Not thrilled with the game yesterday but we looked more potent on O than all of last year.

Like I said in the other thread his accuracy is still out of wack, but his reads are much better. More intermediate throws and windows. Nico is finding the right players but he’s throwing past them.

I think he only gets better, especially seeing the UCLA’s line hold up more than Tennessee’s. Dude was getting sacked multiple times by NC State last year and under pressure the whole game. He’s definitely learned to take his time pre-snap more.

Nico family fukked up. You gonna get an NFL look just from being at a winning program, even if you aren't that prolific as a passer. Just hide behind the D and run game.

But now he gonna be losing a ton of games and looking bad while doing it.
He fukked up ROYALY and anyone who didn't see it in real time is a FOOL.

His father might have ruined his whole career being greedy

Gonna be A LOT of bad tape and losses in that UCLA uni :snoop:

I agree he fukked up but the recent busts out of Tennessee make me think NFL teams aren't falling for that again. Hendon Hooker, the receivers....that offense doesn't develop guys for the league.

Yup, this is a good breakdown of the system:






That part about having zero pre-snap reads for a QB to make isn’t getting any QB ready for the NFL. If someone stays in that system they’re basically guaranteeing they won’t be pro-ready and have limited experiences reading defenses.

Basically a system you can’t run in the NFL and why they kept recruiting big arm players because all they want them to do is throw downfield. I really wonder where Joe Milton may be if he went to a better QB school.

Sunseri’s system at UCLA in contrast makes far more use of pre-snap motion, shifts and protection checks for the QB to diagnose and ID both pressure and coverage. Then there are actual progressions post-snap. A legit Pro-Style offense where the QB needs to make decisions and communicate with the offense. Nico right now is reading defenses more than he ever has as a college QB. It’s probably one of the more Pro-Style offenses around in CFB.

I think he should honestly stay one more year and really unlearn any bad habits at Tennessee.
