Riley's best QB's have been seniors. Big shock
Armstrong and the coaches took blame equally in the piece.
A quarterback who wasn't recruited by the staff learning a pro style system coming from a run based spread system.
I just don't see how you can say he wasn't being coached well enough when he had his best statistical passing season by far. I don't have to look up the stats.
If we had a senior QB who'd been in Riley's system for four years, who he recruited, would be in the heisman discussion right now. I can say that with zero doubt.
Well I do have to look up stats.
He went from .53 to 54%.
He went from 12 INT's to 16 INT's
He only threw for 161 more yards than last season.
Of course he passed for more yards, he threw 38 more passes.
Those numbers are NOT a "by far" increase by any stretch of the imagination. If anything they are de minimis. The only stat that had a "by far" change was the number of INT's. They increased 33%
Nothing in those stats indicate personal quarterback technique training. If anything it points to "Here's the playbook kid".
Again, where does Tommy say he was being taught personal techniques yet refused to accept it?
