Pickett was having a great year this year and led the country in passing yards. He would have annihilated us yesterday. We got really lucky he didn't play because Old Yellen put 300 on us and missed a bunch of wide open receivers, and posed zero threat running the ball unlike Pickett. Injuries are part of football though, but we need to thank the lucky stars Pickett didn't play yesterday.
Eh, we’re just going to have to disagree on that one. He’s been over 300 yards once this year and it took him 40 attempts to even get there. He probably scrambles and makes more plays with his feet because Yellen was a statute back there. His numbers are better this year because Addison emerged quickly and Whipple has him throwing the ball around a lot more, I’m not sure that game is massively different with him in there. Our offense stunk but our defense didn’t give up much. Yellen was 22/46 and we completely shut down their run game.
Yeah, we'll disagree huge on the massiveness of Pickett not playing. He's WAY better than Yellen with a ton of experience. He was the 2nd best QB in the ACC this year, and I'm not sure what the 300 yards once stat means when he was leading the country in passing yards.
No fans are saying this tho
His stats were slightly inflated because he’d been throwing the ball close upwards of 35 times per game. His y/pa doesn’t match up with the total yards in terms of impressive. Clearly he’s a big upgrade over Yellen but I don’t think that he swings that game in a massive way. The line was already set at -10 before Vegas got word that he wasn’t playing. Total pass yardage is really his only great stat. If we’re calling him the second best QB in the ACC then that says more about the league this year than Kenny.
I like King and think he's a great kid and leader but some of y'all rode his jock so hard this off season that it's hard for y'all to get off and critique him. He's played horrible the last 2 games, his 2 worst games ever back to back, he even said it out of his own mouth and y'all still refuse to believe it. Yall blame everybody but him lmao. Does that mean he won't improve and play better? No, but the truth is the truth. I'm pulling for him and still have faith in him tho
Why wouldn't he? Unless he's giving football up
Houston has nothing to do with here. How was the defenses he faced there vs here? Plus he chose to come here for this offense
You should know by now that our depth chart isn't a reliable source for which players are better, c'mon now lol. With these coaches, I wouldn't be surprised if TVD is the best QB we have currently lol
This
There's a difference between criticizing poor play and being a complete ******* idiot. Also our WRs are literal garbage which doesn't help him. Without any deep threat the offense suffers a lot. And given none of our WRs are capable of making a play, it forces King to have to try to do it all. Thats not good for any QB.
King is a senior, Why are people talking about him coming back?
Because everyone gets a free year of eligibility this year due to Covid
