Okay, if you want to be pedantic about it, sure, he had a handful of nice deep shots over the course of 15 games. However, he was not consistent enough to force any defense to respect those routes.
How many QBs out there are connecting with many deep balls...especially with no running game that forces safeties into the box? How many cover 1 or cover 0 looks did Ty get...where he also got time? Id wager it being either zero or close to it

Agreed, I guess this shows the lack of confidence in Mack to get it done against high level competition.
I spent last year demanding Milroe be benched. He was horrible and cost us a CFP birth.
The entire time the coaches were watching Ty who himself said he wasn't ready last year.
I agree that given a quality alternative Ty should've been benched down the stretch. Was Keelon ready as a TF? He couldn't even beat out Austin.
Was Austin ready? Dude was sending rockets into the grass on throws to the flat against E IL and IU. He looked like Joe Milton to me in the snaps I've seen and I dont mean that as a complement.
Bottom line Im not convinced we had a replacement ready to roll and the coaches probably figured if Ty could get a little healthier he gave us our best shot to continue to win as we were a top 5 team until the loss against OU.

Did you watch any games last year?
After UGA exposed us that second half most teams played their safeties so far inside the box we usually could see all 11 defenders every 1st and 2nd down and sometimes 3rd.

You're wasting your time man. A lot of posters on here may watch games religiously but they have no idea what they're actually seeing.

That's true Scotty. Look at Carson Beck. He's not great at the deep ball either. In the game against Ole Miss, he had the receiver wide open, all day to throw, and still almost missed it on an underthrow.
I seemed to recall him doing the same thing against us in 2024.

Mad respect for his toughness but why was he playing? Sorry but there is toughness and then there is stupidity.
I am not saying Mack was better or worse but damn, At what point does a coach not step in and say, “son, you’re a tough son of bitch, but you’re not helping your team.”
It would be shortly thereafter said coach grew a pair of balls and acted like a leader. Apparently, we don't have anyone like that on our staff.
