the point is that is where his strengths lie… if he hits them then he is successful but he struggles to drive the team.??? Take away the 2 bombs? What, they don't count?
Take away a rb's long runs and ypc goes down too. Take away a wr's long pass plays and his ypc goes down. And you can say the same about other qbs.
You don't get to pick and choose which to count.
I wonder how much better Joe would have looked with a helmet speaker.This offense is taught to the QB’s, and they make decisions based on the defensive alignment. I guess some plays could come in when we slow it down, and they look over. But the teaching is done preseason and in practice. It’s all option routes based on alignment. I just don’t believe the offense changed a whole lot from year to year. The players did.
I think they tended to avoid the situations that got Joe in trouble. His clear inability to throw receivers open or anticipate them being open likely made the middle of the field less available. Whatever his role in '22, Golesh wasn't key in all the successful offenses Heupel had in the past, and Heupel didn't forget how to coach offense this year. Joe's stats were decent *because* of the game plan, but the overall performance was down because they were planning around his limitations. I bet that'll be obvious by mid season next year.He still had to make the throws which seemed his biggest issue.
