Feel free to watch. The main thing I wanted to point out is the amount of times we threw the ball in his 1st career start. I mean, the plays that we designed for him were pretty good. Nice dump offs to Connor Neighbors, short throws to Landry. I was some what shocked as to how many times we threw that game. I know we had Landry/Beckham but the playcalling was reasonable and fitting for his 1st start.

Why did it regress so much? Jesus Christ, we all knew Odell/Landry were NFL ready but how can't we run a similar offense like this with Travin and Malachi. Lots of play-action on 1st down, threw deep a good bit and little dump offs.

Just being realistic here but it's safe to say our offense hasn't progressed whatsoever after this game and Wisconsin.

Honestly, we threw too much in that game (not unlike Ole Miss game earlier in the year). Hill was going off and his final TD run was a man's run. Hell of a way to go out in his final game as a Tiger.

This is what it will look like when we have OC to QB and QB confidence in general. Jennings wasn't helpes out by our inexpierence this year. This offense can be so deadly and explosive if the stars just align.

And I thought it was an awful game at the time and he would look much better this season.

You pretty much answered your own question. It's because we had OBJ and Juice. It pains me to say it, but Jennings hasn't hasn't progressed at all as a passer since that game. It's the same qb we saw all this year minus a few decent runs.

Because only one of them knows what he's supposed to do. Cam runs a very complex offense. The plays change sometime AS THE BALL IS BEING SNAPPED. Receivers and QB have to be relied upon to make the right reads, run the correct routes, and make the right throws. This season our QBs could not quite do it, and our receivers couldn't either. That's why they were more conservative.

Was that supposed to be highlights or lowlights???

4 sacks, terrible accuracy, and a pick six!

I'd say that was pretty much a preview of what this season turned out to be.

WR drops combined with LF in the backfield. Why throw more to young WRs when you can give those touches to LF?

There were highlights?

Sarcasm, but the stars of that game were Hill and Beckham. Beckham made a really nice grab, if I recall. Hill should have toted the rock more in my opinion also.

Sure it was his 1st official start, but he had happy feet on a lot of passes and there were way too may just awful throws that were not even close to being completed. This was an omen of things to come.

He stared down most primary receivers & rarely checked down to another option.

Maybe indicative of a freshman starting, but he's not progressed too much.

Looks a lot like this year's effort. He is not accurate and has no pocket awareness. Hope he can get better before next season.

No way this guy can be our QB next year. His footwork is really bad, Pocket presence, non existent, and we can't call any routes over the middle because the ball sails on him.
