The offense would have been worse with Flynn if you go on pure statistics. He would have had less yards than JJ and his completion percentage is a full 8 points lower...



But with an experienced QB, I believe that games are called differently and the offensive game plan isn't as handcuffed.

That has something to do with it.

This is another thing that infuriates me about Crow.

Lee was thrown into the fire last year. They didn't seem to dial back any of the offense for him or try to protect him from himself. Week after week (well after he'd proven prone to make critical mistakes over the middle of the field), Lee would be out there again, throwing over the middle.

To me, that's bad coaching.

This year, I think they feared doing the same to JJ. They didn't want to throw him to the wolves like they did Lee in fear of permanently damaging his ego (like Lee's).

So the games are slightly more handcuffed etc. Perhaps that is because JJ can't retain as much of the offense at this point. Perhaps that's because it's not taught to him in an effective manner. When I see him speak though he doesn't seem like a dunce.

He's the one that said we should run it on that play against Georgia. He seems to have a feel for the game in that sense.
