Is less than 60% completion pct what to expect?
- Thread starter suhnami

When I read posts like this I just shake my head at the computer. Any idea how hard it is to start your first game in that atmophere at that level and game speed. Add good throws that were dropped and imo that was an impressive start.
No...Lee made some difficult throws and many of those throws were downfield. If everything was 10 yards and in I would be very disappointed but he stretched the field far more than I thought he would.
One more completion and he was at 62.5, two more and its 66% Too small a sample size to make a huge deal about it.
I'm not too worried, but I'm not the guy to ask. Completion percentage is important, the zero interceptions are more important to me. I haven't seen a passing chart, I would hope Langsdorf studies Lee's passing chart and adjusts (and/or provides coaching) accordingly.
No offense to the OP, but man, what a difference a year makes. Armstrong is tossing 45 % and people love the guy. A new starter that hasn't played game football in 2 years goes 60 % and we are asking if that is what we should expect? 
Have you posted anything good about the game last night? Seriously, have you?
Balanced offense, over 200 yards rushing and passing, no turnovers, 192 for Bryant, 2 TD passes for TL, a KO return for a TD, 2 picks, and I don't think you have posted anything positive.
If you have, my apologies... I just don't remember it.

I thought they should have gone deep much more often than they did. I think that was more Langsdorf than Lee though. I don't think we can expect to go deep once or twice a quarter to keep the short game opened up.
If we are comparing QB's, I thought they both did a nice job. One had swag, the other did not. Comparing a 60% to a 68% completion percentage would seem difficult, except the guy with the higher percentage threw twice as many more balls.. That is pretty impressive. He did have 2 interceptions though. If I had to pick a QB from the two, based on only that performance, for sure I'm going with Hansen. That guy was a baller. Maybe this is the point the OP is trying to make?

Of course he would take the QB with the lower QB rating that doesn't play for Nebraska.
It is true that Lee has a little better rating. I was trying to be fair to both. Think whatever you like. I do think a valid argument can be made for choosing the other QB. It should be a bit of a wake up call that some sun belt team's QB came in an at times looked more impressive than the guy you all have been hyping for months on end.
Check. 59 is OK. I thought he might be over 60, given all the hype, but it is a small sample. He led us to plenty of points. I was more worried about a few dangerous throws than pct, but there weren't even a huge number of those.
Dangerous throws are "NFL type windows" when they are caught. Lee had some fantastic throws that weren't caught. I can think of 3 right of the top of my head (Hoppes in the end zone early. Reimers got turned around, JD missed one too.). There is your 68% right there.
Clearly Lee should be on the bench against the ducks. POB and Gebbia should alternate possessions until one of them hits 70pct on a drive and doesnt get sacked.
For what seemed like the first ten minutes, our WR's looked like the group that didn't play for two years. Lee spun the shit outta that ball several times, that our WR's couldn't catch to save their life.
The point wasn't the drops, the point was with such a small sample size the pct would fluctuate greatly with 1 less completion or 1 more completion.
Nah, you all are playing the 'what if' game. If the refs don't call off that TD catch of theirs that was then punched out and If their receiver doesn't drop the ball near the end, then they get the W. You can't play the what if game, because it's not based in reality.

I was going to say this. Hoppes dropped one in the end zone and spielman dropped another easy one. He should have finished with three tds and no INT and 66%
Did anyone get a glimpse of Obrien on the sidelines? We didn't play well enough to get him any snaps but maybe he at least took the opportunity to take some snaps under center or make some tosses while the crowd was amped up. Maybe he will get the opportunity to get some snaps this week
My goodness nikki youve gone full retard. And to think I had liked a few of your posts in the past.
Ark qb did a great job....but no. Just. No.
Lee looked great and arguably played a tougher scheme.
Oh and are you Disappointed in our crap defense? Cuz its either their qb is great or our d is bad...cant have both man.
He also threw several away to avoid sacks or a potential int. Completion % is only part of the story.
so what's your point? Would you have rather he tried to force balls in like our last 2 QBs? He might have completed a couple more and maybe had an int. Then his completion percentage would have been better. That doesn't make him a better QB.
No INT, no YOLO bombs. To me, that trumps a "concerning" 59% completion percentage.
Lee looked NFL to me. One play, didn't get the desired result. Come back next play and make it happen. Play after play. He wasn't phased. If Oline improves he's going to shred opponents. Not to mention some drops that were right on target. Lindsey looks so explosive. He'll get better. Tre and Wilbon were great, too.
I'll think the Arky State qb is really good. I wouldn't take home over Lee. Tanner just looked comfortable leading this team. Very happy with our qb play.

Along with Arkie State's numerous drops, the TD that was waved off when the Big Ten expert felt it counted, the fumble on the punt return that was inexplicably called dead, and the dropped TD pass on the last play i can guarantee you Arkie is playing that "what if" game more than us.
However, it doesn't matter. That's a game for losers.
Arky State's QB kind of reminded me of Texas Tech QB's. System QB's capable of throwing in a timing route system completing a lot of short passes and letting your WR do the work.
That pass on the last play was illegally touched. That receiver was way out of bounds in the end zone before coming back in.
I have to disagree. If TL had thrown for the same 68 passes equivalent to the opponent, he would have passes for 504 yards I will take that 7.4 yards per pass all day every day. That is still 40 of 68 and a great 59% or about 19% more than what we have become accustomed to. Great game GBR and one heck of a show from TL.
Lee is easily the better QB. Hansen threw wide open 5 yard passes all night.
