Kaaya's deep ball throws...

[BigDikCane]

I swear he needs to work on that ****.. Dude is always overthrowing wrs on that ****

 

[marshallrc13]

If we had old Miami speed this would never happen!!!!

 

[kryptonite]

He doesn't look comfortable making any of his throws, I imagine the long ones just end up looking worse.

 

[Brandinho]

Watched the Richards overthrow a few times, I think that AR needs to run harder there off the line, but still Brad can't be overthrowing the FASTEST guy on the field.

 

[JimmyJohnsonsHair]

His accuracy in general has just been off this season. With that said, I'd still rather see us try to stretch the field a few more times a game than run a HB dive into a stacked front to begin every drive.

 

[BigDikCane]

When he throws it on a line its either over thrown or it sails out of bounds... When he puts to much air under it, he's either going to get picked off or get Richards hurt against good teams.

I was in the stadium and I sent a text to someone who was watching on TV: "Have the announcers wondered why we have run 20 plays and haven't thrown a pass beyond the line of scrimmage?" And that was literally true at that time.

Brad has definitely struggled to connect on the deep ball.

But whatever the reason, I still think we should be taking multiple shots like that down field each game. Even though Kaaya has been off, we still hit those shots sometimes. And all you need is a few.

****, I'd trade about 10 of our runs up the middle for 0-2 yards for bombs to AR without hesitation. And I bet we'd have a lot more yards and scores to show for it too.

After app state, people on here were sucking each other off in reaction to kayaa's deep throws.

Yes. All of this.

What I am seeing is distrust between the HC and QB. Why? No idea is Kaaya's shoulder worse than people know or does he not fit the system Richt wants to run? So what do you do if you are Richt? If you bench him all **** will break loose. If you play him it will give Richt heartburn. I saw Richt as animated as I have ever seen him talking to Kaaya when he threw into coverage. Again! I never seen Brad look off his first read on a play.

Bottomline Richt needs to get this fixed his job. I think he realizes (too late) if you want to be a play caller as HC you need a guy who can design a game plan and create mismatches. They have no one on the staff even close with experience to do that. It didn't work Richt as the CEO he can call plays but he needs a much better offensive staff.

Same. There is something not clicking between the two of them.

 

[jackedaround]

what about his -44 yards rushing? 112th in the nation

I met Kaaya when he was a high school recruit. Good kid, and I wish him much success!

But it's a pretty damning indictment when a QB's best trait is supposed to be accuracy, and he's not all that accurate with the balls that can make the most positive impact for his team.

Were the UNC receivers getting that much more separation than our guys were able to get, or was their QB just making better reads and putting the ball where it was supposed to be?

I haven't seen Kaaya throw a deep ball and hit a wr in stride yet...

I watched some highlights from last year and it was the same **** on deep balls.

Granted guys got open more in James Coley's offense, but Kayaa is the same mediocre QB.

don't understand this people more open thing.. the fsu game was very similar with the 2 tds (coley one on a great catch, and scott yac td), and UNC slapped us silly, the offense is the same

Both. UNCs route trees are 10xs more effective than Richts. And yes Trubinsky is more accurate and has more mobility than Kayaa (even Trubinsky missed some passes yesterday though -but they keep attacking so it's not as noticeable)

Just go pick some games from last year and watch em. Coley used the middle of the field more and challenged secondaries deep. Kayaa looked much more comfortable in his offense than Richts.

Worth noting is that Rashaun Scott and Herb Waters were both good WRs - we weren't lacking depth last year at WR.
