Have to tip cap to Des. He still misses a handful of throws every game that would be big gains or TD’s, he can’t throw to the middle of the field effectively, and he’d get picked more than he does against elite p5 defenses. But respect where it’s due, he has the offense putting up points, controlling time of possession, and is ripping off back breaking runs.

I will always wonder how good Bryant could have been with first string reps, but Fick was right to stick with Des. He has become a weapon. Bryant would complete more deep balls, but would probably also end more drives with punts, while des keeps them going with his legs. Tyrod in the Orange bowl vs VT, russel wilson at NC St, bridgewaters louisville- UC would force third and long, get penetration, and get scrambled on for demoralizing first downs. Des is not in their class, but it has to be equally frustrating as an opposing fan watching him convert a would be punt into a new set of downs.

From what I understand, prater is the same kind of qb, only with a better arm. If that’s true, look out p5’s.
