So you were good with the usage of Taylor when it was obvious his skillset was more suitable with the play of our OL. I think Taylor should have been used a lot more on the back 1/2 of the season.
I think people are emotional
I feel like his passes were not good at times, but I think awful is stretching it a little bit. His timing is just a little off on some of his throws. I was impressed with how he played when he had opportunities.
Even still we had 3 sacks. And we had 3 three-and-outs in a row in the the 3Q of the Egg Bowl.
And at least one of the TD runs from KT, I feel confident in saying that would 100% have been a 7 yard loss on a sack if Shapen was in there. We had gotten to the point that the Oline wasn't good enough to give Shapen time. That Mizzou offense was horrific with Shapen back there. KT in no way could have made it worse.
Shapen might have completed the two easy 3rd down completions inside the red zone that Taylor whiffed on too. We could do what if’s all day.
Bottom line is we weren’t any better offensively vs a mediocre defense than we were all year with Shapen. KT potential is off the charts but he wasn’t ready this year.
So then how would you characterize 15/31 (48%) 173 yds, 0 TD, 1 INT?
I agree with you. Does that mean you have double digit IQ? Or did I just get lucky?
people have been throwing double digit IQ around so much lately, almost as if nearly half the people in the world don’t have one by definition
Guess I’m the only one the saw the Ferrie missed FG or the Guyten fumble at the UF 15.
For KT to be successful, Lebby's going to have to re-tool his offensive philosophy. I think there is a variation of Art's system that optimizes KT's running and throwing abilities (and limits the routes that a QB with a HS career 58.85 COMP % needs to perfect). At this point in life, you are what you are as passer (don't make me show stats). Aside from the 173 rushing yards (bravo!) in the EB, what impressed me the most about KT were the passes to Traore. Best game that I can re-call by #8 ever. So, start there. Don't over complicated it Jeff.
He missed receivers by 6 ft at times. Wide open receivers.
I can link about 7 passes when he only has 20 ish attempts. Thats pretty bad. It’s not a knock. Dak was bad as a freshman as well.
Not to mention that the passes Shapen missed on weren’t easy throws.
30/55 isn’t a flex especially considering most of that was mop up duty against weak teams.
Just painting the entire picture.
The argument that KT wasn’t ready to be a full time SEC QB is at least an argument that can be had.
Shapen misses a receiver by 6 inches on a 40 yard pass, he’s trash. Taylor misses a 10-yard pass by 6 feet, it’s cool. **
You know why? Because Taylor doesn’t fall down by a 10 mph wind gust.
How does a closer miss help? If they both are missing open wrs give me the guy that can run, doesn't fumble constantly, is hard to sack, and has upside
He was 1/1 against Texas for. 1 yd TD
It’s extremely relevant if you are screaming that KT should take over for shapen
That’s an idiotic argument if you are being serious.
