Quote:I feel like last year the criticism of Blake was way too harsh. If you actually watched the games, he played a lot better than his numbers showed.

This year I feel like it has swung slightly too far the other way. He is playing pretty well for a second year QB, but not quite as well as his numbers indicate.

Playing from behind has inflated the yards a little.  Greg Olson having a phobia of running in the redzone has definitely bloated the passing touchdowns.

 

The year the record was set (2010), we had 26 passing TDs (23 by Garrard). Blake is on pace for 32 which is six more(duh). However, the 2010 team as a total had 40 TDs (26 passing and 14 rushing). We are currently on pace for 34 total TDs (2 rushing and 32 passing). So if we ran the ball at a normal rate, Blake would finish with around 20 TDs (34 Total TDs-14 Rush= 20 pass). 

 

20 is definitely an improvement, but not some record shattering all star season.

 

 

Wait, what?  You don't think that if we had a running game that was better that would improve our passing game and generate more points on a consistent basis?  We wouldn't have had 12 points in the first half of our last game we may have had say 24....which would have added three touchdowns.

 

The way you calculated that honestly makes no sense at all.
