Risin Posted October 24, 2005 Posted October 24, 2005 Actually when he throws 1-10 yards he completes 77.1% of his passes, from 11-20 he completes 66.7%. JP is 47.5% from 1-10 and 54.3 from 11-20. Peyton Manning is 67.1 from 1-10 and 68.3. With that said, if he wants to remain the starter he needs to go deep a lot more often and stop playing it so safe. If that is coaching or the QB I don't know. 485074[/snapback] Yesterday, Holcombs yards/attempt 5.8! Sorry, I don't care how high his completion percentage is, 5.8 is downright laughable. Especially considering there are QB's that complete 50% of their passes, who have a way higher average. I was all for seeing what Kelly could do, you know what? He looks like a career backup QB, and has no business starting unless JP is hurt. We know JP has the potential to get better, Kelly is to conservative for his own good, yet makes almost as many dumb mistakes as a green Losman. Looking back, if Miami didn't do everything in their power to hand us that game, and anyone with a pulse was playing QB for the Jets, Kelly's starting record is 0-3. On top of that, his two brutal Int's (one was a rag arm throw, the other a bonehead read) assisted the Jets in scoring their only 2 TD's last week. I realise Kelly's stats are good, but if you look a little deeper, you realise he is, what he is. A career backup, nothing more. edit: Sorry, had some bad math, had to edit the piss out of this one.

Dumping the ball off over and over again just isn't going to get it done, partially with Ds having more tape of our O and what they try to do. If Holcomb doesn’t start using the entire field this O is never going to improve. Granted, it isn’t all on Holcomb’s shoulders, the Oline needs to pass protect much better as well.
