    -Fitz is 5th in the league in passing attempts and 13th in the league in yards

    BYU is 37th nationally is passing defense allowing 200 ypg but what I think is a better indicator is passer rating against which is 104th nationally mainly due to a 8 to 3 TD to INT ratio and a 66.3% completion percentage (which is 118th nationally).

    In short, Fitz has been awful throwing the ball but this BYU defense is bad against the pass. To be fair, some of Fitz's numbers are skewed having played 2 elite defenses in UGA and Auburn. This is a 4 game stretch where he can rise back toward the middle of the pack. I'm really hoping we see some growth in the passing game the next 4 games.
    sometimes.

    Beastman, you?d have more credibility if you gave credit for the good throws. It?s obvious fitz touched you inappropriately and I?m sorry for that.

    Does fitz need to improve? Yes, but he?s hardly as bad as you cry about here

    Haha. I like Fitz. I just am in touch with reality about what he is. I watch our boards run down the WRs all day everyday as the reason the passing offense doesn’t click. Fitz is an equal partner in that if not more. Fitz just threw a horrible throw off his back foot and you’re mad at me. How does that make sense?

    Not mad... just think you have a bone to pick with fitz. I was critical of first int. Without fitz, we win 5 games... maybe

    You’re exactly right. He’s the best we got. You don’t see me call to bench him. He frustrates me passing the ball because he is so inconsistent. If Nick could throw the ball he’d be the best QB in the SEC because he’s the most dynamic runner. Has a cannon arm.

    Better WRs would make his job easier... bigger windows. We?re just a good team, no where near great. I?m gonna be thrilled with our 8 wins

    Better WRs have nothing to do with having a total mechanical breakdown and throwing a critical INT. Odell Beckham could have been the guy in that route and it’s still a pick.

    Without the drops Fitz would have been 25-30 for 300 yards.... still accounted for 4TD's while sick to his stomach.
