re: Ole Miss Fans, talk to me about your football team this year

Shhhh....don't screw up the narrative. In the Vandy game, he only came in to run the ball a few times and didn't throw any passes. I did break down the stats vs SEC opponents in my post up above.

My bad. His biggest statistical games were against cupcakes.

After putting up gaudy numbers against Arkansas, Kentucky, and Louisiana (non-conference), he was terrible against A&M and not much better against State.

He played well against LSU for a half, yes. Probably would've been different if they had film on him and prepared for him as the starter.

I'm not saying he's terrible. But he's nothing special.

Well which one is it? That's not a description of a serviceable qb

serv·ice·a·ble
adjective
fulfilling its function adequately; usable.




He can make all the throws. He's athletic. He's serviceable.

TF outta here with this nonsense.

"When kept clean?" Is that a thing? I'm sure having a ridiculous receiving corps making diving one handed catches had a little bit to do with it too.

What was his QBR his last two games? I'll hang up and listen.

Good move. You're far too involved in a thread that has nothing to do with the team that you follow.

Or, you know, you could just answer the question.

If our linebackers improve, Ole Miss will be a very good team. If the linebackers don't improve, Ole Miss could be one of the worst teams in the conference. Last year they overran the play a lot or were out of place, and when they didn't, they weren't as physical as they needed to be. Ole Miss should be a complete SEC upper caliber team if the LB's improve. They have good players on the defensive line and the defensive backs are good. The offense should be more than adequate to compete with the better teams in the SEC. Of course, as with any team except maybe Georgia or Alabama, injuries could determine how well they play.

116.1 & 160.7

QBR? Try again. Hint: It's not good.

I know Ole Miss fans rustle easily, but because I called your QB serviceable? Was I supposed to say he's the next Eli? Heaven forbid I'd like to see him play a full SEC schedule first.

By the way, the answer to the question was 21.1 & 67.2.

After putting up gaudy numbers against Arkansas, Kentucky, and Louisiana (non-conference), he was terrible against A&M and not much better against State.

---

"Terrible against A&M" - 189 yards, 2 TD's, 1 INT.
"Not much better against State" - 247 yards, 2 TD's, 1 INT.

So, what you're saying is even on Ta'amu's worst day against an SEC team (189 yards), he's still better than Fitz's best day against an SEC team (180 yards).

quote:

What does that mean for Fitz. He’s athletic but can’t make all the throws.

---

With Fitz, it's not even about making "all the throws" - it's about making even the basic ones. It's common knowledge that Fitz is a horrendous passer. But when you break his numbers down further, then it's actually worse than most folks think.

There are three stats that really tell how poor of a QB Fitz is (conference ranking among qualified QBs):
Passer Rating - 117.6 (13)
Yards Per Attempt - 6.2 (14)
Completion Percentage - 55.6 (13)

Think about those numbers. Even though he only average 6.2 yards per pass, he had a 55.6% completion percentage. Let's compare that to the "serviceable" Ta'amu:
Passer Rating: 164.5 (2)
Yards Per Attempt: 9.7 (1)
Completion Percentage: 66.5 (T1)

quote:

---

"Terrible against A&M" - 189 yards, 2 TD's, 1 INT.
"Not much better against State" - 247 yards, 2 TD's, 1 INT.

I see you're playing the whole "I will only post some misleading stats and hope nobody digs any deeper and sees that I am full of shite" game.

I never said anything about Fitz. This thread has nothing to do with him. You're doing what ole miss fans do....deflect.

Fitz would be less than serviceable in your offense because he is a different kind of QB.

NOT A TROLL QUESTION: when was the last RB that Ole Miss fans were thrilled about? Was it Deuce? Can't remember a running back for OM that scared me. Again, not flaming, just curious from a fan's perspective.
