AnotherOD No. 51 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I think the "free play" was at about 8:33 in the 4th. The dangerous "almost pick" to the RB was at about 6:55 (pass to Duck RB James out of the backfield that UA DL #1 Harris almost gets). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One was a 'free' play which showed good decision on Ty's part and one was a near pick on the screen which showed a poor decision. And there sums up the conundrum of Ty Thompson. Is he, or is he ain't ? 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any progression from the first game he played until now. Do you have facts regarding how he has been coached? I'm afraid the I have more respect for Charles Fisher and this site than to get into a debate with you on this issue. I will not argue this point; if you do not agree with my view then you don't.

Mic No. 54 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Lest we forget, 5-stars or not, both Thompson and Butterfield were recruited by Mario Cristobal & staff. So, to judge how well Dan Lanning and Kenny Dllingham are at developing QB's we need to keep in mind the possibility neither of those two coaches would have chosen either of those two QB's. Still, they're here, we need them to be able to perform. O has a duty (as I see it) to help them get to the where the team needs them to be if something (God forbid!) happens to Bo Nix. Just another reason to withhold that 'A' rating when grading Dan Lanning as a Head Coach. Hence, my B+ to A- in that earlier grading post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie No. 55 Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) I wonder if TT is like an actor who is great in rehearsals, but gets stage fright when he performs in front of a live audience? Edited October 10, 2022 by Annie 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are a QB away from a title shot and he would give them that. That would make for a heck of a Civil War! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuckFan93 No. 57 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Two thoughts: 1. Star rating: Remember Bermister? That guy couldn't throw a spiral if his life depended on it. And he was a 4-star? Then of course Mariota and Herbert were both 3 stars? So the system is not to be relied upon. 2. I get why the coaches call conservative plays and use 2nd string players during garbage time. But with an unproven inexperienced QB, wouldn't it make more sense to call him some real plays and surround him with 1st stringers to get him some real experience? Sigh... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
