| Ryan Mallett sucks
OK so I know he's a freshman, I know he made 3 touchdown passes ( one of them an outstanding one in fact) and I know there's a steep learning curve especially in big games, but this man just plain freaks out in front of a rushing defence. His passes are out of depth, his calculations are awry and his rushing gets us in trouble more often than not. Not to mention the constant fumbling, sacking, the insane tendency to be intercepted and inability to truly realize the situation. I mean did anyone see what he did when we were down 23-14 and had just won back the ball? First play, an intercepted pass. Bang. There went the hard work.
Let's not be too gentle here, he has enough game time experience and with Henne being in and out he shouldve realized that football matches aren't won with sporadic gems, you have to buckle down, consistently make your plays and be versatile enough to make the big moves when they matter. Unfortunately as promising as Mallett is, he lacks these skills making next season look less promising by every second.
