Thanks_Tom RR Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 https://twitter.com/swmckewonOWH/status/840010938929553413 While watching Langs talk about how they grade every play for QB in practice and how completion percentage is the most important measure, I was wondering why no one asked the follow up about completion percentages in practice. Glad Sam decided to ask this simple and obvious question. Good job for doing your job at the most basic level! Quote Link to comment
Nebfanatic Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 More than 70% seems great! Wonder where the QB's completion percentages were at this time last year Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 More than 70% seems great! Wonder where the QB's completion percentages were at this time last year Just my SWAG thought on this. I would not be surprised that if they are completing over 70% now, that would translate into something maybe around 60-65% in live action in the fall. Meaning, this does not mean we are going to see over 70% completing during the season. We could......but probably not. BUT...hey....at least it's a good sign they are completing that many in practice. 1 Quote Link to comment
Cdog923 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 2013 - All three QBs that played that year were not good at the passing part of the game they were being asked to do. And...again we had an OC who had spent his time as the passing game coordinator trying to coach players who were more adept at running the ball. Beck was also the running backs coach before being promoted to QB, and they didn't run an air-raid at KU. He's also the guy who recruited Armstrong, so... that doesn't really make sense. Sorry, I won't agree with that. Armstrong has constantly been asked to make plays and be more of a passing QB than using his legs. I'm not necessarily saying Beck was calling too many passing plays..etc. I'm saying Armstrong was never going to be the type of QB Beck needed....even though he recruited him. There was always a struggle between what the OC wanted and what Armstrong was able to do. You don't have to agree. Just look at the QB's he recruited. Tommy Armstrong, Jamal Turner, Bubba Starling, Johnny Stanton, AJ Bush, etc... That's what he recruited. None of those guys were what I'd call good passers. That's on Beck. A real "Who's not" list of QB's. Yeesh. The particularly bad thing is this: 4 star, 4 star, 4 star, 4 star, 3 star. Lends yourself to believe that Beck really didn't know how to identify pure QB talent. 2 Quote Link to comment

But I don't know for sure I would be interested to see where the QB's were last spring in practice as a reference point. Quote Link to comment

Still, that is what off-season practice is for. Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 What's a 70% completion percentage? Quote Link to comment
Thanks_Tom RR Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 What's a 70% completion percentage? It is about 3/4th Riled. 2 Quote Link to comment
swmohusker Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 OH NO! Fire Diaco? JK!! I really hope to see some passes were I dont hold my breathe everytime we throw the ball. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 OH NO! Fire Diaco? JK!! I really hope to see some passes were I dont hold my breathe everytime we throw the ball. It will take a long time for that to work out of my system. 2 Quote Link to comment
Nebfanatic Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 The way Lee talks it sounds like he wasn't as focused on football at Tulane. I suppose that's pretty easy to do living in the Big Easy and going to school a few blocks from Bourbon street Quote Link to comment
