Quote:10/10 Ability to make running backs run long distances when he hands off the ball
That made me chuckle out loud.
However, a QB that gets no respect from the defense would not have that number even in jest. You have to grant that White is good enough to extend the defenses enough to keep the running game open.

That is really the beauty of the RPO offense. It prevents players coming off the edge from crashing down on the RB because the QB can just pull the ball back and dump it off laterally and that usually leaves a numbers advantage for us on the edge or it leaves a defender on an island to make a solo open filed tackle. I have given White some slack but this is an area he excels greatly. He is typically an excellent decision maker on whether to hand the ball off or pull it and dump a pass off.

We had a once in a lifetime back in Henderson. We never had a game where our longest run was 15 yards. I can't think of a single game where the offense was extended in any way. If anything, we were lucky that defenses played us somewhat straight up in the first half of games. Once they figured it out, even our great running game couldn't bail us out on too many occasions.

RE: Each Of Brady White's Throws
Finally waded through this thread. Appreciate the stats in the OP, but it doesn't tell the whole story (throw yardage on passes behind line of scrimmage, pressure/pocket, etc.). Most of the rest of the thread is (expected) nonsense.
Complaining about the OFFENSE last year.
Complaining about Norvell's play calling.
Complaining about, certainly not the best, but one of our top 5ish QBs all time.
Complaining about the offensive talent.
We scored (an avg of) 31 points in our losses last year. That ain't bad. We gave up 42 points in our losses. The losses were not on Norvell's play calling, the offense, or the QB. BW did not "waste" any offensive talent.
Norvell's play calling absolutely misses a few times. But he's forgotten more about offense than you all will ever know - combined. We will one day look back on the Norvell offense as some of our best years in program history. I would suggest some of you not "waste" these years.
