It appears you have quotes from 2 different people there. Not sure if you think they are both from me, but I'll respond. I don't think you are being a pain in the butt.

I'd say Coker has had an up and down season. Early on it was the gratuitous interceptions and throwing into double coverage. That has been mitigated. During this time he would stay in the pocket too LONG and try to throw too far with pressure in his face. Then he started getting rid of the ball. Great adjustment.

Then he started getting more pressure consistently from rushers and started leaving the pocket more often. Understandable since the line was not performing it's best until the LSU game. Since the LSU game he has remained antsy and will leave a healthy pocket or scramble backwards into defenders instead of either stepping up or throwing it away.

So it's not necessarily negativity...in fact, I really do think he has all the tools necessary...all but years of 1st team reps. It's just observations on his progress. He has progressed and regressed in various areas. The stats show a fair amount of consistency (like you pointed out) in performance like completion percentage and attempts, it's more just looking at some of his tendencies and where he has picked them up.

EDIT: I see where you thought both those quotes were mine. I replied to another poster with his quote but the code messed up (probably my user error) and his reposted statement at the top of my post didn't have the proper "Quote" box around it. Thanks for responding!

No problem. Only thing I would like to see Coker going forward is to throw more deep passes to Ridley... I don't think we've seen that since Arkansas game. We just need to get back to where we are... a threat with pass/run offense.

I too wish Jake would just throw it away more often. And I don't blame him for being gun shy given some of the hits he's taken. However, if the price of keeping him healthy for the rest of this season is abandoning the long ball entirely, I'm ok with that. Ridley is a threat to house it every time he touches it. Stewart has the speed to do it, too, if he can just secure the catches. It's nice to have 40-yard touchdown passes, but it's critical for Jake to stay healthy.

Mullaney has been big for us. He doesn't catch a lot of balls but I think he has been important in the development of Ridley, Stewart and co.

The Defensive Line's progress has been amazing. Maybe the best ever!

That is a 4-5 second route. Not sure he had that much time in either the LSU or MSU games.
