I hope you realize that you just posted the fact that our QB has thrown for a GRAND TOTAL of only 888 yds in 5 games in 2009. And probably more than a third of that yardage came against Nicholls St, a drastically undermanned team.Originally Posted by zharkins
Also, only 3 passing TD's vs 3 INT's is downright ABSURD!
Those are really pathetic statistics. I don't see how you are helping Ross's cause. This REALLY sucks.
HD
Yea. Seriously. How can a QB not be throwing for over 1000 yards by now? This guy really sucks too.

Imagine what his numbers would be like without that sorry Troy he passed all over for 4 TDs.
And Tebow has thrown for SEVEN (7) TD's vs 2 INT's. You're still burying your own case. :icon_wink:
HD
Dude. Its Tim Tebow. Ross is Ross.
4 against Troy. You can't blame Ross for drops or our running game being a better scoring threat.
And your entire point was 800 yards in 5 games is terrible. TDs is another point. Keep in mind Florida is also considered one of the best offenses in the country.
I know. Just proving HD that on a running team, 800 yards isn't as bad as he thinks.
Only Juice would try to compare Ross Jenkins' year favorably to Tim Tebow's.However, you kinda have to admire his gumption. That boy has got nothing but red & blue glasses on....
HD
And HD still doesn't get it. You're argument is 800 yards through 5 games is terrible. Tebow doesn't even have 800 yards through 5 games. Then again it isn't like it matters because you will say our passing game sucks as long as we aren't throwing for 400 yards a game...with a QB from Texas.Only Juice would try to compare Ross Jenkins' year favorably to Tim Tebow's.

No Juice, your argument still doesn't work.
1) TeBow is on the # 1 ranked team in the nation, and Jenkins is not.
2) TeBow is surrounded by world class talent, while Jenkins is NOT.
3) TeBow, a Heisman Trophy winner, is a genuine running threat, while Jenkins is NOT.
4) Tebow is backed by a stable of RB's and a depth chart that Jenkins can only dream about.
Like it or not, LA Tech does not have the talent and the depth that Florida has, so it is ludicrous to think we can depend soley on our running game to win football games. Other than against the occassional weak defenses (e.g., Hawaii), that will never happen.
Like it or not, it is absolutely imperative that we be successful throwing the football. It was proven to us last year (when we had a very anemic and limited offense), and it's certainly being DRILLED into our thick heads again THIS year. If you want to win, we've GOT to throw the ball!! Please GET THE MESSSAGE!

Most telling stat: Tebow wins, Jenkins doesn't. The only reason most overlooked Jenkins' lack of passing skills last year is bc we were winning. Not so much this year.
was sitting in malone stadium last night watching the game. was talking to one of the guys off of the ulm message board. In the middle of it he ask, "hey man, WHATS the deal with your QB". I had to laugh. We might be a bunch of squirrels but those outside the squirrel nest are thinking the same way.
1- #1 running team or not, we are a primarily running team. Running teams run the ball a lot more than they throw. For some reason I feel I still have to break this down to you.
2- If Tebow is sourrounded by world class talent, shouldn't that help his passing (and his TD to INT ratio) Ross has had one or two interceptions on the WR. Also had a few dropped TDs. Tebow has better protection as well.
3- I don't know why people say he is a running threat. He ain't exactly a Mike Vick. Sure he is tough and fights for tough yards but that doesn't mean he is a good running threat. He's such a good running threat he projects to an NFL fullback. That should tell you more about his running style than anything else.
4- We have good runningbacks too. I don't see how that has anything to do with anything.
I am not happy with how Ross is throwing the ball but I am not going to pretend his is a failure because he hasn't hit 1000 yards plus through 5 games. That is my entire point. But yet you somehow always seem to never get anything that simple.
I think you forgot one thing, Tebow is 5-0. We are not. If we were we wouldn't be having this conversation.
I think you don't know HD that well. We could go undefeated and win a national championship and he would still complain we aren't throwing for enough yards.
