[QUOTE="GILL-INOIS, post: 1973462, member: 747818"] The big thing is EXPERIENCE.....not only for the QBs but the whole offensive unit. It takes time to gel when you have so many new pieces thrown together. Altmyer grew as the season went on. I have no problem blaming the OL for stuff but Altmyer was learning on the job. He threw into double coverage and forced some passes earlier in the season. Big thing I noticed is he was trying to make plays with his feet at times and took losses when he should have just thrown the ball out of bounds. It wasn't drastic but he really did improve on the little things like this as he got more time and think the game was slowing down for him. The other side you have Paddock coming in off a 18 TD 14 INT season at Ball State. Those stats don't look impressive but he also threw the 10th most passing attempts in the 2022 season. He could read defenses and found the open man. Ton of those TD drives were in fast tempo and it played to his strengths. [/QUOTE]
