QB J.T. Barrett (B1G FOY, All American, Silver Football Award, 3x B1G QBOY, National Champion)

I love JT and everyone here knows I feel it's him that gives us the best shot next year but in saying that if JT hit half the wide open guys he's had this year he probably has another 400 yards and another 5 TD's. At least he has the right idea where to go with the ball and it's just a matter of making the throw.

I will say this for the WR's they shored up their hands (minus Corey to a extent) and they are doing a GREAT job at getting open.

Not sure if I'd go that far in the what-if game because you can't really change the results of his bad throws. However, if we're going down the path with just the bad catches, there was Marshall's fumble at the goal line on a jet sweep, Wilson's drop at the 1 against MSU, and Smith's drop against VT that would account for 3 TDs and around 150 yards off of Barrett's stat line. Thomas also had the tipped ball INT today at the goal line, a couple drops last week against Minnesota, and Wilson and Smith have also had some other lackluster outings. Might conservatively say ~250 yards worth on drops and perhaps 4 TDs.

Oh that certainly is as well. Its all part of JT learning and growing from it. I by no means think he should be perfect or hitting everyone because its just all part of his maturation

How many TD "passes" does JT have on Sweep tosses where he pitches the ball a foot forward?

Only 3-4 I think. All to Marshall. He has 33 TD passes, 16 have been to Thomas and Smith, and those are usually slants, crossing routes, or deep passes. Heuerman and Vannett have 5 and those are all downfield. Marshall has 3 downfield and 3 on the sweep tosses. Wilson has 2 downfield and maybe one on a sweep toss. All 3 of Spencer's have come on screens, right? And then Rod Smith caught a swing pass and Baugh caught a 2 yard PA pass against Kent State.
