I don't disagree - he wasn't a very good passer at all and that doesn't change. But he was a very above average runner for the position, which should not be just thrown out the window, either.

How much each is weighted, I don't know. Don't have the formula they use.

I think he can improve his passer rating based on a few things:

1) Bubble screens that go for more than 1-3 yards. That will be helped by not having Chris Clark, all 95 lbs. of him, lead blocking.
2) Catchable balls/drops - there were a number of TDs that were dropped, including the wheel route vs. Minnesota. TD passes help passer rating a lot.
3) Better players. Not sure if the true frosh will have an immediate impact, but with Broyld/Cornelius/Estime having now one full year of decent playing time, that is going to help them a lot. Not to mention possibly adding Funderburk to the mix full-time this year and 1 or 2 of the newcomers.

I am an unabashed Hunt fan, obviously. I think Eduoard has much more upside (not completely sold that Kimble/Wilson do, to be honest). Very much looking forward to his era beginning. But he might weigh less than Chris Clark at this point and isn't ready. Might not be ready for two years. Which should be fine if Hunt improves the way a lot of players do from sophomore to junior year.
