AR's Season Completion Percentage Accuracy

This is the alpha and omega of AR.

If he can get to 60+, he's NFL gold.

I am rooting.

I doubt.

 

For every drop another pass is caught. It's all part of the concept called averages

 

Not enough to raise 33% to 70%.

 

The law of averages isn't limited to a single game.

 

I’m still not buying it and any high quality scout in the NFL knows better. His talent is undeniable but to say he is raw is vast understatement. A team will need to show patience which is not common these days in the NFL. I really do hope he can piece it all together and will root like crazy for him but his profile screams bust if taken in round one.

 

CBN doesn’t run a high percentage passing offense.

ARs inconsistency + weak receivers pushed it down into bad territory… but the ceiling for this offense isn’t a “great” completion percentage

 

Add to that an offensive line that was decent at run blocking, weak at pass protection. Just about any other qb probably would have had a record number of sacks.

 

O

Exactly what talent do you speak of? This is not meant to be mean not at all, other than gifted physically, what talent do you speak of? Reading defense? completions? Leadership? Running?. He does have arm strength but that alone is meaningless without the ability to read defense, throw touch passes and complete a higher percentage of passes.

 

He has been a starter or primary backup in 5 of 6 years of playing QB. He has had a personal QB coach for at least 5 years.

He is who he is. It's on him. No one else.

 

I am sure AR's 65% on-target percentage had nothing to do with it. It doesn't leave much room to complete higher percentages when your qb can't even deliver the ball where it can be caught by your receiver 35% of the time. That's extraordinarily low on target %.

These data points do not support your hypothesis the offense cannot have high completion %. I am not sure what you are basing it on except as a last ditch hope to explain ARs inaccuracy, which is well accepted at this point.

What? I think I saw more clean pockets this year than the last 2 combined. You aren't going to get all day in the SEC. I think line play was a major improvement in all phases. Granted, they didn't come to play vs Vandy and lost one-on-ones way too much in that one.

There were also times AR would bolt from the pocket for no reason, which will happen with any inexperienced qb.

 

More of a future in being a running back and a receiver. Will be a great game changer and play maker if he goes to those positions.

 

Bull hockey. Napier's offense didn't cause AR to be unable to read the field, to throw to the wrong receiver, to miss wide open receivers, and to throw the balls into the stands.

I was super excited about the guy coming into this season, but then I saw what I saw. As I posted earlier, if he succeeds, good for him, and good for us. But I do not see it.

 

You thougt you saw clean pockets because AR was always able to shake the first guy in

 

Offensive line played well this year. Pass protection too. Let’s not make up stuff

 

You’ll never convince me that AR didn’t look like a bad hs qb at times. That fsu game, how many did he miss in a row. It seemed like he didn’t have a completion for about half a game at one point. Receivers aren’t the reason either. Watch the game and tell me he wasn’t completely struggling .

 

We'll just agree to disagree. I hope to see if the completion percentage goes up with NFL level receivers and linemen.

 

We all want him to be super bowl mvp. My checkbook says not a chance.
