Nixon had plenty of time to throw on the majority of his passing plays. stAte blitz a ton last night and we never, not once truly beat the blitz because Nixon can't throw.
If you want to defend his game as a RB I could almost understand that. But 17for 44 is absolute garbage. Especially since his 2 Ints were a puck 6 and one in the end zone where the safety had broke on the route from between the hashes before Nixon ever threw the ball. He stared his WRs down all game. That's why it was hard for them to get open. He telegraphs his passes and is not accurate. He is the worst QB we have suited up since the Stokley era.
I give you last night was not his night but I do remember TxSt game, Brooks, Davis, Brady, Manning or any QB would have gotten killed last night behind our line. Its like we cant pass block. And for god sake can we get someone to run a route. Now I will also say this either we had a lot of one player routes or Nixon locked in on one receiver and stared him down give the defense an advantage. I feel it was the latter.
Well, that is not entirely fair to say. If we were running a true option offense like Navy or Georgia Tech, he would excel in them, but in the offense we run, he will continue to be exposed against the better teams.
The worst QB we have ever sent out there as a starter was the Nick Dugas experiment of Baldwin, another athlete playing out of position.
