[QUOTE="OB positive, post: 1957581, member: 749644"] I agree with this. While Altmeyer has been fairly serviceable, his inconsistency has killed us at times. He has a lot of potential and ability but his pocket awareness is terrible and his progressions are agonizingly slow. That is probably why he is on a record breaking pace for turnovers. Paddock came in and looked calm, cool and seasoned like he'd been back there all year long. For that final drive he looked as good as any of the top quarterbacks in the country. I don't know what they have been seeing in practice but sometimes the guy that looks great in practice doesn't perform well on game day and sometimes others elevate their play and deal with the pressure a lot better. I'm not saying Paddock should start the rest of the year but Altmeyer has certainly not locked down the position now or for the future imo. Maybe he will settle down eventually but it looks to me like he could have learned some things from Paddock. If a better option at qb came up in the portal next year I would definitely give it some thought. [/QUOTE]
