Eli - thanks for the chart.  Not related to the topic but we give up too many sacks (and we throw too many interceptions).   Just points out that we need to improve the offensive line.

As you say much of that was not his fault.  O Line gave up too many sacks and Jeff was pressured a LOT.  So why hold it against him?

And no interceptions and 800 rushing yards and 11 rushing TDs.   It's not apples to apples. 

The point is to get ball down the field... Rushing or throwing is immaterial IMO. Even if you add in his rushing yards cuff still put gained him and put up more tds. Jeff had 10 int not 30.

 

Not buying it... Monmouth kid had 9 and and double digit less tds. Cuff got screwed...

Have either Mencer or Green been invited to any post-season all-star games?  I have to imagine at least Green has a good shot of getting an NFL sniff.  He's great at contested balls which is a huge thing in the NFL these days, plus he's got decent speed.  Mencer's size might be a concern, but he's tenacious. 

I know scouts were sniffing around earlier in the season.

Of course no JU.  Who do they think threw all those balls to Green?

Don't care what anyone says. JUC did more with less and had a far greater impact on offense.
