I think plenty of coaches would have gotten a lot more production out of AJ.


I will say this.

It's sort of football 101 that if you are scared shitless of your QB throwing the ball then the last thing you want is for him to ONLY be throwing on 3rd and long.

Most coaches stuck with a shaky QB tend to find some high percentage passes they can throw on 1st down to steal 3-5 yards. Basically, glorified running plays(hint, ND started off with that against us!!!). This helps keep the defense from putting 8-9 in the box. It ain't perfect but you wont get perfect with AJ at QB.

If the ONLY time you throw with a shaky QB is when the whole world knows he has to throw, that ain't going to make him LESS shaky. Also, by doing that, you effectively make every throw high pressure. It's like the difference between being at the plate in baseball with no outs and no strikes vs being at the plate with two outs, two on and the count is 1 ball two strikes. We basically have our QBs in the latter situation a LOT!

They are 18-22! Pressure doesn't HELP a shaky QB!
