I’m one of the few who agrees that Roper has made progress this year. Our #1 playmaker went down early, #1 RB is out, not to mention we are still playing an OL that would barely cut it as a group of 5. Our coaches have us in position, the players have to execute better. Jake is still young and has started only over a seasons worth of games. With that said, his accuracy is off. He may be completing 62ish percent, but he’s missed many open targets and oft misses receivers in stride. It’s not all on him either, clearly remember him hitting Ortre in the numbers last week. Regardless, I give Roper a pass for one more year and see that our players haven’t executed what he has called this season as well. Blame that on youth or coaching, but it is what it is.

I agree with this, but I just hoped they haven't altered Jake's throwing motion too much because it's clear whatever coaching he has gotten on that hasn't worked well so far.

The miss to AJ on the wheel route appeared to have to do with touch. Another foot of air under the ball and AJ is gone, it did appear AJ slipped some too. I havn't went back and re watched the game but I know on passes earlier in the season all they needed was a bit more air under them. Maybe that is why they are saying he's too amped up or whatever because he sees the open guy and slings it instead of tossing it.
What I wouldn't give for another Damiere Byrd type of player that was impossible to overthrow because of his speed.

Roper's play calling improved when we played Arkansas and Vandy. Despite Mason being a defensive expert, that Vandy D isn't great. Roper did do a little better against Georgia, but the same shite is still there. The runs up the middle that didn't work at A&M, and play calling that takes the offense out of its rhythm haven't gone away.
