![]() I made $50 on that play. Fans at the game were saying it was Nick Jones (they had switched numbers so the confusion was understandable), I bet the guy next to me it was Byrd. #FreeMoney

Obviously, the answer is no because we must protect the negative opinions of those posters who have labeled Shaw as a weak-armed running QB. Or, if the answer is yes, it means those loudly-stated opinions about Connor's weak arm lack credibility. |

![]() I'm shocked, dismayed, and chagrined. I have apparently gone 59 years mistaking what "underthrown" means. Gonna email my old coach, who apparently always falsely accused me based on this new info, and link him to this thread for his edification. Apologies are in order.
Thanks. |

![]() byrd definitely made an adjustment a little bit on the play, but that is not an indication of an under-thrown ball. under-thrown balls make wr's stop or damn near stop and wait on them. as spurt indicated early in this thread, every long throw see's the wr making adjustments on the run. byrd never had to actually wait on the ball, he just made a small adjustment and took it in stride into the endzone. ellington had to wait a good bit longer on the game winner, but for some reason that one isn't being dissected in detail like this one is. hmmmmmm. interesting.
either way, it was a great call, pass, catch and moment in an exciting down to the wire bowl game.

Yeah that's the one Gruden mentioned how strong Connor's arm was.

![]() It had the same impact that it had in the ECU and uga games. I wish we could hit on that play at least once every game. I don't think Shaw can overthrow Byrd from the 50 yard line so I just wish he would throw it a little earlier. I'm not going to criticize his arm any more, but I do think he needs to throw it a little quicker.

![]() Byrd is an enigma to me. Makes that catch but the ball Dylan threw to him went through his hands and bounced off his helmet. I thought he should have caught that one but it was tough. Made a good first down catch and run on the game winning drive though.

![]() I think that we will see the Oline take a good step forward in the next year as they get older and more experienced. Our depth will also get better as all the frosh get a
spring under their belts. then we have another good class coming in next fall. To me we will have the best depth on the line that I can ever remember. If we do not improve considerably in the next yr, I will be very disappointed. |

IT'S MY GAMEFACE !

Was the ball Tajh Boyd threw to Nuk Hopkins on the 4th and 16 that eventually was the play that won Clemson the CFB short ? By a good bit, but Hopkins fell backwards, caught the football, and made the play that eventually won them the game..... Short passes, overthrown passes, and balls thrown behind the intended target are as much a part of football as snapping the ball to start the play. No matter how good a QB is, they do not throw the ball to WRs that hit them in stride or between the number the majority of times they throw the ball. ... .I just find it absolutely rediculous that we have a handfull of fans that spend three four and sometime five or more pages of a thread talking about a pass or two that Connor threw short or long, or that Dylan threw short or long to make a case that the other is a better passer ALL I CARE ABOUT IS DID THEY WIN THE GAME ? I'll take a win with a QB that was off target all game long, but had WRs make the plays when it counts, than to accept a loss with a QB who was between the numbers every time he threw a ball.
