par73 Posted October 14, 2018 Posted October 14, 2018 From where he came from, this was always going to be a tough project. He's inaccurate and leaves the pocket too early (same issues at Wyoming). Not saying he won't succeed--but right now, it is difficult to see many positives.
aristocrat Posted October 14, 2018 Posted October 14, 2018 Nate almost equaled his yards total in so much less time
davspo Posted October 14, 2018 Posted October 14, 2018 I pray I’m wrong but I do not see him as being the answer. Ironic he gets hurt staying in the pocket though.

Those were his only two poor plays today. Let's freak out! Expand To think this was an acceptable performance is just as bad as the guys who think he was a bust the minute he shook Roger's hand.

Of course Whaley agreed to the pick and, according to some, lobbied for Manuel. 1
GimmeSomeProcess Posted October 14, 2018 Posted October 14, 2018 So what you are saying is a raw qb with a lot to work on should look great after his 5th start? I was expecting progress after start 12. And compared to Green Bay, his progress has been good. Taken care of the football and has taken way less sacks
Success Posted October 14, 2018 Posted October 14, 2018 He wasn’t bad today. Certainly not great, but it’s way too early - especially for a guy who was supposed to sit the year out.

To me its not about being inaccurate or bad passes. Its more the lack of scanning or hesitation to throw Expand I agree, I think his accuracy has been fine. He does not seem to read the field like an NFL QB. He is also much to quick to leave the pocket and run.

Expand Honestly this is what I wonder about with this game watching it he wasn't all that inaccurate but a bunch of short passes would be bad if he had something deeper that he didn't throw to.

He has size and arm strength but he needs to be developed. We should have sat him for a year to get acclimated to the game. Expand Accuracy hasn't been his problem. Pocket awareness is his biggest weakness right now. 3

GunnerBill Posted October 14, 2018 Posted October 14, 2018 It is worrying because while I think he was better today than last week he is not showing clear progress. The Minnesota game looks like the anomoly at the moment. But it is so hard to evaluate him, because there is so little offensive talent around him. 1
