Agree that I'd like to see him get some snaps for a change of pace. However, I'd like for it to be more sporadic, or in short spurts. I thought that after KP got the first down on his drive in the 3rd quarter, it would have been nice to keep NIU on their heels by bringing Blake back in. Instead, we stayed with KP and NIU stuffed 2 runs, and then sacked him on 3rd down. I know hindsight is 20/20, but I'd just prefer that he see the field for 1-4 plays, and then get Decker back in there.
Looking back I agree. I thought it an odd juncture in the game to go with Palandech. That said, I didn't have much issue with it considering his earlier success.
One thing that's probably not going to change - not at this stage - is that he really only looks at his primary receiver. Only looks for somebody else when he's under duress.
Don't get me wrong Decker has his faults, but had two guys came up with catches in the endzone or Boyd makes the grab to convert that 1st down on final drive everybody would be singing his praises.
Nothing wrong with being a run heavy offense at all. But like Will said, the receivers are strength of the team. Decker played a really good game against NIU. He threw for 319 yards 2tds rushed for another 35 yards against 1int I think anybody would takes those numbers on a weekly basis. Think about it we were 2 drops in the endzone away from changing the narrative of that game. That doesn't fall on Decker. Palandech does not have the type of arm that Kap does. He also struggled with accuracy at times during camp. I think he has potential but right now Decker gives us the best chance to win. Decker has his issues no doubt, but the game he played this past Saturday should be viewed as a positive. Now if he puts together a couple of games like he had last year at BYU I could see wanting a change.
Same here I like the different dynamic he brings to the offense. I just dont think we are built offensively for him to be succesful the entire game.
