This week's "I can't believe O'Connor is still playing" thread

[Dr. Strangelove]

IU game

[Snake Plissken]

I'm in

[aualum06]

Just doesn't seem confident

[CORNER BLITZ]

He's the opposite of Maxwell

Maxwell lost confidence in his WR and it crushed him
WR don't have confidence in TOC and...

[CORNER BLITZ]

And he throws his best deep ball in my fucking eye


Thank you I'll have another

[Heat Miser]

Threw a nice ball there.

[Dr. Strangelove]

OK that was a nice one to shelton.

Look he's just like Byron Leftwich. Locks on receivers, no touch, takes forever to throw it but when he does put it all together (4 or 5 times a game) he throws a real pretty ball.

That's the first deep ball he's thrown to a guy in stride that I can remember

[Dendrobates]

It's really pissing me off that he keeps passing when it's only a couple yards from the line of scrimmage or a couple yards short of the 1st down line. We don't have the offense to move forward , and he's going to get someone hurt if he keeps making those short passes.

[Dr. Strangelove]

Are we sure O'Connor doesn't play in the defensive secondary?

I'm thinking that shitshow has to be his fault too

A foot longer and it would have been a good pass and a TD

[Turtleneck]

Leftwich had a 9-10 year NFL career after a decent college career where he accounted for something like 13,000 yards of total offense and close to 100 TDs. Is that the best comparison? I don't see TOC putting up the kind of numbers Leftwich put up as a senior or having a decade long NFL career.

It's more in the mechanics in the way they both throw it - long windup, no touch, locking on receivers. Admittedly Leftwich is/was a better qb

9 years. 50 starts (38 starts in first three years), 58 tds and 42 picks

You're wrong about locking on receivers.

[aualum06]

1 yard pass with 4 seconds left. Nice call.

[Dr. Strangelove]

He's just gotta say fuck it and put Lewerke in for 2nd half. Right?

Yeah I don't think so either.

For all of those poor mechanics, he managed a pretty nice college career and an NFL career that lasted nearly a decade and included 50 starts. I am just saying maybe not the most appropriate comparison. But it probably doesn't matter since nobody is really arguing with your general point that TOC is not getting it done.

[Jake from State Farm]

Scrap the program

[Cameron]

TOC throws a better ball than IU's RB, so that's something...
