His tip rate was extremely low at ASU.

Slow defenses compared to SEC D's

He does seem to sail balls high so tippsies do count in that situation.

Isn't he the leading passer in the SEC right now?

Or is it just really bad luck.


He's had some bad throws this year. Some of the tipped balls were bad throws as well. It's not all bad luck.

pretty bad about staring down a WR when he has others open
I'm pretty sure you can't quantify this. This is just your casual anecdotal observation

quote:

if the main WR he’s looking at is covered, he’s always checking down to the RB
Good quarterbacking right there

He won’t be able to rely on Jones to beef up his passing yards all season
Why not? Also, "beefing up." LSU is #1 in the conference in longest pass plays

Somebody like Alabama will tear that shite up like Brian Dawkins vs Reggie Bush
Ok Nostradomus

Sam's "turnover" problem is overstated. Aside from 1 quarter in week 2, he's only thrown 5 INTs and at least 1 of those was a bad luck tipped pass.

You do realize a ripped ball is not always “bad luck”… sometimes it’s poor timing or inaccuracy that causes a “tipped ball”

The rate that those TIPs result in interceptions is ASTRONOMICALLY HIGH. That is my point. He hasn't had a crazy number of tips, a good bit sure, but if you base his tips to number of interceptions it should have resulted in, he as 2 or 3 more than he should have based on statistics.
