everything i had heard about lee before the year was that he had an absolute cannon for an arm... Big Willie care to comment on this as well as an earlier comment talking about some people possibly underestimating his talentknapplc said:As much as I've been a Zac Lee supporter, I have to air my one big gripe about his play (ignoring the Option - I'll blow a gasket if we discuss the Option). The dude CONSTANTLY throws off his back foot. His ball floats, it's consistently thrown behind the receiver, and he's just damned lucky we're not playing better secondaries because he'd get picked off a LOT.
He needs to step into his throw and damn the pass rush. He'll take some shots but he's the starting QB for Nebraska - that's what he signed up for!
Aside from that one thing, I thought Zac played his best game since ULL. Smart, safe football, risks at the right moments, and only one really bone-headed call (again, the Option, but we're not discussing that).
I've noticed that as well. I have yet to see him step into a throw and see a nice tight spiral hit someone, on a line, while they are in stride. I have no idea if he has the arm to do that. I did notice that during the TT game there was a noticeable difference in the velocity between Green's and Lee's throws. Does that mean anything in the grand scheme of things this season? No it does not, but it does portend well for the future and what could be with a knowledgeable Green.
