Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Anyone else loony enough to...

think Cyler has a breakout year for 2015
barring any catastrophic injuries or fist fights?

I was on the TW should start bandwagon since Stanford but have seen some progress and assertiveness not visible early in the year with Miles. Specifically in decision making and running with the football.

Not a world beater but a poor man's Tui.

I see the struggles of this year as a motivating factor during the off season of pressing.

Tell me I am crazy or FS. I can take it.

    I don't think Miles is the guy for the reason topdawgnc gives. Unfortunately the other two guys we've seen this year aren't the guy so far for similar reasons (well, plus the Swede's scatter arm). I really don't know where things are going at QB. Miles isn't "the" guy, but he's the only guy so far.

    Throwing the ball on time and on target......
    - Great QB - 80-90% of the time
    - Good QB - 70-80% of the time
    - Average QB - 60%-70% of the time

    IMO, Cyler is an average QB, save for his ability to run. However, his inability to run the offense quickly and his crappy ball security issues offset anything he does with his legs. He is what he is and has been since HS. Look at his senior year HS stats. Far from impressive. He is a prime example of an overrated HS QB by the scouting services based on his performance as a sophomore. Right now, he may be the best we have, so we have to run with it.

    As for a poster or two who watched a bit of Browning's junior year Hudl film, I'd encourage you to watch the whole thing. It was one of the most impressive QB videos I've seen. His ball was thrown on time and accurately over and over and over. And oh by the way, he has 64 TDs to only 4 interceptions with 3,946 yards this year through 11 games, playing for the #5 ranked HS team in the country. Miles senior year.....he threw 14 TDs vs. 8 interceptions with 1,354 yards in 9 games. Apples and oranges

    If you blitz him it's a sure positive play for your defense.

    Browning looks good and his stats are impressive, but there have been tons of high school QB's who put up huge numbers to struggle or never play in college. I think he will be good, but comparing high school stats is pretty futile.

    Miles won the Army All American MVP after his senior year. He won two state championships and threw 20 TD's and 2 INT's his junior year. He was basically as highly regarded as Browning with a lot of impressive offers. Williams and Lindquist were highly regarded as well.

    To the OP, I don't think Miles will ever be great, but I can see a way he becomes a good QB with a full off season an Spring Ball. I don't think he is as bad as some here think he is.
