Why do we struggle so much to throw the football?

[SirCrimson]

Do your think its because we don't have a big man outside or we just dont have the talent at WR/QB? Something just don't seem up to par.

Look at the stats again....

How many high powered passing offenses have won a national championship recently?

WR's dont have to be big to be great. I think it's a combination of us lacking talent at the WR position and breaking in a young QB.

It could also be the "don't screw up" mentality.

 

[DiamondDust]

It can also be wide-outs not getting open, separation, etc. We aren't seeing what AJ is seeing each and every play.

I'll never understand why other teams can get amazing quarterbacks, and we just keep getting those "game managers". Its been the case for a long time, regardless of the coaching staff.

Because it's been like that for a while. If I'm a top QB recruit that wants to put up crazy numbers and such, I'm not going to an SEC school.

You dont think Tebow's offense with Percy Harvin and Hernandez was a high powered offense? you dont think Aubies offense last year was high powered? You dont think our 09 offense with Ingram and Julio wasnt high powered?

You have to have balance. This "defense wins defense" slogan is only part of the truth...good qbs have been difference makers in a lot of the recent championships...three of which were one by 2 of the best college QBs in history (Cam, tebow and Vince). Heck RGIII beat Oklahoma by himself the other night.

He said high powered passing offenses. As you mentioned, all the offenses listed were balanced with a very good running attack.

Our passing-game coaching is not as good as our running-game coaching. (Same with kicking.)

 

[CajunCrimson]

Tebow? High powered passing attack? You want us to run an Urban/Gus spread offense?

We are pretty balanced if you look at the numbers

RGIII lost three games this year. I like our offense better

Missed the "passing part." Sorry about that.

And I wouldnt trade our entire offense for Baylors entire offense but I'd take RGIII at qb. I'm pretty sure most would. World class speed, accurate thrower and can sit in the pocket...he's projected pretty high in the NFL right now as well.

The best quarterback in the SEC Tyler Wilson has a 148.7 rating. AJ has a 146.5 rating. The only struggling I've seen is with redzone play calling.

AJ will find his rhythm. He is a smart kid.

AJ is in the Top 3 in all QB categories in the SEC. Only Wilson and Murray are slightly better than him. at times, AJ is better and leads at certain categories. all this for a first time starter in the best conference.
