I think part of the issue is his long windup.  It just takes longer for the pass to get out and get there.  The pass has to be zipped to make up for the windup.  On certain deep routes, that works well.  On others, once he begins that windup, the safeties can react.  I am not sure if/how you fix that.

Imaleava has stunk for UCLA this year.  Against PSU, he ran for 100+ yards.  Separately... his best QBR game of the season and also going back to last year.  He only ran for 30 yards a game last year.  If you have to devote a LB to spying on the QB, that might free up someone else somewhere else.  Maybe it would help our offense to at least try that before giving up on Ricky?

I also think it makes sense to get Carney some work.  You do not have to make someone a starter to get pass attempts here and there.  The way Marrone used Nassib in 2009.  SMU got their backup QB in to run a trick play and throw a pass.  Why have we not tried a single explosive offensive trick play all year???  If not SMU, then when?  Our trick plays have been an onside kick, 2 Villari plays, and not kicking gimme FGs/XPs too early in games.
