starting to question Dylan, he has not shown the ability to get the ball out on time,

I am not bashing Dylan or blaming for loss he made some nice throws and stats look good. The problem I have is he is not letting the ball go. The line had a rough nite but I saw some guys open on curls and things and he would just not let throw the ball. Here is my question for coaches or film junkies. Things I did not see live but maybe can see on film. I think at least a couple sacks are on him for not seeing guys or simply not throwing it away. but here goes if any takers: 1: Is Dylan too conservative or scared to release the ball or are receivers not open?? 2. He may be a great presnap guy, but is he a slow processor post snap? I do not see quick throws from him and did see some guys reasonably open for a quick 5 yd gain vs another sack. 3 Am I the only guy screaming at the TV for him to throw the ball as he scanned a lot and would not let it go? I dont want to be too critical but starting to think he may be lacking something that is not allowing him to get the ball out quickly or anticipate. I assume some film study could give us a clue what the answers are to my question. Great statts and some really nice throws but if he cant find people more quickly and handle pressure it may keep us from getting over the top against good teams. I also will not discount Holgersen's culpability for scheming for quick throws.

I thought some sacks were definitely on him. I don't think he just threw the ball away once today. He definitely didn't lose us the game today, but he didn't go out and win it either. He's very good for a true Sophomore, not as good for a player in his 17th start. He played better than Underwood, but he should have.

Dude… he passed for 3 TD, 300 yards, 73% passing. This is nitpicking expecting him to be perfect when the rest of the team is far from perfect.

Once in a while he needs to throw the ball away instead of taking a sack. But his real issue is the offensive line especially the tackles.

Dude just stop. He was the only reason that we stayed in the game. Was he late on some throws? Maybe I don’t know hard to tell on tv. We couldn’t run the ball we couldn’t protect the QB yet somehow he still throws for 300 with 75% completion percentage.

Well first off, I was not blaming dylan for the loss of the game. I was simply making an observation about an area of his game that could be a problem. I also stated it as a question that I am not sure -is it his problem, are there no receivers open, scheme issue, probably could have thrown a few away. And was also seeing if anyone may have good input to answer my questions. I want to know because I can watch a game and see he seems to be hesitant to release the ball and it costs sack yards. You cant always see downfield on tv during the game but there were a few plays I see a 5 yard receiver open or an out pattern downfield that is open enough for an anticipation throw and he is not taking those opportunities and then taking a sack. He did it last year also but being a freshman etc more understandable. But if that is who he is, we will have a hard time against good teams under pressure and bullets flying.

The OT's suck and have for way too long. When was the last good Oline we've had? I honestly can't think of one*

You are so wrong. He throws for 300 yds. 3 tds while getting hammered on every play. No running game to help him. Frankly he was amazing. He does hold the ball too long sometimes. But he is the best player on this team. By far. If he had an offensive line and a running game he would win the Heisman.

Dylan played well today. I do believe this is a part of coaching. He’s become a non risk type qb. Throw the safe throws and don’t put us I harms way. Let’s manage the game.

Raiola has 11TD's, 1 INT and hit 75% of his passes this season. Our high priced WR's are soft, OL especially OT and Luto are not good and need to shuffle the lineup. DR15 the last of my worries, 2 of the 7 sacks are on him only. He also avoided a sack 3 times on the first drive alone.

Why is this post getting bashed? He asked a legitimate question - and a good one. Two things can be true at once. Dylan is playing extremely well this year. Aside from the pick, which was a horrible read, he played well today. However, he does need to throw the ball away a little more and be quicker getting it out at times. I also think his OC can do more to help him in that regard. That said, it’s awfully hard to do when your offensive line is getting destroyed and your running game is non existent.

Dylan is one of the best QBs in the conference. We are lucky to have him. For now. Guessing he transfers. My only criticism are the clear glasses he wears post game. Super lame look. Maybe it works in NY or LA.

Some of the sacks were on him… some were on the OL… his uncle happens to be the OL coach… so he wouldn’t be here if his uncle wasn’t the OL coach… so what a pickle we are in. OL won’t get better with Donny. Dylan won’t be here if his uncle gets replaced. So what a waste of money they both are.

wondering if we'll go back to harberg next week. the boy is still wearing #10 rather than a traditional tight end number like #90 so you'd have to think QB is still in the mix 😳

FFS The QB was balling. The left tackle is absolutely trash. That should be the post.

Nearly 66%(65.9%) of Dylan's 29 - 44 drop backs (according to PFF) he was under pressure. FFS, I don't know of any QB that can do what he did. I'm sure there are some, that's elite.
