I'm holding my breath every time he passes. The kid sure can run but he's got a lot of work to do on his passing. If we come out and run it like that last week we are 2-0.

I really want him to be The Future... But right now his accuracy and decision making are both 5/10.

Find a power back -- Aeris Williams. Then just use Fitz like Ralph. Limit his passing, control the clock, use his running ability to his strenth.

His accuracy is OK - he just needs to learn how to place the ball. He simply throws at the WR rather than putting it where only the WR can catch it. So you end up with a lot of easily defended passes unless the guy is wide open.

Not sure Fitz can physically last 4 quarters ala Relf offense. Notice the TV guys commenting that Fitz appeared exhausted a number of times. Conditioning issues? Of course, running for almost 200 yds may be the reason but the fatigue seemed way to frequent.

I hear there's a stomach bug going around Vegas. With him never reentering last weeks game and the way he looked tonight, I just wonder if he hasn't had it. He looked like he started tonight's game halfway dehydrated. Which is scary, the thought of the wheels he would have at 100%.

I love cookie monsters posts!!!! Fitz has a cannon. It's much easier to teach a qb with arm strength where to throw the ball. Than it is to have a qb with no arm strength to throw deep routes.

Need to remember how Dak improved his passing during his career at State. Nick has the upside potential to improve a ton in the next 3 years. It may or may not happen but if there is a QB coach in the country that can get the most out of him it`s Mullen.

Dak's passing wasn't great his first couple starts either. I still remember Tubby Lewis running wide open vs Auburn, Dak had no clue.

I thought his accuracy was ok even if it isn't always a pretty spiral. What he needs to work on is looking off his intended target and going through his progressions when his primary target his covered, he got bailed out of a mistake with a defensive penalty when he threw into triple coverage and by our huge receiver on the touchdown.

Fitz is light years ahead of Dak at the same point in their careers. He is not Dak but nobody is.

He has work to do but he is young and it was essentially his first game. Dan has his faults but qb grooming isn't one of them. He will be a good qb for us as he improves his passing game.

After the spring game, I said we were going to a have a lot of INTs this year...

His accuracy is OK - he just needs to learn how to place the ball. He simply throws at the WR rather than putting it where only the WR can catch it. So you end up with a lot of easily defended passes unless the guy is wide open.


I kept hoping our secondary was just that good, because all of our qbs in the spring game kept throwing into coverage.......after two games, I'm seeing its just them knowing when to throw the football....

I hope they learn quick, cause the good secondary's are coming up.....
