That's encouraging.
Least he's only 5th worst according to qbr (x-axis)
Meanwhile our rival has a D2 guy leading them to the playoffs, ha. The pain is real.Quote:

Chambliss is legit. If Simmons were their QB, they would not be headed for the playoff.Quote:

Man, man, man... advanced metrics are good until they say something you don't like.Quote:

PFF grades more than actual results. It grades whether you made the right decision. It weights plays according to pressure. It's a great metric imo. Now I'll be the first to question how accurate their college ratings are... I just don't see how they can watch every game for every player. What I don't like is using PFF when it says something good and discarding it when it says something bad. Either it has weight or it doesn't.Quote:

We have definitely had worse QB's to play the game at our university.Quote:

PFF and QBR agree that Shapen is one of worst P4 QBs. That seems to be a hard fact to gloss over.
I'm not disagreeing with you.. the stats are there. I'm just saying I think he is probably a better qb than what the stats show. Definitely hard to argue with your point. Im with you when you say you can use them for one point and not for anotherQuote:

I think you ran that risk with KT handing the reigns off any earlier than now. All for him to start in the Egg bc what do you have to lose.Quote:

Great post bro. Spot on. I actually made a post a few days ago that Shapen is cooked for the Egg Bowl simply because his confidence is gone. It has to be. And that in itself effects playing ability tremendously. I've been one of those guys saying to give KT a shot because he can has the ability to make a negative play turn into a positive and with the O Line we have, I think its essential. I dont think Shapen really has that ability. I understand he is a freshman and may not know the ins and outs of the offense, he will make bad decisions, bad reads, etc.. but Shapen has been a turnover machine this year. What could you possibly lose at this point? We know all this point Shapen isn't the guy with this O Line. Maybe, MAYBE, KT can produce some more positive plays and keep the defense on the sideline.Quote:

Nope-what it would do is make the good OL worse. No matter the OL -Shapen would still hold the ball too long, stare down Wrs, Run when he should have handed off to a rb. Why is it Kt makes our OL look better?Quote:

Hopefully KT plays some meaningful plays in the game
