Realistic expectations for Nico this season.

What was the deal with 6 sacks and two completions on 12 pressures. Mix of Iowa being good defensively and just his first start?

Not knocking. Just curious.

No one in JH's offense throws a lot of interceptions. It just doesn't happen. So, from the very little I have seen from Nico so far, he makes quick decisions like Hendon (a good thing......except), What I have seen from Nico so far is that he will take too many sacks. I think the later is Freshmen stuff. I tend to listen to the guys that know more than me on this that say he is special. We shall see.

He definitely did that. It’s probably a HS thing if he could always get out of the situation with his legs.

I just want him to handle the offense well and not make many mistakes. I don't care if we win with the passing game, win with the rushing game or a combination - as long as we win.

And it wasn't necessarily Hooker's numbers that made him special but his ability to manage the offense.

So what is everyone’s realistic expectations for Nico this year stats wise? Here is what I think:

65%, 3150 pass yards, 25 TDs with 9 INts.

400-500 rush yards with another 7 TDs.

Just Win

QBs don’t win games by themselves

QBs don’t win games by themselves

And I hope as he gets more time in, he starts to realize it.

Can always rely on legs to make or save the play.
