Tebow was a freshman in 2006, won the Heisman in 2007, and rings in 2006 and 2008. Addazio was at Florida from 2005 to 2010.
Patrick Towles
- Thread starter rockycard
- Start date
He wanted him when he hired Brown but Brown had kentucky ties and I believe was suggested he hire Brown so he never approached Gran and then he did talk to Gran a second time but Gran said he wasn't ready to leave Cincy so he hired Dawson after the OC from ECU was waiting for a better offer which he got from OU. It is out there I don't have time to do your research for you because you seem to always want negativity when it comes to Stoops since it fits your agenda. Go Cats.
Passing yardage is not a great indicator of performance anyway. Modern passing era at UK is probably defined as post Bill Curry, and he is middle the road on that list. See context below.His QB rating was very average last season and independent reviews of Towles rated him as a mid-low tier D1 QB. If he was better than that he probably would have been somewhere other than Boston College, which had the worst offense in D1 last year. In this thread no one has bashed Towles but some have said he just wasn't a good QB.The evidence above backs that up....he was and is an average Division 1 quaterback, not a good D1 QB or a top half SEC quarterback.
This doesn't mean he doesn't have pro potential or that he can't become a good D1 QB. Hartline probably became a good D1 QB in his senior year. Towles had a higher passing rating today than he did at any game at UK last season. BC fans had the same complaints we had last season in the first half of that game.....throws high and wide, throws 100 mph, doesn't make reads, not a quick decision maker.....etc etc.....but in the third quarter he showed glimpses of greatness, and almost led his team to victory.
Similar inconsistency to what we saw at UK.
When did the pass finally overtake the run in college football? 1981 was the point of no return. That year, FBS (I-A) teams averaged 169.4 rushing ypg and 164.7 passing ypg. It was the last time the average FBS team gained more yards on the ground than through the air. The chart below tracks the yearly progression of the NCAA average rushing and passing yards per game since 1972.
Not apples to apples to compare prior generations of football in passing yardage. Seperation between rushing/passing yardage in college football really started to divide in 1988.

I like the kid and wish him well but he takes too long to throw the ball. Watch any other successful QB in the SEC and the good ones get it out very quickly. PT never had that. I think Barker has a quick release but he just didn't have the right footwork last year. We will know in a few hours but I think BBN is going to be very surprised at 2016 version of Barker. I think you will also be amazed at how good our OL looks with a quick release QB. We will see.
Oh well, PT's locks are still flowing so at least he's got that going for him...
In certain relationships of all shapes and sizes, a change of scenery is in order.
Hope it works for him.
Hope it works for us.
Hope it works for him.
Hope it works for us.
Towles at BC looked a lot like Towles at UK. Good luck to him, but UK is better off.
I thought he looked good, not great. Certainly the playing calling suits his talents better than Dawson's did between the runs & throws over the middle. One early INT that wasn't a pathetic throw in poor weather. One hit from behind that caused a fumble - happens to Heisman winners. What else is there to rag on?
Where in my post did I say he lost the game?
Where?
You made a Grand Canyon leap, from my opposing that he had a good game; to assuming I was blaming him for the loss.
I don't know what the eff you're talking about. Never EVER said you said Towles lost the game. Good god man, sober up before kickoff.
Just hopefully UK looks different with towles Aat BC then we did with towles at UK
BC fans should be amped..14 points.. thats like 13 more than they averaged last year..and should have had 20
You need to reread your post that you used my post in quote.
And you you need to lighten the **** up.
Good gawd if Simone disagreed with your highness
Maybe you should have a shot or two
I did reread, still don't know what's got your little feathers ruffled. Must be your time of the month.
That's some cherry picking stats.
...................Com/Att % Yards Y/A TD/INT Rating
UK QB-A 313 / 479 65.3 3380 7.1 26 / 13 137.1
UK QB-B 427 / 759 56.3 5099 6.7 24 / 24 116.8
Which one these is the more productive QB?
You can quote all the stats you want on the kid, but the truth is, the kid is just never going to become the player so many fans hyped him to someday be. He is what he is. He's a decent player and average qb. If this kid was our starting QB this year, i wouldn't even feel as good about our team as i do now. When it comes to making plays at QB to win games, the kid can not do it. If you start and hang around a few years at a school like Kentucky, no offense meant here, but we aint exactly set the football world on fire with our past great teams/players. Hartline was hated on more than Towles during his time at Kentucky and truth is, the kid is twice the talent Towles is. When you are not as loaded all over the field like the power schools, you better have a QB back there that can win you football games. Towles is not that guy and never will be. The kid will obviously put up better stats after getting out of the SEC, but will still be the same QB. I was cheering for Towles today and hope he does well, but i am not about to feel sad about the kid leaving Kentucky and playing elsewhere. We're not elite at football, but we can do better at the QB spot than Towles.
the time of month for dickhead to respond to my posts?
Yeah, must be...
Goodbye. Go cats
Ha ha outside SEC competition isn't going to well for Barker and crew.
