Considering that this is Football majority (with sprinkles other sports) board and tigerdroppings covers bascially everything in social media, I wouldn't look too much into the users online.

It's all about quality over quantity.

Also I assume that the number online also refers to the website, not just the forum.

Yikes....Down Big fellas!! I wasn't slamming IE, I visit IE 259847895720485 times a day!

 

[CanadianIrishFan306]

Anyone know what his stats were for this season?

No kidding. It would be like a cage full of lions all trying to kill each other.

Could you imagine the gameday threads?

GBDomer - based on your earlier post, are you hearing we may lose him (not that we had him) to LSU?

No, no he might visit LSU. I asked a couple LSU guys and they have heard nothing on it so i was missinformed.

Thanks. You da man....

 

[Cali_domer]

. FYI tigerdroppings covers pretty much all the SEC. They have fans from every school. Hell I post there(One of the couple ND fans on there).

 

[Dacian_Irish]

This is confusing.. I thought he wanted to stay close to home. Isn't that why he committed to IU?

 

[TerryTate]

Moreso to play with his brother

 

[woolybug25]

So I take it his visit wasn't a lock?

127/240 2517yrds 28TD 4INT 53% Completion 193.62ypg in 13 games. He played 14 games though, these were just the updated ones I seen.

Do not like.

His TD:INT ratio is excellent, though.

 

[BeauBenken]

His TD:INT ratio is excellent, though.

Knowing how his last game went, my guess is that that stat is more due to his teammates.

Over 10 yds/attempt stands out to me, too. I don't follow much high school football, so I don't have much to compare that to, but it seems excellent.

 

[NDdomer2]

The attempts per interception ratio is outstanding. 1 int every 60 attempts. Notre Dame's current ratio is 1 int every 33.4 throws. Kiel would only have 7 int on the season.

Different competition...

 

[woolybug25]

If you watch his games, it is evident that his completion percentage is not due to missing receivers all the time. What you should look at is the fact that his throws average over 10 yards per completion, which means he is throwing downfield vs dink/dunk offenses that provide high completion percentages but are glorified handoffs. Tie the avg completion yardage with his great TD-Int ratio, and a reasonable person could make some assumptions about his game.

Completion percentage is one of the most bizarre stats. For instance, Tim Tebow had a 66.4 completion percentage at Florida when he ran a running spread. The types of throws he made were either short, spread the field horizontally, type throws or he would throw long flag routes built off of single coverage that would appear from teams trying to cheat safeties to protect against the run. Bottom line, Tebow left college with a great completion percentage and now has a career NFL percentage of 46.9. A number so bad, that the Broncos have now resorted to running a running spread in the NFL. Fox only let him throw 8 times against KC this year.

Kiel has a super quick release and can stretch the field vertically without giving up costly interceptions (wouldn't that be nice right now?), but is a physical runner that will not hesitate to break the pocket if all of his reads are covered and willing to run the read option as well. Good decision maker, physical runner, great arm, quick release, competitor. He is everything we are looking for in a QB prospect.

P.S..... Peyton Manning had a career 59.4 completion percentage in high school. With that percentage he won the Louisiana Class 2A Most Valuable Player twice and Gatorade Circle of Champions National Player of the Year. Then proceed to tear sh!t up in college, got picked 1st in the NFL draft and then become one of the best QB's of all time. So don't try to convince me that completion percentage gives a clear picture of the talent of a high school player.

Different competition...

auber.... ya know I love ya, man... but sh!t..... I think we are all well aware that Gunner is not playing the same level of competition as Rees. Gunner plays in high school and Rees is the qb of Notre Dame. Please give Capt Obvious his cape back.

Wow, that is frightening low completion percentage.

 

[aubeirish]

Point taken...

 

[woolybug25]

[t3hjc]

Kiel completed 68% of his passes the last two seasons. If those numbers are correct, there were probably other contributing factors this season. You don't just become an inaccurate passer.

Nope, just did and it makes sense.
