    There is no nuance. We had 357 yards of offense in that half. 297 of it was passing. 44 of it was a WR on a very well designed running play.

    You figure out the rest.

    We can’t run the ball and we are up 35-0.

    But our QB is a pussy.

    We've handed it off to a RB 7 times so far. Our run game is not elite, but a majority of run games require commitment to the concept before they really take off. The game plan today was clearly built on the passing game, and it's working. It's also worth remembering that our short passing game should be viewed as an extension of our running game. And that only works when you have a QB like Quinn that can make those sideways throws with good timing and placement. 

    The lack of nuance comment was about the extreme stances out there on Quinn. He's not a pussy, but he's also not playing at a CFP title winning level. He's had a ton of margin for error on many of his throws and has used nearly all of that margin on several. The first drop by Moore and the TD pass to Golden are two good examples. The missed pass to Bond where the DB fell down was also extremely poor. On the flip side, the 2nd drop by Moore was perfect and there have been a couple of other good tosses mixed in.

    The main concern I have is that he's not going to get many (if any) throws with that kind of margin for error against better teams. So it's not hard to project what sort of trouble we might be in if that ends up being the case.

    But again, I know people either have to be in the "Quinn is doing great" or "Quinn is a dumpster fire" camp around here.

    Oh for fucks sake that drop is all on Moore.  The next one was all on Ewers.  Grow up.

    Moore has to catch that every time. Nobody can argue that.

    At the exact same time, that ball was very badly underthrown. Moore had to damn near stop. He still has to catch it, but that was a really bad throw.

    You mean the system I’ve paid into since I was 15? Or having to pay 10s of thousands of dollars every year for the simple reason that my wife and I made too much money?

    it’s a damn shame and I should be embaressed.

    You only pay 10s of thousands of dollars per year in taxes? Must be nice.

    fox news just said that trump started the night with a 58% chance to win according to betting odds, and that that number has gone up to 68% since the night started. what does this mean?

    It means that Fox News eats more dicks than Bob Stoops.
