re: SEC Network Finley “seeing ghosts” when passing the ball

They’re just facts buddy and I’ve repeatedly laid the fault at the OCs feet and not Finley’s. He’s just doing what a freshman does. It’s not meant to be negative personally towards him but ignoring his limitations creates a dishonest discussion about him.

Some of them are facts some are not, you can’t say he wasn’t fitting the ball into tight windows while simultaneously saying they were cardinal sins and dangerous throws. They were dangerous in the since that the defenders were close(hence the fitting it in to tight windows). And I know you also mean the ones across his body, he did that maybe 2-3 times the whole game and one was to a wide the frick open Gilbert, it would have been foolish to not make that throw. You a hater bro, it’s ok

Well that’s just a discrepancy of definition between what you and I consider a tight window. Throwing the ball recklessly back across the field isn’t fitting it into a tight window, it’s only tight when the ball gets there because it’s such a bad decision. Something beyond 10 yards with a half step to a step is what I consider fitting a ball into a tight window. Labeling someone a hater because you’re too immature to face reality is a sad cop out. I don’t throw personal insults at your opinion so maybe look in the mirror if you wanna see the real hater.

I’m not talking about his cross the body throws, go watch the highlights, he got multiple balls in between 2 and 3 zone defenders, some of them pretty tight windows. Some almost to close for comfort but dude has an arm. You say you are pointing out the facts and want to have an honest discussion, I concede he has many weaknesses at this point, but I’ve never seen you give him an ounce of credit. Saying things like “he doesn’t step up in the pocket, he just rolls to his right” is not true , he sometimes prematurely bails but sometimes no. And you have to look at everything we are saying about him is through the prism of him playing in HS this time last year.

This is something Finley should be doing and maybe Ensminger needs to incorporate more QB draws from thinly spread formations instead of the slower developing read option play.

Yes, that’s what Slinger needs to do. We need more designed QB runs to further leverage TJ’s feet footed 1.8 yards per carry. :facepalm:

Most freshman have this issue.

I can’t never tell if you’re that dishonest or just that ignorant.

Ditto. TJ is the least athletic QB on the roster. He lumbers with the ball. There’s a good reason that the only designed run with him is the QB sneak.

I think Finely has acquitted himself admirably. Like any freshman, he has a lot to learn. I would say he has played no worse than Nix did last year.

Maybe if you’d read the conversation that comment was taken from and understood it’s context instead of looking for singular statements to attack you’d have a clue what you’re talking about.
