A good Ross Fulton breakdown from 11W

Meyer joked about Guiton not having enough arm strength, but then pointed out it was a joke. I'll take what I see on the field over what some "analyst" says. A guy with a weak arm doesn't throw the ball 60 yards in the air with accuracy. Granted, we haven't gotten to see much of Miller this year, but his reading of progressions has never been that great either.

I'd also have to say that I will take Ross Fulton's word over anyone on here's eye test any day.

Guiton throws a very nice deep ball, however, where he can put air under the football.

se-alum;1503083 wrote:Found a study on Cam Newton. It took 2m/s higher velocity to throw the ball 50 yards, as opposed to 20 yards.

If anyone thinks there's going to be multiple undefeated teams this year please look at the last couple years. It's not happening. OSU goes undefeated they're in the BCSNCG.

Portland State's QB had great numbers against California, with Portland State's Players! Can you imagine what this QB would do with OSU talent on offense? Maybe he should transfer to OSU so HE can start over Braxton. I mean, he is a hot hand.
