Wright has completed 70% of his passes this season after 57% at Vandy (which was higher than Fitz had his Jr year)

Wright is a much better passer than Hornsby who was 48% on the year last season, 47% in our game.

While we have a small sample size and it was against wmu, Wright made some pretty good throws. Wright and Hornsby aren't even close passing wise, as you said. The pass walley dropped that would've been a td was a dime, threaded the needle and right where it needed to be where only the wr could catch it. While i doubt wright is the next tom brady, he does have a strong arm and there is some semblance of accurace, perhaps enough to make him dangerous with the run game thrown in. We'll find out saturday.

Yeah, Wright has arm talent. Just not consistency. When his footwork is good, he is accurate enough. When he's hot he can drop some dimes. Just needs to be more consistent.

Right and a good example of that inconsistency was that ball he threw about 50 feet over Zavions head, when he didn't reset his feet. He definitely can do some damage with legs and arm, but like you said, he has to find some consistency.

Good. Hope it continues.
Has he thrown a pass beyond the line of scrimmage against a P5 school?

True but Will throws into dirt 5 times a game. Wright was 7-10 and had two drops in that too. His short throws were as accurate as Will. Not saying he is a better passer just going on last game sample.

Gee with all those positives, I guess we should be able to agree that laying another egg would be an indictment on the coaching staff...

2019 you could see where it was heading so no real excitement that season. And then the Airbone was like watching a Wing-T team for me. The biggest highlight of 2020 was watching our WR swing at someone and then run away

Saturday will be like a Christmas morning now that we have a mobile QB

I still like to watch the updated versions of the wing T ran under spread concepts and shotguns mixed in.

Agreed and I'm interested to see how Wright does with a full game. He gives us an extra dimenstion with his legs and we'll find out if he can at least keep defenses honest with his passing.

Kinda hard to tell watching on TV but the team seems to like him too.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little excited. I'm mostly interested to see what we look like on offense, even though we know the defense sucks. I guess I've just accepted the fact that the defense is going to suck all year.
I want to see what the O looks like with a dual threat QB. Maybe this will give us an idea of where we're headed if we can recruit solid dual threat QB's.
Been bow hunting all week with my son in this beautiful Tennessee weather!! Gonna chill Saturday morning and watch our game.

To be fair , I think having an athletic QB in the previous system, and with an H back, would have been incredible also. No drop 8 when the QB is quick enough to just slide for 4-5 yards each time.
