re: Missouri 0 @ Georgia 27 Final - ESPN

I just wanted one damn game where we capitalize and put some plays in the endzone. Cager going down is freaking gigantic.

Why is that?

Because it's like you aren't looking at anything but what Fromm is doing. He was dropping dimes to start the game but as soon as our receivers started getting covered up, Fromm has to try to throw it perfectly so that only his guys have a shot at it. We aren't getting separation and the routes aren't good.

Why do you think Cager is our leading receiver? Miami fans are wondering why he looks like a stud with us. It's because he's got experience and knows what he's doing. Our young guys have a lot of promise in them but they are rough around the edges.

Fromm shouldn't need to make perfect throws every time he drops back. He should be able to trust his receivers to make catches, like Cager has.

You cannot convince me that Robertson is never open. Our WR room is not bottom 3 in the SEC like it looks right now. Great QBs make receivers.

He's had open receivers, and he hasn't gotten them the ball. He's had Robertson open and hasn't gotten him the ball. He had Jackson for a TD and overthrew him. He had Swift 10 yards in front of him wide open for a TD and forced it to a covered TE. This is who Fromm is. If Fromm just makes those two passes, we're up 21-0 at least and nobody is complaining much about the offense.

There are ways to scheme receivers open. LSU has proved that. Brady put on a clinic today.

Mecole is finding success. But he got so lucky with Reid in KC.

Wish he’d had stayed.

It's not that he isn't open. It's that he isn't open when Fromm looks at him during his progression. A QB can't see every player on the field at the exact same time. If Fromm had 5 seconds to throw the ball every time, he might be able to get through his progressions and then just look for an open man, and when you have enough time, someone gets open. But Fromm doesn't have that luxury on most plays, so he goes through his progressions and throws it to the one who (when he looks at them) is open or who has the best shot of coming down with it.

Great WRs make QBs. A pocket passing QB that has no one to throw to is ineffective. Again I ask, why do you think Fromm looks so good throwing to Cager compared to everyone else? Is it that Fromm has massive brain farts when he sees a number other than 15?

Fromm has been sacked 5 times all season. 3 in one game. He has as much time as any QB in the country.

That’s a little disingenuous. It was a low snap and he was under heavy pressure

Low snap my arse. He handled it fine. He just never even checked down to see it. It should have been an easy pitch and catch. Swift was standing right in front of him, right in his throwing line of sight. There is always an excuse from you guys on every missed play like that. It's always someone else's fault.

I didn’t say his stats were the same. They just are similar type players. Very cerebral, love the back shoulder throw, etc. Similar size and skill set. AM had the benefit of playing in Bobos offense.
