Game 1: What do you hope to see from SR

[FrogLifeYo]

Game 1 is upon us...What are you looking for from SR?:.What little thing is he going to do that will cause you to declare us national champs or missing a bowl game?

Obviously we are going to win big but historically we have not always changed QBs well. Most recently Boykin and Kenny both had difficulty in their inaugural first seasons as Starters. Of course neither of those guys was as polished as SR..

I have a feeling we are going to see a very small playbook so I’m really looking for efficiency and command of the offense. I want to see him take leadership of the guys on the field and be a good decision maker. No gunslinger [ Finebaum ] with high turnover factor.

Thoughts

 

[DelFrog]

No turnovers

 

[Frog-in-law1995]

All the touchdowns.

 

[Moose Stuff]

Accuracy/touch
Poise/presence
Ball control

 

[CountryFrog]

Standing upright the whole game.

 

[Pharm Frog]

Can he can complete passes while throwing off his back foot? If so, we good.

 

[Bob]

Leadership.

 

[BrewingFrog]

What Moose said. In addition, I hope to see good decision making, ability to make something positive out of a busted play, and the command of the huddle that TB2 used to display.

He's had a year and two off-seasons to practice and play in this offense, and now they have likely tweaked it to showcase his strengths. We also have a monster set of running backs to take a lot of the load off his shoulders.

 

[MinFrog]

Completions on second and third reads.

If SR can be accurate and get through reads then he will be a very good QB. He can obviously run well, but I can remember TB making one read then taking off. It was when he was able to get to a second and third read that he became a great QB. So if SR can work through a progression and make accurate throws, then we are money.

I recently rewatched the Tech game last year and SR often would throw the deep ball without looking at any other routes. But when he did throw it less than 20 yards he looked really good. He needs to do more of that.

 

[FinanceFrog]

33/35, 4 passing TDs, 389 yards passing, 2 rushing TDS, 147 yards rushing.

 

[PhillyFrog]

Leadershippings.

 

[Wally the Frog]

No turnovers

No injuries!

 

[Sebastian S]

Deep ball strength and accuracy.

 

[Jefffrog1993]

Accuracy and completion percentage especially if the wind isn’t blowing 60 miles an hour. No sacks and over 300 yards rushing by our tailbacks.

 

[Frog-in-law1995]

Time to throw.

 

[HToady]

One quarter, massive lead, then play there backups.

 

[Bob Sugar]

I want see if he can throw a ball over dem mountains.

 

[Sticky_Wicket]

Plays to the level he will need to against SMU, tOSU, and UT... too much to ask?

 

[Frognosticator]

I want to see him on the sidelines, with the backups playing in the 4th quarter .

This is good.

Accuracy is often overlooked w QBs. Everybody loves to talk about sexy topics like arm strength and scrambling ability, but the ability to deliver the ball on time and accurate is by far, IMO, the most important attribute for a QB.
