Keep in mind that Mazzone's offense typically involves quite a few relatively easy short throws to RBs and screens to WRs. Those are uncontested and pretty easy to make, almost running plays. He is known for this kind of short passing game on the perimeter, trying to get it in the hands of playmakers in space.
So what is Mazzone's track record with QBs, anyway?
Rosen threw for about 60% last year for UCLA in 2015.
LINK
Hundley threw for 69% the year before.
LINK
It was was 67% in 2013.
LINK
It was was 67% in 2012.
LINK
At Arizona State in 2011, 63%.
LINK
At Arizona State in 2010, a little over 60% between 2 QBs.
LINK
Interesting that Hundley was the more accurate QB, based on completion percentages approaching 70%. I never viewed him as exactly a pinpointed passer, just as a pretty good one.
I didn't do the math in those off the cuff examples to come up with an exact completion percentage. That's my fault. To rephrase it, I just think we need Knight to be efficient at QB, not setting records for TDs and yardage.
According to this, Knight threw for 59% in 2013 and 57% in 2014.

So Knight has been a little below where Mazzone's QBs have typically performed at UCLA and ASU in completion percentage. We'll see if that changes.

We just need a mature, game-manager type QB.
We get that, and our running game opens up, and our defense is able to pin their ears back more often.
Like you said, we don't need a Heisman candidate under center tearing it up every week.

My 19-32 is 59.4%. Make it 20-32 and we're at 62.5%. I think right around 60 is about right. With Mazzone's O and the talent we have at WR that should be about right.
Now we just need him to improve on his TD to INT ratio. A 2-1 or slightly better is what we should expect. Something like 28-12 is what I envision.
