My eyes must have deceived me on those three long throws where the receiver was wide open. Didn't see any loft to the ball so the received could just run under it. Looked like lazer throws from where I was in the stadium.

He is 19 years old … he is right on course , he has it all. But I am sure JH appreciates your valuable input

Were your eyes deceiving you on the perfectly thrown deep ball that squirrel dropped or the throw while on the run that he dropped in to Thornton?

I’ll reserve judgment on him until the season is over.
So far he has not lived up to expectations.

Expectations to what Eddie ? Helping us win ? I would say he is about on par with where he should be. Did we really expect heisman numbers in year 1? He will reach his milestones, at his own pace. Every kids growth on this team has gotten better yearly. No reason to make these types of comments, Nico is one of the most talented players in the country yet the speed of the game still needs processing. That takes a little time in most cases when you are having to decipher what wr's are doing because we run combo routes. Each play has several routes options.

Nico doesn’t really throw fastballs

Yes he does. Perhaps you should not squeeze your eye shut when he's passing.
He throws fast ones, just not as hard as JoMil did. And frankly, half of JopMi's
balls was our WRs didn't have NFL hands. In the few NFL throws I've seen,
he's just as hard but the WRs can catch and hold on to the balls. As for Nic,
He does just fine, fast or touch. Give him a consistent OL, and opponents will
literally fear his presence on the field.

........all week with nothing but touch passes and putting air under the ball. Throwing nothing but fastballs is bad, bad, bad.

Nico is not Joe 2.0. This could have been a mechanics problem. It's just odd that it started when it did and why it continues. Of course with both Joey and Josh, you'd think that would have been an easy quick fix. I think it's a minor mental block that needs to be eliminated. I think he needs to be tackled early in the games because it seems he plays better all around when he runs the ball and has some contact. Nothing crazy, just within their normal offense. They really didn't let him run much early in the season, and I think that's where and when this problem developed. JMO

No one needs him to get tackled at all

He is much better moving than standing in the pocket. He can see who is coming for him and use his quickness in space. If he runs the ball a couple of times early it will open everything up and make it easy. If they try to force it up the gut it will be a close game.

Milton threw fastballs. Nico has thrown hard ones but he doesn’t do it on a regular basis.

Honestly I think coach’s with tons of experience and getting paid more than you’ll make ever decided to give him the week off to just have a little fun and chill.

What is with some of you people???
