Well I see Etling is getting better, you only see 2 things he won't be able to do vs SEC comp. Since you mentioned "elite DB's" please list those guys, so we will know who they are: MS ST Syracuse Troy Florida Auburn Ole Miss Alabama Arkansas Tennessee Texas A&M Now let me remind you "elite"

Don't be an arse... OP was simply making a personal observation. Elite might be a strong word but he is right that the secondarys for all of the remaining teams on the schedule will be better by degrees.

Pretty sure ever QB in College and NFL underthrows a deep ball every now and then.

I hardly see perfectly thrown balls in the NFL. That's part of being a pro receiver. If you can't go up and make the catch despite the imperfection you won't make it in the pros very long. In fact, that's why O'Dell and Jarvis were so good at lsu with there one hand catches and are so good today in the NFL. Mett's passes weren't anywhere near as good as Etling's passes. Yet, we have this ignoramus complaining like a loon that Etling isn't good enough and never mind this idiot never played more than touch football in the back yard.

Not to mention that most corners in the SEC aren't anywhere close to being elite. Indeed, that twirp needs to watch girl's volleyball and give up on football before he hurts himself.

I rarely see elite quarterbacks in the pros making perfect throws and if receivers can only make catches on perfectly thrown balls, guess what, they won't have a pro career.

The OP needs to go fly a kite and stop wasting everybody's time with his immense stupidity.

I don't know what planet that moron is living on, but it's not earth.

On underthrown deep balls, he did underthrow some that he should have led the receiver on.
It's situational though. When the receiver is massively behind the coverage, it's smart to err on the side of underthrowing, to be sure it's completed. Also, there are some situations where underthrowing lures the defender who doesn't look back into PI.

Crimminy, do any of y'all watch the NFL? They underthrow deep balls all the time. It's not optimum, but receivers are supposed to adjust. They have the advantage over the DBs because they will see the underthrow before the DB does. That's why the announcer of the BYU game pointed out that Greedy's interception was more the fault of the receiver than the QB - and it was.

You are such a dumb shite, but your shtick still works on here.

Thing is, I'm convinced we haven't seen a lot of over the middle mid range shots on purpose. I don't think we want our future opponents knowing we can do that effectively just yet. I think the first game was to show that Etling can actually throw the ball accurately and the second was to show that he can throw it deep so teems won't just load the box automatically on us to stop the run. This will allow Guice to do what he does.

Somebody gets it.
We've showcased our passing game just enough to make it a significant factor that future teams are going to be forced to game plan around but without giving away too much too early in the season. Perfect strategy for this early in the season.

I disagree. we've had a couple of qb's in a row that made decisions too late and took the sack. it's a long season and our backup is not ready. I like the way he salvages a play with his legs sometimes and sometimes he throws it away. my only issue is that he missed two wide open receivers right up the middle. one he was being harassed and one he wasn't. I hope that isn't the weak part of his game as we are going to need that. overall, i'm encouraged by DE and I think he can QB this team to a very good season and with a break or two along with great defense and (hopefully) some special teams TD's we can compete for the west title.
