feels the need to throw it 100 mph on every throw. He had many throws that were non competitive throws. Also on the freaking overthrows... if I threw you guys a beer fishing and I overthrew you and it went into the damn pond I think I would adjust the throw to stop that **** on the next throw.

He seems to throw with more touch the more he gets hit. Probably explains why Mullen likes him so much, he's physical.

Fitz is as much of a problem with the offense this year as the OL. He's an inexperienced Soph unlike the OL, but he's struggled with reads, with mechanics, with touch and he doesn't get it going with his legs either.

Theyve got him faux-reading now, but a lot of those are him looking one way then immediately coming back to his route underneath.

I'm not apologizing for him but he is still very green throwing the ball. I was just as frustrated watching him overthrow several passes last night, not to mention the fact that there were 3 or 4 times he did that with a receiver wide open that could have changed the game. I remember once that would have been a certain TD if he just puts some air in his throw.

Kind of a 1a conversation. Go back and look at the first or second catch by Gray. He gave up on the route, slowed down, Fitz threw him the ball and he caught it by luck. This has happened several times this year with all receivers.

As for him over throwing, that is on him. He is not setting his feet. The coaches can tell him this all day long but until he spends hours by himself visualizing experiencing situations where the pocket is less than ideal, he'll never connect on the long passes.

The run reads come with reps with current personnel . I wish that Dan would work Lee into some games to get some game experience. Trying to costantly tackle white Relf, Williams or Lee would get old for second level guys.

I see tons of potential but it is up to fitz to put the work in to be great.

I m just grateful we havnt wasted time using Tiano. Its obvious with the choice of running backs that Tiano would be a bust at qb.

If we can just get fitz to throw 110-120 maybe we can complete a few more passes. The whole tripping over his own feet can be solved by chopping his toes off.
