I didn't watch the game live.. I was at the Northwestern vs Raines games trying to get a glimpse of future cane Michael Pinckney who looked really good. So I watch the game this morning and came a way pleased with Kayaa 's performance.


Breakdown: 12-22 177 2 tds and 2int
Kaaya through two interceptions and neither was his fault imo. The first was a deep ball to the corner of the endzone where waters had an opportunity to make a play and didn't. Waters did a terrible job of attacking the ball. You ask your QB to give your WR a chance and I feel he did just that. The second pick was a seem pass that was droped by Walford and landed into the hands of the defense. Kaaya once again gave his WR a chance to make a play and was let down. On top of that I counted about 5 or 6 drop passes. Now if you take away all the drop passes and the **** poor effort by Waters, Kaaya finishes the game with 17-22 with over 250 yards and 3 or 4 touchdowns.


I read some of the concerns about his arm strength. I have no concerns about Kaaya arm strength. I just thinking some of his throws are late because his timing his off due lack of experience and repetition. The more comfortable he feels as the starting QB the better he will look. It's only his second start and he miss the spring.



Majority of us wanted Kaaya to play, now let's not give up on the freshman after two games.

Will say it again, Kaaya is not the problem. He will be a good QB for us. Fans are calling for his head when Coley is the real problem and Kehoe's boys are not doing anything for him. Just turning 19 years old and being a true freshman is going to prevent him from not looking like Peyton Manning. The fans expectations of Kaaya are too high and his bashing is unnecessary. The reason his expectations are so high is because his head coach has lost this fan base and expect a lot out of a 4th year coach. For those that can't see that Kaaya isn't a true talent don't really get football. Coley's play calling will prevent Kaaya from reaching his complete potential so let's stop blaming a true freshman and continue to bash Coley, Al and Kehoe

no doubt kaaya will have some growing pains since he is a true freshman. However I believe he will get better each week.
 
He has NO arm, is dumber than Morris, and has zero mobility.

Slurpers gonna slurp. "Wait till 2015! Kaaya!"
 
I actually don't think the guy is going to be half bad. He's in an impossible situation. Even worse than what Kyle Wright was in. If the kid survives this year with his head in place, I think he will be a good one. He needs a real coordinator and QB coach.

I have no problem with BK. I just don't think RIGHT NOW he is as good as posters think he is. In time he will get better.
 
I think kaaya will be good but he's not ready yet.I hope Williams come back healthy and kaaya gets a year to learn the playbook and offense and comes back ready next year
 
He hopefully will be part of the solution, but also obvious he is part of the current problem. True freshman being forced to play too soon. Feel for the kid.
 
The best from Kayaa is to come. Unless he is paired with Golden/Corley for his whole career. If that happens he needs to focus on that degree.
 
Come on guys. It's two games. He's a freshmen. He's learning. He'll get better. He'll get stronger. And maybe (I said maybe) the team around him will improve. Let's not knock our quarterback yet. Give him a chance and don't rip him to shreds on this site. This is the most active and best put-together site. He could read this stuff. I understand about Golden/Coley but do't rip up Kaaya yet.

That's the key...will he end the season as Kayaa or Ramsey?

Exactly what I worried about, another debacle OL...another QB that might forever hear the pitter patter of DL feet about to crush him.

Out of all the early performers we've had under the last three coaches, he's looked the worst so far. Fundamentally he's also the most unsound and so far has shown the weakest arm as well. Who knows what the future holds, but something has changed with him. He looked far better mechanically, velocity on the ball, and tightness of his spiral in high school. If it's nerves, I get that and I hope that's what it is. What I hope it isn't is the coaches trying to change some perceived mechanical flaw and now he's just lost out there.

We'll see, but I expect we'll see him benched in the not so distant future. Edit: There's nothing wrong with that either. He was forced into a position he hasn't shown thus far that he's ready for.

I dont think most are blaming Kayaa. Even the unreasonable people realize he's a freshman. Playcalling is the problem.
 
He'll be the best we've had since Dorsey, and while thats not saying much, its saying something. He's gonna be fine. It might be he gets a little better week by week, it might be this year he takes some lumps, it might be Williams comes and takes over for him. But Im all in on Kaaya, and am actually encouraged by what I've seen. You have to factor in the circumstances, who would look good at 18 running this offenses behind this line?

Bunch of ******* idiots on this board man. Kids busting his *** and will get better. Arm looks fine when he throws outs, he just doesn't throw cannons every play. His confidence and timing will improve, hopefully the O-Line can keep him in one piece.
