Message: [QUOTE="Trueblue25, post: 3640050, member: 3410"] *cracks another* GOODNESS. I thought last category hurt. [B][SIZE=26px]Passing[/SIZE][/B] [SIZE=15px]Highest Board prediction for total yards passing after 11: DeVito[/SIZE] [SIZE=15px]3,500. Lowest: DeVito 2,533 *Watches train go off the rails*[/SIZE] We had the perfect storm for a disappointing passing season. This is an area we need to be realistic with. We had multiple returning OL injuries going into week 1, including a denied waiver for Bleich to contribute in 2020. Though he was not ready to play anyways, this was an early indicator the gods that be were working against us. As seen in 2019, we cannot expect our quarterback to succeed with a tattered line. Add in a new OC, two rb opt outs, and a questionable at best recruiting performance at WR by the staff and here we are. Our offense through the first two games was a disaster. Tommy would go on to get hurt, as is becoming standard for our QB’s, and Rex/Jacobian would step in and do their best. [SIZE=22px][B]Passing Yards Through 5:[/B][/SIZE] Actual: DeVito 593 Closest Guess: DeVito 1,100 [SIZE=22px][B]*throws up*[/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=15px]This hurts, but not as much as the 11 game predictions. We really all need to take a look in the mirror. This award goes to our friend and avid Brian Kelly enthusiast [USER=6563]FloridaFan[/USER] . We will make this award extra shiny and pretty, so everybody can hopefully stare at it and forget just how much of a dumpster fire our passing predictions were. Congratulations sir.[/SIZE] [SIZE=22px][B]Through 11 Games:[/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=15px]I think we can all agree, unfortunately nobody wins and award here. As Tommy went down to injury, Rex and Jacobian did the best they could to fill in and keep this team afloat. Jacobian ended up hurt as well, and Rex likely closed the door (tbd) on his Orange career with an admirable performance in 2020 with moments of excitement including deep ball scores to Taj and Johnson. I hope Rex comes back, he’s a good teammate and by all accounts an irreplaceable personality that keeps morale high. Actual: Culpepper 1,028.[/SIZE] [SIZE=22px][B]TD LEADER PASSING:[/B][/SIZE] [SIZE=15px]*grabs a shovel* I’m just going to bury both these awards. Again, no one even got the player right. It cannot be said board predictions, or optimism about TD in 2020 were wrong. The kid fought and got hurt doing his best under sub-optimal circumstances. We are fortunate that he’s returning healthy and re-energized to lead us again. Actual: Rex 9 To be continued..[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
