QPII can't hit on "spot" and/or timing throws - anything that requires timing or throwing to a spot throw on the field - check downs. sideline pass, slants, screens, etc. He seems to lacks touch for those things. Makes me wonder if he has a depth perception problem.
QP is only successful on "area" throws, which why he makes the connection on those long down the middle of the field passes. He throws high and long to an area, allowing Watson to track the ball down and run under it.
If QP had to actually hit Watson on a targeted spot and timed 'bullet' pass 30 yards it is unlikely it would succeed. He has the arm for such a pass, but .....
You wanta play football, any school will do; ... You wanta learn football, NDSU is for you!
So a good question is why are NDSU coaches so willing to give up such a big portion of the offensive game plan? Sorry, QP is a good running QB, but he isnt that elusive, fast or tough to bring down. This is a critical point in this season and will determine if the Bison can return to the top. Just don't think QP and the offensive game plan that goes with him will get the Bison back to Frisco. Also think Cam needs some more game time to prove he is ready.

All I know is: I don't hold my breath in anticipation of something bad happening when Cam throws. I hold my breath in anticipation of something marvelous happening.
3rd and 5 should NEVER be a QB sneak. You need someone to throw a 7 yard out. That's Cam.
QP got 7 games and has never shown the ability to do anything other than the bomb. Unfortunately they are such spectacular plays that's all anyone remembers. The dozen or so incomplete passes that he overthrows get ignored.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
In spite of what Entz indicated in yesterday's presser, there was a noticeable difference in playcalling when Cam subbed in. Even though Cam is just (somewhat) serviceable in the QB run game, his much better downfield vision and ability to throw a good ball is what will keep our entire offense chugging along like it should. The QB run game only works if those middle passes are a threat and vicey versey.
