And that leads me to this to answer your other questions. This offseason I suspect KT will have the most growth in his career. It's going to like gross anatomy for doctors but for QB's. He's going to be focusing on really understanding the offense AND he's also going to focus on understanding coverages, blitzes, and things like that. He will also be spending a TON of time with his receivers building rapport. So what can we reasonably expect from KT? I think if he stays healthy I think he will have a season similar to the one that Marcel Reed had this year for Texas A&M. He may have even fewer INT's because he takes care of the ball well which is a trait I love.

So, I think KT will know the offense and I think he will understand it but he will probably not quite have mastered it. What I mean by that is I think by the time he gets to year three he is going to have an even deeper understanding of the offense and you'll see him doing things like making more checks on his own, he will be more confident, the turnovers will continue to go down, he will be smart with his running, and his situational awareness will continue to improve. That's probably 2027 realistically that we're talking about here. Doesn't mean that 2026 will be bad. It just means that 2027 and beyond will be even better and potentially special.

I do agree with Coach that as he gains experience his rushes will go down because he will not default to scrambling quite so quickly. Our fans need to understand that this is not Dan Mullen's offense. Yes, there are QB runs in Lebby's offense but not nearly as many as in Dan's. We're not going ask KT to throw 30 times and rush 20-25 times. It's probably going to end up being more like 32-34 passes to 10 QB rushes including scrambles.
We would be ecstatic if he played like Marcel Reed.
