DAG 33,957 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 So...didn’t anyone watch JS in the all star QB challenge for QB accuracy? He is leading right now. He hit two moving targets which was pretty dang good haha. Hopefully he can continue representing and make himself some money at the combine.

If he had the right mindset this past season, even with OL issues, no telling the convo we’d be having right now. Not a championship team, but probably a 9+ win team with an engaged JS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnEagle79 2,165 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I would love to know exactly what happened with him this year. Between running for his life every other play and getting engaged, I suppose his mind was elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr82b4au 5,568 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 He is one of the most accurate qbs ever within 20 yards when he is not under pressure. I do wish him the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To watch over each and every thread on this forum if I must. Just to continually point out that JS wasn't under that much diress this year. It was mostly his fault for being skittish.

Last year's O-Line was terrible at run blocking, but above average at pass blocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure felt like our center was getting pushed into Stidham's shins on every dropback almost. He dealt with significant pressure last season, I'm not sure how it can be spun any other way to be honest. Not knocking your opinion but I'm a little surprised someone is saying JS didn't have pressure in his face constantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I would say a large portion of his flushes were totally unnecessary. Step up and throw. Take a hit and throw. He just won't do it without a totally clean pocket. No play exemplifies this better than Stidham missing a wide open Slayton at Mississippi State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, did you know that we were 81st in pass attempts per game? That right there would suggest that we're not going to get sacked a ton. Do you know how many times Stidham wasn't sacked because he escaped pressure? Also, over 25% of his completions were to Ryan Davis, who averaged less than 8 yards per reception. That means that he was frequently throwing screen passes that took about as long to get off as a pitch to a runner, ie not much pass blocking required. I see in a subsequent post that you've acknowledged that he did in fact deal with pressure. So we're good here now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUght2win 6,826 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I'll never forget the interception that sealed the UCF game. It's the only time I've ever seen a quarterback throw a ball away out of panic, but not get hit on the play. If he steps up and throws, at the very least we live to see another play. Instead, he is focused on the rush, his eyes go to the pass rush, and he shifts his WHOLE body to make sure he isn't touched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Yo. Nobody's saying the dude handled pressure well. What you initially said is that our OL pass blocked well and that he was never under any duress. Which is super duper inaccurate for most of 2018. Our OL was on the verge of being adequate by late 2018. Yay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The line wasn't great, especially early in the year. But he was "constantly running for his life" for the same reason a bunny rabbit is constantly running for its life. Sheer unnecessary panic. Step. Up. And. Throw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was running alright, but it wasn't always necessary. That's on him, not the line. Our line was a solid C at pass blocking, in my book. Like I said, we gave up less than 2 sacks per game. And it damn sure wasn't because Jarrett Stidham has Vick-esque elusiveness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This entire board will agree to that. But the fact remains that he was facing duress on most snaps that required him to do anything but throw a screen to Ryan Davis. Stidham wouldn't have been so skittish if he didn't almost die vs Clemson in 2017 or had time to complete a 3 step drop without Kaleb Kim being in his lap this past season. There's a reason he looked like that and it was our own damn coach that allowed him to get like that rather than give him some options underneath vs Clemson to allow him to make some plays and gain some confidence in the face of pressure. To compound issues, the staff never was able to coach this timidness out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
