Potential Free Agent WRs
Coach Tuesday replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You and I need to have a discussion about apostrophes. This is getting out of hand. -
Daboll's preferred offense and QB.
Coach Tuesday replied to Logic's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
No doubt the guy may faceplant. But it gives me hope that he is a grinder who understands what all of the positions are supposed to be doing, has focused on QB development, is happy to be in Buffalo, and (in theory) will adapt his scheme to the personnel. Let's just wait and see what the results are? -
I really think that was more personnel than scheme - the Patriots have been playing Moneyball for over a decade now - they figured out that scatbacks and undersized slot WRs are undervalued by the marketplace and they bought a lot of them, then schemed them into the offense.

Daboll's preferred offense and QB.
Coach Tuesday replied to Logic's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Such a ridiculous comment he made. The TE coach in New England is by no means at the bottom rung of the ladder, and in any event there is a mountain of evidence that Belichick viewed Daboll as integral. -

You're such a bipolar poster - at times you're amazing, at other times we get garbage like this. -
I agree. I want them to do both. Tyrod just needs a fresh start, they can't sell another year of him to the fanbase I'm afraid.
-
I think he means Alex Smith is the most likely guy but it's not clear. In any event, I'm going to keep banging the table for Teddy Bridgewater. He's basically Alex Smith - less mobile, but a bit more of a gunslinger. Super accurate and doesn't turn the ball over much. Will be affordable.

Spotrac: The Mother of All QB Offseasons
Coach Tuesday replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
No doubt - his leg almost got amputated! But it seems like it was a total fluke and that he's healthy now. His arm strength is average, no worse than Keenum's. His specialty is the short- to medium-range area of the field, like Alex Smith but he's more of a gunslinger. He doesn't have a cannon but he seems to have a great touch pass and a good feel for finding open spaces in the defense. He was just coming into his own when he went down, something like a 70% completion rate in his last healthy season. -
Disagree that he went back to what worked before he got here. Yes he mixed in some power running concepts from Roman's playbook - but his base offense never changed. If it had, he might still be here.

Spotrac: The Mother of All QB Offseasons
Coach Tuesday replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Denver is definitely going after Cousins. They're reportedly asking Demarius Thomas to take a paycut - I hope he refuses and we have a chance at him. Personally I'd much rather go after Bridgewater - he'll be much cheaper than Cousins, he's coachable and his accuracy is way better than Cousins (to my untrained eye, at least - Cousins seems streaky to me). -
The thing I hated most about Marrone during his tenure in Buffalo was that it always seemed that he was out to prove a point. I was sure that he would've rather lost the game doing things his way than won the game doing things someone else's way. It drove me nuts. Perhaps he has softened a bit in Jacksonville and I imagine he may have been humbled by what happened to him after he opted out. There is no question that Jacksonville has drafted well (some of us - ahem - were pounding the table for Miles Jack) and their approach to free agency on defense has been impressive (Campbell and Cyprien have been nice adds). Curious to see what they do at the QB position this offseason, as there is no way Bortles comes back as the unqualified starter. Perhaps it's a landing spot for Tyrod.

Agreed - as I said upthread, these guys are trying to build a PROGRAM, not just a roster. Daboll comes from the two best programs in NFL and NCAA history, respectively. Although I gotta disagree with you about Dennison, I do not think he managed the QB talent that he was given. He installed his own offense which did not suit Tyrod's skillset and then spent the entire season advocating for the 5th round backup (who sucks).
