What was up with Bo’s rainbow throws today?

I have never seen him throw like that before. Very odd. One of those throws was so high that it looked Roberson lost the ball in the lights.

When I doubt, its probably Bobo's fault

Definitely strange

Bo has improved. I'll give him some kudos on the work he put in during the off-season. He just doesn't have the deep pass accuracy. We also don't have a go to WR that can make a jump ball.

He hasn't done it in his previous 2 year and stopped doing it after the first few.. either its something he was trying on his own or was coached to do. I hope one of the team reporters ask about it honestly.

In the past he always way over threw WRs deep. I guess he is trying to give the WRs a chance, but honestly they looked surprised.

Those deep throws looked ridiculous. I understand giving your guy time to run under it but it seemed awkward to me

Very awkward and we don't have any WR's that are 'jump ball' specialists. His deep passes tonight were horrible.

He’s done it all year and so did TJ last weekend on the deep ball so must be coaching. 1 should have been an easy TD the other was poorly thrown early in the game with light pressure

Yea, I asked that question last night. Damn rainbows.

On the very first drive of the game number 0 got behind everybody and he threw it out of the ez. Would have changed the whole game. There were a few other times he had wide open receivers too. And the 4th down was not even a fade. he just threw it rediculously and made it look like.

Team loss. WR do not look SEC caliber. With SEth and Flash we win the game. Seemed like we had a few drops. As much on receivers as Bo. Now the fade may have been all Bo. Should have thrown to Tank. Bobo did call a pass play.

I don't mind a pass run play called in that situation with Bo being very agile...
...but I would have rather him either run an option with Tank or thrown a screen to Tank and just let Tank do his thing one on one with a DB...I'll take that chance over a throw to our WRs...

In Bo's defense, he isn't a passing QB. He is a duel threat. Hard to ask a guy to be Tom Brady when he doesn't posses the skills. I could see him doing well in a hybrid west coast offense where he uses his mobility to compete short to mid-range timing routes. He will never hit a guy 40 yards down field consistently. And in year 3, we shouldn't ask him to.

Noticed it too. Hadn't seen him do that before. I bet in practice he could hit the opening of a trash can from 40 yards away, but in live game action, it takes too long for the ball to get to the receiver.

I was coming here to post this exact question. The first one I chalked up to nerves. But then like 3-4 more. Wtf

Bo got hit and landed on this throwing shoulder early in the game. Maybe that affected his long balls. But still, he's not great throwing deep balls anyways.

It's so simple .... Yet the blindness shades your eyes.
We don't have a deep ball threat at receiver. In order to stretch out the defense you have to air the ball for the chance to have a receiver time to see and catch the ball. Bullets are interceptions in long distance traffic.
It's designed and used due to the lack of experience and talent.
Thank You Gus. .
