I've been keeping this opinion to myself because I think when Athan went down he was like 7 for 8 and the Gophers were winning, but Tanner entered that game and immediately threw an inch-perfect dime to score the second touchdown that Athan is just not yet capable of throwing. I agree with you.

The Gophers played against 5 of the Top 10 defenses in the country this year (per SP+) (WIS, OSU, IOWA, MICH, NEB). Against Top Ten defenses: CMP: 50% YPA: 4.8 TD: 3 INT: 5 Against all other defenses: CMP: 55% YPA: 7.4 TD: 11 INT: 4 ^ When playing against 'average' competition, he looked...

What are you guys watching? He is consistently off target, late, and he can't throw 40 yards accurately. He is among the worst Minnesota QBs I've seen.

A game made even more frustrating my multiple weather delays in freezing cold rain.

The difference is that intelligent people weren't saying those things. All you have to believe for my "Gophers will be better" thesis is that they show up with basically the same team, because the schedule does get that much easier. If you believe that 19 y.o. kids learn things in a year of...

If you like watching snow football then KSU vs ISU is tied with 4 minutes remaining in a blizzard.

It's only a problem if there's a way to fix it and I haven't seen a single person throw out a realistic name. Otherwise, it's just the nature of things, and firing a coach because of a down season in this circumstance will do nothing but make it look like an unattractive job.

Quick story of Fleck's tenure: 2017: Doesn't have a QB 2018: Starts season with Annexstad and tries to roll with him until Tanner forces the issue with a ridiculous comeback win against Indiana 2019: Plays easiest schedule in country, but executes successfully 2020: COVID and hires awful...

2022 Purdue: Mo was injured Illinois: Morgan was injured PSU: Morgan was injured Iowa: Morgan was injured Unless y'all are gonna start paying players, Minnesota can't win with those injuries. They don't have enough depth. Also let's not forget that 2019 was not as good as people remember. The...

Illinois, Indiana, and Northwestern each have two QBs that played a meaningful number of snaps this year with better passer ratings than Athan https://www.espn.com/college-football/stats/player/_/group/5/table/passing/sort/QBRating/dir/desc/

Very raw first year starter at QB with multiple injuries to RB and replaced an All American center. That's gonna happen. Athan is bad. He'll be less bad next year. The only person that should be apologizing is Charlie 'Athan is a generational talent' Walters. Was pretty freaking clear that...

https://gopherhole.com/boards/threads/cbs-big-ten-strength-of-schedule-rankings-1-minnesota.111128/#post-2829247 (from June). Anyone with half a brain saw this coming.

You must be new here because I'm the same guy that was telling people that the Gophers were going to suck this year last January. They were going to have a down year. Programs like Minnesota can't just replace their best QB ever and expect to pick right back up.

Relax. Next year will be better. The team: Athan will improve The running backs will be healthier The receivers will have a another year in the system The LBs will be healthier Harbaugh will understand how to do his job better. The schedule Minnesota starts the season with a four-game home...

Loser mentality. This team needs that 15 extra practices. If they get invited then they need to go. Also, if it's in Boca, I will be there regardless.

My god you need 9 yards. Why are you throwing 20 on fourth down with a QB that can't throw accurately beyond 5?

Accuracy and arm strength are highly related. This is the same thing people used to say about Leidner's 'strong arm'. He was a noodle just like Athan.

Because he underthrows the ball! He can't get it there. That's why that keeps happening.

He wasn't hit on the first PI call.

You have no idea what you're watching if you disagree with that statement. Those PI calls have all been luck based on awful, and I mean, awful. Throws.
