This is why you play Shrader…

[SUFan44]

He isn’t perfect but he gives you a chance.

I mean he also cost us the game at points too with the offense being almost completely inept in the second half. But he does have good moments

No, the play calling did

 

[zjscuse]

I hope the more comfortable he gets the better these throws will become

He went 6/15 and 75 yards. Thats not going to cut it against ACC

It worked in 03 it'll work in 21

21 isnt 03. we arent in the big east anymore

 

[OrangeMojo]

6-15 passing for 77 yards

Against a defense selling out to stop the run.

If we gave the ball to Tuck 30 times against Rutty instead of 13… do you think it makes a difference in the outcome?

Yes

 

[CanadianSU]

I know he had some toss ups but honestly he did a good job protecting the ball when he ran it.

One thing he didn't do..turn the ball over. We can't do that. He will have to pass better as the season goes on.

 

[Scooch]

We have two very, very, very flawed QBs. There’s not much more to it than that.

I disagree. I think there is a chance that we have 4 flawed QB's. But time will tell.

 

[sdhall01]

The dude can’t complete a forward pass. I’m happy we won, but we need to figure out whether we have a WB that can both pass the ball AND make decisions.

 

[SUFan44]

He’s our modern day RJ Anderson. Tucker is Mungro. Our D doesn’t have a Freeney but collectively might be just as good. 2001 we won 10 games and beat an SEC team that was pretty decent. ACC is down. If the offensive coordinator could come up with a game plan, we could win 7-10 games. As is, we should win 6 minimum.

 

[FloridaFan]

I may be wrong but did the announcers say we didn’t complete a forward pass more then 10 yards downfield?

 

[McNabb2Brominski]

Yeah, Shrader’s inability to throw the ball is a problem. Devito certainly would’ve put up a better stat line in the passing game but probably wouldn’t have got those rushing TDs that Shrader got. Shrader is much more of a red zone threat than Devito, but we need to be able to throw the ball.

 

[PhatOrange]

6/15 for 77 and he missed a lot of open guys. It’s just not gonna cut it in conference. Flood the box to stop Tucker you win going away.

He’s Rex except he has a running game

TD Can hand it to Tucker 31 times just the same

At the same time thougu would he have not made those deep throws? We cant tell so it’s pointless to argue but it’s not apples to apples there

I said it in the game thread. Dude is RJ Anderson reincarnated. Just hand the ball to the All-American, shake off a half dozen tacklers every game, hit a couple of passes to keep the defense honest, and let Tony White do the rest. I want to party like it's 2001.

 

[TheCusian]

Tommy will have a say when all is said and done. BUT - I thought Shrader made some plays and didn’t lose us the game. That’s something to build on.

I don’t agree. Shrader needs to be better but it’s not even close to the same.

Said it in the post above - it feels a lot like 2001 team. ACC is bad and sets up nicely to win some games with this model.

Shrader handled the high snaps well, too. The center needs to work on that, bad snaps mess up timing. Thankfully, Shrader handled most of them well.
