Rocco has not been the same since Cincy!

[xboxfever]

Seems like he’s holding the ball and slow on decision make. Might have a confidence issue

He locks on to one receiver, and opposing coaches have caught on to that and taught there players to defend it. When you stare down one guy, you are easy to defend.

I noticed that a lot today, other options running wide open and he doesn't see it.

Boy I hope not, he has started a lot of football games for us and played at a high level for the coaching staff to not notice something as elementary as Rocco not going through his progressions.
Something is wrong with him, every decision he makes seems slower than it was at the start of the season. There were two or three times today that he had a hole to scramble, and just kept trying to extend the play to throw the ball instead of just putting his down and scrambling for 5 yards to keep the drive going and on schedule.

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.

Not sure anyone would disagree with this.

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

Agree, but not having 2 nfl receivers probably contributing as well

Higgins and Noel hid Rocco’s flaws

Once teams figure this out, and you can't adjust, it's bad. Real bad. See Kaepernick.

I'll be over Macho Grande before I'm over Cincy.

Surely you can’t be serious.

Surely you can’t be serious.

I am serious, and stop calling me Shirley.

 

[Freebird]

First they ruined chili and now Rocco.

 

[Diggame]

This is is it right here. He got bailed out by Higgins and Noel so much

Having those two around certainly didn't hurt Rocco!

I aways thought Rocco was a good qb. He's had good results. Not so much lately. Been wrong before

 

[Diggame]

I was saying last year that Rocco with those two should and could have done so much more. I thought before we had an issue not getting any quality WRs but now I don't know what can fix this

 

[Cyclonepride]

Rocco is a very, very good quarterback who is struggling right now.. He doesn't have the receivers that he had last year, and after trying to force some things to make something happen, he's lost his confidence. He'll get it back

More than the best season in school history?

More than the best season in school history?

The best season with no OU or Texas on the schedule or in conference?

Hmm...he's got 2 great tight ends, and 2 good running backs. Offense line is best it's been since I can't remember. I got nothing

We only played them 2 on 2 off (both in same year or neither in same year) when B12 was 12 teams.

 

[danvillecyclone]

he was “off” at Arky State before that.

Saw Arky State up close and personal.

Also saw the hit at Cincy in person. Probably 30 yards away. It was vicious. I would say he’s not 100% but not lower than 95%.

Has he been “worse” since Cincy?

I think it’s a product of all kinds of factors and it’s very perplexing. Hit in Cincy, bad but I think it’s not the end all be all.
