I have a feeling that is what we will see more of this year!

I'm sure every quarterback through history was 20-20 with 20 TD's during their first padded practice of the season.

I'd be much more interested in what he does the 2nd and 3rd time in full pads. I'm not too concerned about the first time out.

I played football and I played QB, you don't forget how to throw year after year. Aside from that, this post is kind of stupid because nobody said he had to be 20-20 with 20 TD's

Is this his first time in pads, every? Do you believe he just came into practice without throwing the football since last year?

You also don't know if they were on Tommy. Someone that watched practice said one a WR/RB tipped to DB and the other one the WR didn't come back at all on a hitch and Jones stepped in front.

See, good info.. Do you have a link to that? Usually, though, 7 on 7 gives the QB some time.

the only surprise here is the injury to Ivey........

No, obviously not. But it was a small sample size. See what he does over the next couple of times out. If his completion rate is still less than 50% with a 25% interception rate, I'll be concerned. But not after eight attempts.

There has been plenty of discussion on Armstrong struggling yesterday in the Fall Camp QB Competition thread.

Maybe the mods can merge this thread with that one.. Thanks for the info!!

Well, it isn't really a small sample size, he is a senior, not a Freshman. He has had a few years of sampling to select from. All of which show he is NOT a good passer, at least not when there is pressure.

I would be less concerned about his first practice with pads IF I didn't "fondly" remember watching him play against Iowa last year.

I fondly remember his game against UCLA, Minnesota, BYU, Wisconsin, and even Michigan State.

You should focus on all the positives instead of insisting on the negatives.

Those positive games only make a difference if games like Iowa don't happen.

Honestly, Tommy is a hell of an athlete and has all the tools to run this system. But is there actually one person on this board who is compeletly confident in what he will give us this year?
