There is so much going on for a QB in a game that most here have no idea how Carney is doing in any of that in practice.

Sure we can see that Collins had made some poor decisions and poor throws.  While also ignoring its not nearly bad at the rate some here would make it sound.

say we have 80 plays.  40 runs 40 passes.   We don't know how many of the plays were runs vs passes that got called or mis-called by the QB.   Maybe Collins made the correct check in 40 of them and Carney in practice is doing it right 50% of the time?  We don't know how well he reads D even if he does throw better?

The assumption that Collins is locking on WR may or may not be correct because we don't really know the plays at all.. Everyone can see when a QB looks one way and then rotates his head to throw another direction and people say look how well he is going thru progressions.  But not all progressions are changing zones, some are changing levels.  Maybe he is making the correct reads 75% 90% who knows. Coaches know.

The poor throws for sure.  They are not all created equal.  You can make the correct throw and throw it poorly, or you can make the wrong throw, throw it well and get picked.  At SMU we some of each. 22-45 is not good.  Needs to make 8-10 more complete.  But to think that can't happen with a few more weeks or practice is naive.  He needs to relax and let the game slow down.   Maybe it never does. two games is a small sample size.
