Trying to think of what they were.
The 99 yarder to Cooper
The checkdown to Henry
The screen to Cooper vs UT
The screen to Cooper vs Oklahoma
The deep ball to White vs Oklahoma
The other deep ball to White vs Oklahoma
The Flea Flicker to White vs A&M
The screen to KB7 vs A&M
The slant to Norwood vs Chattanooga (I think that's right)
The slant to OJ Howard vs LSU
I think that is all of them. That is 10, the only one I'm not sure about is the Norwood play vs Chattanooga. I know he had one to Norwood, but I don't know if that was it or not.

Flea flicker to KB7 vs A&M 2012?

I know last year was disappointing but thinking about those plays brought a smile to my face. I had a blast last season

This is why I hate the passing yards stat for QBs.

The slant to Howard was a great play by McCarron, are you kidding me?

Sure, it was a great pass, but then Howard did the rest of the work by running an extra 40 yards or so. The actual pass was only 10 yards downfield.

He audibled and checked to it? QB's make the play with their mind before they make it with their arm or their feet.
That is why guy whose won nothing of significance but happens to have a strong arm (Bortles) is going early but AJ will go later, because the NFL is retarded for the most part when they draft their QBs. They go for the "strongest" arm when that guy often has rocks for brains. Once a guy like Murray or McCarron get to the point they can make all the throws then extra arm strength is just a wasted stat.

A big part of the reason he was able to do that is because AJ recognized the coverage and saw that OJ would have a lot of room to run on the slant.

It was still a 10 yard pass and OJ had to outrun either a safety or a corner that had a great angle on him.

So you are saying that AJ didnt deserve those stats?

So do you believe that assists shouldnt count as a stat in basketball?

I've know Pville for a long time and he is a friend but that is a dumb way to count football stats. Basically whistle to whistle stats are the only fair honest way to do it.
A 50 yard pass is a 50 yard pass whether its a screen, a slat, a flare, a stick, a box, a go, or a fade.

One person person gives the ball to another, and the person giving the ball gets a significant stat out of it.

And you get a very significant stat out of it.

And you get a very significant stat out of it.
ETA: I feel that giving the QB 70 yards and a TD for throwing a screen pass doesn't show what actually happened. I would rather look at the stat line and see the QB went 15-25 with 125 yards and the WRs combined for 225 yards and 3 TDs. It shows me a better representation of what actually happened in the game.

Using your logic a receiver should not get yardage credit for catching a pass that a QB threw 50 yards in the air. Is that what you also meant?

Except the receiver actually had to run those 50 yards and catch the ball.
