Fromm doesn’t have anyone to catch the high throws like he did with Wims.

Fromm has regressed in accuracy on his back shoulder passes.

Fromm is overthrowing streaking open receivers at about the same rate as last year.

The first 2 were what he did well last year. The first is non existent right now because he doesn’t have a Wims type. The second is all him. He has lost a lot of accuracy on the back shoulder pass for whatever reason. In between he is throwing crossing patterns and check downs at receivers feet or behind them a bit. And then sometimes he makes some solid throws. He is just very inconsistent right now. Sophomore slump maybe.

We will learn a lot more on Saturday.

How was the cast different from what Fromm had last year? We returned almost the entire Oline, the key pieces at WR.

You mean similarly to what you want to do with Fields?
Either way it doesn't change how he played. And, he didn't play that well his sophomore season, either. He did okay, but Ole Miss fans were ready for Ta'amu, and Ta'amu took over iirc.

Yet you somehow think this is a great situation?

We lost a NFL OT, starting RG is injured and we have a new RT. As much as I like our RBs, they are not as good as Chubb and Michel.
