Countdown to 2016 FB Season!
IAA Fan:
Look last year is last year. The fact that Davis runs all the time in '15, makes his completion percentage artificially higher and his attempts artifically-lower.
You have to have some trust in your coaches. Back in the 90's I was upset at the choice of Brungard, but he was able win titles for us. I was upset at the choice of Tidwell over Zwick, but he turned out to be a great QB for us, with a title as well. Yet Tressel, did nothing with Tidwell, even the spring before Zwick left, Tressel was not even working with Demond Tidwell. Later, Tressel said he will never make that mistake again. All QB's get the workouts.

Time to say goodnight to that myth. :)
Behold the 2015 MVFC passing efficiency ratings:
http://www.mvc.org/football/stats/ind-all.pdf
PASS EFFICIENCY Cl G Comp-Att-Int Yds TD Eff.
6. Davis, Ricky-YSU So 9 8-18-0 142 1 129.0
8. Wells, Hunter-YSU So 11 159-291-7 1975 13 121.6
Passing efficiency does not subdivide INTs into pick 6's and non-pick 6s. If it did, Well's passing efficiency would be much worse.

So I said Davis has a strong arm but terrible accuracy, and you quote last season's stat:
Davis 44% completion rate
Wells 54% completion rate
Now don't get me wrong, 54% is not good enough for Wells, but 44% is a joke. This is compounded by Ricky's own words, when he was in the game, it was going to be a run. Should have been easy to complete at least a few passes. You guys should fork over the money, buy tickets and go watch some of these games. I also point out the fact that Davis was a better runner than Wells, (maybe I am too!) but he is NOT a dramatic playmaker with his legs either. He is at best 3 string, maybe 4th. Everybody likes the backup. By mid season, we won't hear Davis at all, you will all be saying "if only they would play Hosick." I do expect Hunter to lead us to the playoffs this season. We'll see, but your "all in with Ricky" has no factual basis for support

Why look only at completions? That's only one measure of a QB. Don't yardage, TD's, and interceptions also matter, maybe even moreso? The passing efficiency rating factors in all of those things.

YOU'RE the one that quoted the stats, now you don't want me to point out obvious? Yes, there are other things than completion percentage, but it's still the very best way to measure accuracy and Ricky doesn't have it. I'm not pro-Hunter or anti-Ricky, but all this "we want Ricky" retoric on this blog is 100% emotion and has nothing to do with fooball ability.

That is your opinion and you are entitled to it, but it doesn't seem as though the coaches agree...

Davis ended up getting 8 snaps with the first team opposed to Hunter's 6. Hosick got 7 snaps with 2nd team. #YSU @vindicator
