Message: [QUOTE="Fjoinkay, post: 35059, member: 604"] What's interesting to me is that the offense this year is scoring about the same amount of points per game as it did in 2009 and 2010 and the same goes for yards per game. I do believe we could see improvement for a number of reasons, but I don't have time to go into that right now. Nassib is a solid college QB. I'd take him over Sunseri. I was shocked when AA at ESPN named Sunseri in her preseason top 25 players. Her rationale was mainly that Todd Graham runs such an effective system that Sunseri would have a great season. That may pan out, but Sunseri struggles mightily and he's had the benefit of playing with a lot of very talented and healthy skill position players. I'm encouraged because Nassib appears to be working hard on his issues, and I expect him to continue to improve. I think the offensive line has improved. The blitzing pressure is what seems to bother Nassib. Any kind of breakdown whether it's picking up a blitz or a receiver being bumped at the line of scrimmage seems to throw Nassib off. A good mantra for a QB: expect the unexpected and when it happens find the advantage and take it (if the unexpected doesn't happen then take the advantage). Sometimes it seems like Nassib has an idea of how wants the play to be in his mind and when it doesn't transpire he forces things. Nassib struggles to throw screens imo. Maybe that's why spends a lot of time looking down field at covered receivers and misses Harris or Bailey. The clock in his head should be ticking because checking down to a back involves timing too. And if you check down to the back and the back is covered then you move around to buy time and allow the receivers or back to make a play to get open. I think he struggles when rolling out. He seems to enjoy the open space when he's out there because he often takes too long imo to make decisions. He often throws to the receiver when the receiver or the TE has already run out of room on the sideline. I've seen several receivers and the RBs shaking their heads. What is truly frustrating, however is that Nassib can and sometimes does do all of these things very well. He just needs to grow into consistency. I feel like he's on the verge of another breakthrough, and hopefully he will continue to have more breakthroughs because he has a lot of potential. [/QUOTE]
