I do not claim to be an expert on concussions. But rocco has not been the same since that hit he took in Cincinnati. Before that he made every throw. Since then his throws have not even in the same zip code of the recievers. I know hes a gamer but i really think that something is just not same
Rocco has not been the same since Cincy!

It’s impossible to know. hopefully he’s actually okay and isn’t hiding an issue / hopefully the coaches would take action if it seemed like things weren’t okay.
People gave me a hard time for voicing my concerns back then, so really hoping there aren’t actually any lingering issues that should have been handled differently by forcing him to rest.

Not sure if he needs time to heal or what but just seems hard for me to believe the guys behind him can possible be worse than he has the last two weeks. Some of the worst QB play we've seen in a long, long time.
I think Rocco is more the QB we saw the last two years and less the QB we saw the first few weeks. Not that he's bad, just that he's not necessarily the NFL talent some thought.
Not sure what it is, but these last four games he has been horrible, now his receivers are not helping him, but again today, passes high or behind the receiver. When was the last time he hit a guy in stride to allow him to run. The play where the TE got hurt, he led the guy right into the tackle. A quality QB does not make that throw, to protect the receiver.
I don't think I've seen a game from him where he is overthrowing his receivers so much and some just plain bad throws. Gotta feel bad for him.
Agree. Facts don't lie. Before UC, 7 TDs, 2 Int (although 5 TDs were the first two games). UC and on, 4 TDs, 5 Ints with 2 pick 6's.
Something definitely off. I really think its in his head as well. This whole team is mentally fragile.

This might be karma for when the offense was trying to keep Rocco's TD pass record going late against Arizona.
Even most of his completions have been bad throws. He's leaving a lot of rac yards bc receivers are having to adjust to his poor throws.
As fans we are looking harder at the margins, I suppose. If the defense stops the run his performance was adequate. And I am not saying it was the defenses fault. It was a team effort.
He’s definitely struggling. There are open guys out there.
If he’s not capable of making basic throws, it might be time to bring someone else in. Love Rocco but some of his throws aren’t within 2 yards of open receivers.
Last week first play of the game.
Lots of people here haven’t been the same since cincy
They need to sit him- for his long term benefit-and let the young guys play for the rest of the season. Make up something, but he is hurting the team.
Very true, and how many after that? The difference between the good QB and the great QB is being consistent and making the throws over and over. We are nine games into the season, and Rocco has been up and down more often than not, and it started over in Ireland, horrible the first half, great the second. ISU is not talented enough to win the game without scoring twenty or so points a game, in the league we play.

People might disagree with this, that last play I watched it a few times. I initially thought sowell made a poor play, but the ball was thrown so poorly he had to adjust and it threw him off balance in order to catch it. Good throw and that's a first down.
