This was not just a bad day at QB. AK8 is sitting at 51% completion, 1 TD, 3 INT and 148yd/gm passing average for the season. I was hard core in the "don't overreact on Athan" train. However, 3 games is enough of a sample size to start drawing conclusions. He is BAD. Close throws he whips it way too hard and there have been a number of drops due to that. Throwing very poorly resulting in tipped passes that end up in INT.
Kramer looked good in the spring game, but he's shown his limitations. This is a spot where I'd like to see Knuth get some play in the next two weeks where we SHOULD get a lead. However, since he left it's basically Athan or bust. There is zero chance PJ throws Viotto out there even for a series or two. So at this point it's keep throwing him out there and hope for a different result. Not exactly confidence inspiring.
At the very least, if they get a lead against NU and UL, I want to see AK8 keep on throwing it. Give him some easy throws when you're up by 14 to give him some confidence. Running the ball 50 may be the best way to win that week, but you may lose the war in spite of winning the battle.
