After a couple decent games this year, SR is on pace for just over 3000 yards passing. If he pulls it off, it would be the first time since some guy named Seneca did it. In fact, ISU has not had 3000 as a team since 2002.
Interesting Sam Richardson Stat

Shows how anemic our offense has been during the past decade, its not as if most of those teams were particularly robust running teams either.
Stevie Hicks had a few thousand yard seasons in there and Bret Meyer ended up our all time passing leader. The Chizik years were a pile of suck though.
Also from KU game til now, 15 TDs and only 4 INTs. 7 TDs and 3 INTs this year.
Last couple of QBs have been turnover prone. Offense is definitely better when you aren't squandering opportunities.

Arnaud was our last QB who could throw more TD's than INT's. SJ and Barnett played their butts off, but SR is definitely an upgrade in the TD to turnover ratio department.
Since Bret Meyer's 19-10 TD/INT ratio in 2005, the the next best TD/INT ratio was by Arnaud in 2008. 15-10 ratio that year.
Arnaud had a 15/13 in 2009, and a 13-10 his senior year
Jantz produced 10/11 and 13/12
Barnett had 6/4 and 6/6
Sam so far has played the position far more efficiently on paper with TDs. The bar has been set pretty low in terms of consistency in YPG from the QB position. Going back to 2007, ISU threw for less than 200 yards in a game at least 7 times per year in every season, except for 2008.

Thanks, jerkyface...I was just starting to get the vomit taste out of my mouth...now it's back.
Last year when we had a QB controversy Sam had a better TD to Interception ratio, and a better QB rating than he does this year. So I guess you think that we do worse when we only use one quarterback.

I'm more interested in the only 1 win as a starter stat. Hopefully he can add on to that on Thursday.
Why don't you try playing for 3 different coaches and a bunch of different O coordinators. All while having having next to nothing for talent around you.
He really wasn't.
Was Arnaud the best qb we've had? No, but that guy would have run though a brick wall for a first down.
there is a huge difference between having the want too of running through a brick wall, and having the ability to run through a brick wall.
I like Bret, but when you have the chance to take all the snaps for all 4 years of your playing career, you better lead your school in passing statistics. Would be a little pathetic if he didn't, IMO. Rosenfels, Wallace, even Bandhauer were better QB's, but didn't have the luxury of playing that long. SBR has potential to be our best since Seneca.
It's a team game. Richardson has played very well for us. And that stat is BS as it leaves out the KU game where he is the one who carried the team to a W.
Then against WVU he outplayed Geno Smith in a ridiculously windy atmosphere. The bowl vs Tulsa, he was sick. You can either take that as a legit reason or not, either way that's the only game he has really been questionable, other than maybe the 1st half vs Iowa.
Point is, our problems lay outside the QB position, which is very nice to know because it is the hardest position to fill.
Totally agree with the first part...starting to wonder if kicker is the real answer for the second part.
