That's not even surprising. Who does that include? Ian Book? Maybe Kizer? Those are the only QBs who could've thrown 100+ times in the NFL

Kizer was really THAT inaccurate at ND? Know he was far from perfect but damn.

Kizer had to force it pretty hard in 2016. Tried to do too much at times. He’s one of those who probably would’ve benefitted from another season in college (and maybe wouldn’t have landed with the Browns). But none of that really has anything to do with Tommy Rees.

60.7% at 695 college attempts.

Book was 63.8%
Yeah, but the graph isn't about completion percentage. It's a stat PFF tracks called "Accurate throw percentage" which likely tries to count the accuracy of all throws, not just the completions.

PFF has a lot of useful stats but they also have a lot that are sus. I think this one likely goes in the sus category. Kizer wasn't that inaccurate overall.

10-4.

I still feel that good old fashioned counting stats can tell a good part of the story, though.

Anyone remember Kizer's lone pass vs Texas in 2015? I remember thinking after that pass, please do not let Malik get injured. It was one of the worst throws i've ever seen on a simple pass.

Then Kizer balled out when Malik did get injured.

I don't, but I remember how much Kizer stunk up the Spring Game that year. He was close to quitting football after that, sitting somewhere around 3rd on the depth chart with Malik and Golson both ahead of him. It's a lesson to anyone that the Spring Game doesn't mean much of anything. For every Spring Game star like Junior Jabbie that doesn't pan out there's a Deshone Kizer that flips the script in the fall.

That 2016 season was such an incredible waste. They played 2 ranked teams all season and went 4-8.

Yea that was a turd of a season. A lot of fans wanted Kelly sent packing. Certainly good reason to as that kind of record was a major letdown. But thankfully they didn't fire Kelly and he got ND back into contention. Now Freeman needs to get some 10+ win seasons so we are always in a Top 10 / Top 15 position.

Tommy Rees at Bama is like Red bagging groceries after he got out of Shawshank.

Saban: "You don't need to ask me every time you want to poach a player. Just go."

Rees: "Six years I was asking permission to recruit anyone I wanted. I can't squeeze a drop without say so."

Surround him with the guys at Alabama and maybe the 2021 Miami version returns?

He was inconsistent and decision making in key moments was pretty bad. Saban and Rees putting him around all that talent probably fixes a lot of things from the get go. Then he's getting better coaching on top of that.

Tommy and Alabama’s bagmen are trying to poach Tyler Van Dyke from Miami.


He’s not in the portal yet.
Really surprised they didn't go harder after a Qb before the spring. Their situation is not good especially by their standards and their skill positions leave something to be desired as well.
