We had a split on the matter. Some said he would be just fine. Others were adamant that losing:
- 1st round LT
- 1st round WR
- Mackey Award finalist TE
- The programs all-time leading rusher
would hurt his production.
Well, here we are 4 games in -
Average pass defense faced: 91st
He's thrown for:
1,094 yards
5 TDs
1 INT
on 140 attempts with 61% completion rate.
In 2014, over the first 4 games -
Average pass defense faced: 32nd
He threw for:
1,052 yards
10 TDs
7 INTs
on 117 attempts with a 62% completion rate.
So..despite facing a noticeably easier group of pass defenses -
Completion %: Worse
Touchdowns: Worse
Yards Per Att: Worse
Interceptions: Better
He's matured and learned to protect the football, but that's about it. He does not have the weapons this year to really prove anything. He just went an entire game against a horrible mid-major defense without a TD. I don't really see the explosive playmakers on the outside for him. They disappeared tonight when a subpar secondary got physical with them.
