I agree with everyone arguing against “throwing Ty to the wolves”...he has to learn our much too complicated and voluminous playbook.
My two main axions are: football is not rocket science and keep it simple stupid.
The kids spend too much time trying to learn and memorize these ridiculously huge playbooks instead of learning the fundamentals like blocking, tackling, running routes, securing the ball, covering receivers, etc.
Tyler and Anthony are very good QB’s that have been failed by incompetent play calling. A 6th grade Kidsports defense could anticipate the Ducks next play...run twice up the middle with an undersized back then throw. They would load up for the runs then blitz on 3rd down!
Play calling has been particularly weak in the red zone...ex. ISU game...2 runs up the middle followed by a slot sweep...uh?
It’s amazing that high school kids “in the good old days” were capable of learning the plays and calling their own in the games! Now college scholar-athletes are deemed incapable of accomplishing this feat.
Many of these plays fail because of missed blocks, receivers running wrong routes, etc. because the players can’t possibly be proficient executing this huge number of plays!
The only good play caller I’ve seen in my 30 years watching the Ducks is Chip Kelly.
