Message: [QUOTE="Millhouse, post: 424524, member: 78"] Here's my hope for the offense next year. I swear this isn't to take a thing away from our seniors. I think QBs are more prepared at every level. Guys are more ready to play going from college to NFL and guys are more ready to play going from high school to the NFL. We think that Broyld is kinda raw but it wouldn't have been that long ago that we would've been pretty blown away by his high school passing numbers alone. And Allen sounds like he is very well prepared to throw the ball in college. It's much less of a crap shoot finding qbs now that so many high schools spread it out and throw. I'd love to know the trend of qb ratings for freshman or sophomore first year starters. I suspect that it's going up over time. We lose a lot of talent and experience but Marrone and Hackett keep gaining experience. The line should still be good and the backs will only be better. Alot of the gaudiest passing numbers came early this year so at the end of the year when we look at the averages of the offense, a lot of it came early when the offense was very different. The second half of the year when the team was at its best, we threw less than 30 times a good amount of the time. This team actually consistently hit's Pasqualoni's 200 rushing 200 passing goals, and really bumps it up to 250-250 which is unbelievable. Maybe next year falls back to a 425 offense heavy on running but that's damn good. Won't be near the top of the country but if half of it comes on the ground, those yards are worth more. (I'd love to figure out how much more. I might do some amateur regressions this spring to try to figure out how much a rushing yard is worth vs a passing yard. kinda like trying to figure out how much a walk is worth vs a single in baseball. i'll try to be transparent about it so that people can check and correct the work) as usual i'm all over the place and i can hear a 1 year old clacking the pacifier on the crib rails like an inmate with a tin cup so i'll end this grotto length screed here.
