The Easton Stick Mega Thread

[thebigund]

Streveler is probably the best QB in the FCS right now. USD wouldn't be close to where they are right now without him. He does everything for their offense.

You guys are lucky to be playing him later in the year. He's been getting the shit beat out of him all year and it's catching up to him.

Easton was under throwing the receivers. He did it on a bunch of long throws yesterday including the picked off ones. The WR's should be better but it's hard to come back and knock the ball 5 yards away from where you think it should be. They aren't gimme 50-50 balls. And he should be throwing those balls on the sideline.

I think that's by design. It's called an under thrown go route and it's tough to defend when the corner is deep and the receiver can slow down and make a catch. It's a much higher percentage ball than a 50/50

I am all in with Stick and not to take away anything from Van Dallen on the bench but what else you Stick haters going to do? Stick will recover from this game and team will rally. For as bad as the game was yesterday, early 4th quarter we were down 6. Should have and could have been more. Back away from the ledge.

I'm not sure people are hating, more like being realistic. He can't play like he did yesterday, he got lucky that the defense bailed him out against UNI where he was also awful. I'm not sure what his deal is, he has never been a great passer but his mechanics and decision making have fallen off a cliff the past few games. Not sure we have an alternative, I hope he gets it together.

Watch his feet in the pocket. He hasn't been thowing from a good platform.

Then he needs some more coaching up. Again it is a team game. The last

I can think of a handful of times in the past couple games where the WRs had both hands on the ball but couldn't pull them in all the way to the ground. The DB was able to knock it away before the WR completed the play. Good defensive plays? Yes. Do I expect our WRs to pull those in stronger more often they have? Also yes. Those are the types of plays I'm referring to in my previous post as 50/50 balls.

Some of the same people ripping Easton are the same guys who advocated for him to start over Carson Fucking Wentz.

There is not a better option right now. Period.

Coaches need to unleash him as a runner and allow him to get into the game.

What????????

[thebigund]

What????????

He's trying to talk about back shoulder throws which are an actual thing and really hard to defend but doesn't know what they're called or that there is a difference between a bad throw and a back shoulder one.
