OUInsider - Owen Field

As a guy who started 17 college football games at QB, I can tell you that there is no QB that throws well from the prone position. Pressure impacts everyone. The key is to have a supporting cast that prevents that from happening.

Is it just me, But I seem to see a number of designed pass plays each Saturday, in other games, that creates confusion and allows receivers to get open easier. Quick crossing patterns, etc. that doesn't require a lot of time but effective. I believe most of our patterns require the receiver to read the defense. Could this be causing our "younger" receivers some problems with getting open quickly?

wow amazin all the bashers of laundry, he can do no right according to some of u bashers, just like the jerk i was sittin next to in his little pink shirt sat night, bad pass and he is cussin our student athlete, such class, i just wonder how the laundry bashers are gonna feel next year when we dont have him and he is playin in the nfl...the ones that constantly complain andou can never do right, why even support the team or are u just on here to bash our team, there are plenty of seats in stooolwater

I have yet to hear anyone say Landry is a terrible qb. Who is saying that?

OU has to be one of the worst places to play OB because of unrealistic fan expectations. Landry is about to become the career leader for victories by an OU QB.

The QB that he is about to pass received death threats during his playing days from OU “fans” that did not think he was a good enough player.

I have always thought that this is an interesting stat to be tracked in a team sport. I guess it just points out how people view the position.

One of the most often posted criticism of Landry is that he will not be a good Pro QB.
I do not believe a player’s projected or actual Pro career should effect how the player is viewed as a college athlete.

There have been many excellent college players that for one reason or another did not have exemplary Pro careers. So what! They were still very good college players and should be appreciated as such.

I also believe that the majority of OU fans do appreciate Landry’s and the team's accomplishments.

I don't understand why stats are used to show how good Landry is. He's played a full season longer than any other qb under stoops! What do you expect???

What you really have to compare are the AVG stats. Where does he rank in the following stats?

Completion %
Qb rating
yards per completion
Td/int ratio

These are the only fair stats to compare.

I only get to watch on TV, and I'm not sure I can justify my opinions, but it's always seemed to me that pro coaching will develop his strengths into a pro QB. He's got a lot of the physical tools they look for. The specific thing that repeatedly frustrates me is his tendency to throw high. That's a matter of technique that should have been fixed by now.

And I'm not going to comment on his Inner States in case he corrects his technique, finds me and beats me to death with thrown footballs.
