We've made some major changes! Be sure to read this thread in order to get everything moved over.
Explain this to me please

Florida used a lot of play action passes and Mertz checked down a lot.
I don't know that we need a statistical breakdown to point that out.

Yes he did and hopefully that will change this year. We cant have our best receiver in motion catching the ball 3-5 yd behind the line of scrimmage. I know there was one game last year where he was 11 for 13 on passes behind the line of scrimmage.
Do you think that was the offense because the coaches called it or he rather throw short passes?
Four seconds to throw is a lifetime.
The average in the NFL is 2.78 seconds.
It probably isn't much more in college.
We can't blame all those short passes on the offensive line.
Mertz is more comfortable throwing short to medium range passes.
We can live with that and make it wirk if the receivers can make some plays when they get the ball in their hands.

He certainly hasn't shown any ability of throw a deep ball with any kind of accuracy. Some of the short passes are design plays but I do feel he is more comfortable throwing balls inside 7 yd. When Brown came in he threw the ball down the field. I can't imagine a backup quarterback was told to throw the ball down the field while the starting quarterback was told to to throw short. That is what's so painful about watching this offense. All the passes within a couple yards of the line of scrimmage.
The offense is not the problem. Despite all the belly aching and complaining about things like Mertz's performance and play calling, we score plenty of points.
Criticism of defense and special teams while not helpful would at least be less disingenuous than this nonsense.
