Why can't we simplify our pass offense to help our young QB's?

I believe the coaches could do a better job of allowing AJ or BH more success with a passing offense that

1. Doesn't take forever to develop
2. Doesn't require receivers having to run 15+ yards down the field
3. Allows AJ or BH to move by running sprint-outs, giving them the option to pass or run but also limiting their reads; also preventing them from being a sitting target.....
4. Run more bunch sets to help create favorable match-ups
5. Utilize our tight ends!!!

I know its just my opinion, but it seems like we ask too much from our passing when it doesn't need to be that way. Even a short, side-line to side-line passing game would help break up the "stacked box" we face from every opponent.

Maybe it's just me......

Did that against MSU and Jennings threw to the covered TE instead of the wide open FB.

I'm not sure it can get any more simple.

It already is basic and simple.

Simple is putting them in shotgun with easy reads and if not there take off. Use their athleticism. It's really not that hard. MSU doesn't have a complicated scheme with Prescott. The spread out offense is actually less complicated. That's why almost every high school offense runs it.

I think part of what you're seeing here is that AJ doesn't make quick decisions, in general.

Ditto. Harris seems better in this department. He is more instinctive about knowing when to tuck and run.

They kinda suck. Dickson is our best receiving threat and he has like 2 catches for 12 yards and a fumble. When Smith gets targeted he is drop prone.

How much more simplified does it need to be in order to be completely ineffective? We don't use a lot of formations, and we don't ask our QBs to do much in the passing game. They basically have a primary read, and if it's not there, the play breaks down. We can't even complete a basic screen or pass to a TE.

They definitely could make it simpler.

Look at what Kiffin did with Sims.

shite tons of bubble screens and easy short passes.

Jennings is stuck on going deep every play.
