He’s so good at showing up for 1 or 2 decent catches early in a game and then *poof* it’s like he was never there

He didn't seem to have that problem at Cal.

I thought Robertson would lead us in catches (I tabbed Cager for most TDs, 3rd and 4th down conversions).

He quits on routes. Seen him do it more than once recently.

Fromm targets him several times a game. Just not connecting, regardless of whose fault it is (fromm, coley, drob).

He's due for a big play.

No bigger miss than the early bomb vs Florida when Robertson toasted the gator and Fromm short armed it.

Wonder if he is ever the primary option on a play. Seems like with our predictable offense it’s always Cager first.

No kidding. He hits him in stride and it’s 6.


Something worth noting about Fromm is he’s throwing off his back foot ALOT this year... especially for someone with all day to throw.

Yep, his mechanics aren't good too often and that spinning the ball habit is not good in terms of ball security.

Can you tell me what you personally think is wrong with his mechanics too often?

Fromm seems to have a problem connecting with the smaller, faster receivers for the most part.

While he has a great connection with the bigger possession dudes.

There were some miscues with Mecole last year. He has to improve in that area cause the NFL is stocked with those guys

Just how could it possibly be Coleys fault if Fromm throws a bad pass or Robinson runs a bad route? Why even include coley in your comment?

Looked like on that play he saw cover 2 Man under. 16 came out of the slot and ran a 9 route. He had a step on the defender, but it looked like Fromm wanted to throw back shoulder based on where the ball went. The safety was able to get an angle on the ball. 16 had the defender turned, so I can see why Fromm read it that way, but Fromm missed the safety or at least misjudged his angle. 16 didn’t appear to be expecting back shoulder. Hard for us to know what the read was on that play. The back shoulder is a great and safe throw, especially when you get man coverage and the defender’s back turned. Yet, I think we Are almost getting too cute with that strategy.

Schemes and routes and whatnot. I was trying to make a non-partisan comment. I don't think Coley has much to do with it.

He went to the Manning Camp in the offseason. Every one of our QBs that goes to that crap comes back worse. Payton Manning is sabotaging our QBs

If Cager is the primary on every play then something is bad wrong.

I have seen a couple of times where Fromm forces the ball into tighter coverage to Cager and ignore a more open receiver. The most notable was the two point conversion against Florida. Cook was wide open. It was complete, but I thought it odd at the time.

Just a guess, but probably Fromm feels most comfortable that Cager will make the grab and has less confidence in the other receivers. It just seems Cager/Fromm have great communication going and Fromm wants to make sure the catch is made. That's fine until they miss in a crucial situation.

This is not necessarily intended to be a jab at Fromm, just an observation. I honestly think Fromm is trying to go to the receiver he feels most comfortable with. It's not overly unusual for a QB to look for his "favorite" or most reliable receiver first.

In fairness, I have seen several QBs do the same thing. It's a habit they get into to try to find the laces on the football after a snap. I think the announcers make too much of it, but it could cost him in the NFL if he needs a quick release.

Actually it's already been posted by another poster in this forum. Fromm too often throws off his back foot when there is seemingly little pressure and at times he doesn't step into his throws causing those passes to not have enough zip on them. Case in point was in the last game with Missouri, the soft throw to the wide-open TE in the endzone which allowed the defender to recover and break up the pass.
