Windham has been a real enigma to me. On some pass plays, particular deep passes, he seems to be very good and usually quite accurate. On plays that appear to be more timing type short and medium range passes he seems often wildly inaccurate. He also seems to often throw the ball with too much velocity when it's not necessary on short passes which leads to a lot of dropped passes by the receivers when he is accurate enough to get the ball to them. My question is, are these observations accurate? And, also, why do you think he is so erratic? How much does poor play by the OL figure in here? What I'm really after is just an analysis of Windham's strengths and weaknesses as well as how the play of the rest of the offense figures into this analysis. Thanks.

Thread hijack deleted.

pretty spot on. Windham came here with talent that needed to be fine tuned. Windham got into trouble early on in his career, his all world receiver buddy from high school never made it to Athens. In spot duty over the last few years, he hast been a boom or bust QB that completes about 50% of his passes. He does not have a high football IQ, so he is prone to making mistakes. This however, does not negate his talent. He can throw the ball downfield if given time, he can run, when given space. His lack of efficiency and confidence is what has led to some of his marginal performances.
I remember him coming in at the end of the Appalachian State game, he was trying to get himself hype, he was trying to act as if he was not nervous and he dropped a perfect snap (uhoh) and then threw a screen play for over 40 yards. GW never built up his confidence to be an All-MAC QB. He had talent and he hung in and finished a turbulent career at ohio university. I hope he has wonderful success in the business world and comes back to Ohio from time to time. He should be proud that he won the QB position twice in his senior year.

true

Yeah that definitely did happen.

Guys, again this is not rocket science. " Nobody said GW had to be Peyton Manning. What I tell kids that I coach is "make the simple play all the time". Then, when the occasion arises worry about making a great play. Too many times, GW did not make the pass that was easy and simple. Seems too often to be high and hard on short passes. Much better on the long balls with some touch though!Kind

Yeah, and what is simple to one athlete is not necessarily easy to another. You sound like the guy who yells block them, yet with no clue of what actually goes into the "blocking them"

I agree with you on that one, we should not have lost to Texas....However, the defense in the beginning was not the defense in the end. I thought they stepped up. Yes we lost, but not by more than 10 points. We never capitalized on our possessions, and we were pretty much held to a game of field goals....

No, I just think your statement implies that anyone can do that job, it's an overly simplistic look at the situation. What may look easy for you from a barstool isn't quite as easy when bodies begin flying around.
