No I am not saying we should just chunk the ball down the field with our eyes closed but, from what I have heard is that Kelly wont blink an eye and throw it into traffic if he thinks the big play is there. That would open up the running game. Ryan on the other hand is more predictable because if the WR isn't wide open he goes to the check down. Making him more predictable.


Let me ask you this would you rather.

A. Average 100 more yards of total offense and have 4 or 5 more interceptions in the season.
or
B. Have 100 less yards of total offense a game and have 4 or 5 less Interceptions a year.

I think with our D you have to go with more offense and yes I don't know if we would have more yardage with Kelly than with Ryan. IMHO we would do better with Kelly that is all I am saying.

Or turn the ball over.

I'm tired of a turnover prone quarterback. Bo had 23 turnovers in 2012, 15 in 2013, and 20 in 2014. Bo had 58 turnovers in the 39 games he started in Red and Blue.

I'd take consistency over Jekyll and Hyde QB play.

B.

Your parameters are a little wonky, however. Tossing out the outliers from 2014 (Mississippi State at 513.8 yards per game and Vanderbilt at 288.3), every SEC team averaged within 118 yards per game of one another.

You would have been better served asking me if I wanted the second best offense in the conference or second worst.

Agreed.

I just hope to have a solid running game.

At EMCC Bo was 53/14 td/int ration and Kelly was 47/8 w/ less talent (according to some). Not sure why everyone envisions Kelly throwing a lot of int's.
