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

Cyler Miles is a top 10 QB... huh?

    252 attempts for only 1880 yards screams, "no confidence in you."

    Miles' YPA is 7.46, which isn't bad at all.

    It's his fumbles and not seeing open WRs have been his problems.

    But he didn't lose a fumble last night and showed better decisiveness. His arm strength, accuracy, and velocity all seemed better as well.

    With all that said, he's still probably not good enough to compete for the Pac-12 championship in 2015 or 2016.

    I realize non of his completions count... but, that Sophomore QB?... the QB who is in his first season as a starter, who was banned from spring and summer... who is in his first season in a new system with a new coach... who lost his best receiver to the defense? well...

    According to the NCAA, Cyler Miles as of this moment, ranks as the #10 returning QB in the nation in passing efficiency. I know... bad realease, too dumb, can't run... etc., etc., but fax are fax.

    Where is he in yards?

    Most of Miles' passes are short, safe passes, which means a high completion percentage and high passing efficiency. He also doesn't throw interceptions in these situations, which factors into the passing efficiency.

    I am curious how many yards he has in relation to the other returning QBs or what his numbers look like for intermediate and deep passes.
    Connor Halliday is still #1 in yards.

    Hope this helps.

    I believe he is a serviceable QB.

    If he had Sanky, Polk, or even a top 4 PAC 12 back ... he could get the job done.

    The defense has been strong enough he could play a Trent Dilfer or Rob Johnson style role in winning a championship.

    The problem is he currently has to put the team on his back ... and the game moves waaaay too fast for him on to do that.
