Stanley Passing

The main criticism of Stanley is he doesn't play well in big games.
Purdue is not exactly a defensive juggernaut. With that said, he's been pretty accurate on deep balls today.

Oh, come on. Do you think you can do better than Stanley? Oh, wait ..., you're Kurt Warner. Never mind.

To be fair, he is consistently inaccurate. He has been bailed out by some great catches on poorly thrown balls even when he isn't rushed. Consistently throwing behind crossing routes is costing us turnovers and quite a bit of YAC.
He has strengths, but the bottom line is to be a quarterback at this level you have to be more accurate.
Also not good pocket awareness
That's the issue with Stanley. He makes a couple of eye popping throws and all is forgiven. For every eye popping throw he makes, he misses at least one gimme, if not 2 or 3.
I think the issue is foot speed. Stanley recognizes it but doesn't have the wheels to escape.
Awareness in general. Pocket awareness, coverage recognition, hot reads, etc.
Stanley isn’t awesome but he’s above average and serviceable. The problem is you expect and need much more out of a QB who has been given 3 years as a starter. I’m not saying you bench him but getting a 3rd year starter at QB doesn’t happen often. When it does you need that QB to play out of his mind. Stanley has not done that.
I say Stanley is average and barely serviceable.
He was very good today for a college QB. We could not run, so it is a good thing Nate played well.
Nate was not the problem today. Third down play calls were baffling. FB dive from a single back set and repeatedly going back to the WR screens that did not remotely fool Purdue even once.
This thread is nuts. Stanley is one of the primary reasons we won this game. We have no running game. Every game is basically on his shoulders. He’s a good college quarterback. He just isn’t agile in the pocket—the major limitation to his game.
Stanely played well. The pick was because the receiver did not catch it.
He has some trouble with certain throws like those slants. He seems to miss time routes running across the field and usually throws to their back shoulder. Conversely he's made good progress on those sideline deep outs. The ball he threw to ISM's one handed catch, and the one to Smith late were outstanding throws dropped in the absolute perfect place over the shoulder and right where the WR only could catch it. Its not that easy to make that throw look that perfect. I know many are on the Stanley sucks bandwagon right now, but do give him some credit when its due as well.
Or field vision, touch. and panics. Other than those issues he is great!
The pass was behind the receiver
It hit the receiver in the shoulder, in a tight window, that's good enough
forget about the missed passes, how about guys that have half the damn endzone to themselves and he doesn't even throw it to them!!
Stanley sucked today OC sucked today stanley hits sergeant down the middle that any high school QB could do it might haqve been a different game that was inexcusable for a senior QB
If our starter isn't good, we're screwed! We you going to suggest someone better or just stand there and whine?
And this was considered by most as a " Must win game", . That's not considered a big game then ?
Defense won two of those games.
No, I don't believe a game in early September vs. Iowa State is big.
Funny how it's almost an established fact that Stanley overthrows the deep ball. Yet, for 3 years he's been under-leading the crossing stuff and few people even notice.
Nate makes some nice plays for sure, but there's always a doubt he'll flub an easy one.

No.
It should never be a Big game against a 2-4 team that is w/o its 3 best players.
It hit the receiver in the shoulder. Were you watching?
I agree with those that say he throws behind the crossing routes. If he put those in the WR hands in front of him, we would probably have 30-50 more yards a game since they would have momentum going forward not backwards.
Yeah any time a QB completes 70% of his passes, he’s had a bad day.
I think we'll miss Stanley a lot next year. There will be many growing pains with breaking in a new quarterback. Whoever that QB is, there are going to be way too many fans who expect the new guy to step in and do the things Stanley did. There will be many times they are disappointed.
Well we know one thing for sure. There will be plenty of people who won't be happy, no matter what the kid does, and whoever is the backup, will be the "Fans" next favorite....
Average to below average division 1 QB.
Looks like he is afraid to throw a pick.
