Kyle Padron

[Mestengo]

Will all watch the game this week and hope for change.

[Bergermeister]

I'm Just going to go ahead and say he is not getting better.

[SMUSportsTalkNow101]

Gotta think about JJ McDermott if Padron has a poor game against Tulane. I do not believe he will, but if he does, go with McDermott for some real possesions and see what he has.

[George S. Patton]

Run the football, dammit!

I hate this offense.

[SMUSportsTalkNow101]

Or make accurate passes to open receivers.

I'm blind.

[Nacho]

after we beat tulane you guys will be happy again.

[Dukster]

Let's see, he's 1 TD pass from leading the entire Div 1 qbs in TD passes. He's 1 or 2 in the conference in passing efficiency, and he is in the top 10 in the country in passing yards. Nag, he's not getting better. Having to replace 5 starters from last years bowl team, I am surprised he's accomplished what he's already done. The discussion shouldn't be about replacing the qb, rather, it should be focused on how we can improve the entire team's performance. Playing the backup, as good as he is, still doesn't provide the offensive potential that Kp brings. His running ability combined with his pass game adds versatility SMU has never had.

Looks good on paper

[sbsmith]

Or make accurate passes to open receivers.

It's amazing how bad some of his throws are, he really lacks touch and accuracy on short passes.

[SMU1523]

Let's see, he's 1 TD pass from leading the entire Div 1 qbs in TD passes. He's 1 or 2 in the conference in passing efficiency, and he is in the top 10 in the country in passing yards. Nag, he's not getting better. Having to replace 5 starters from last years bowl team, I am surprised he's accomplished what he's already done. The discussion shouldn't be about replacing the qb, rather, it should be focused on how we can improve the entire team's performance. Playing the backup, as good as he is, still doesn't provide the offensive potential that Kp brings. His running ability combined with his pass game adds versatility SMU has never had. It's so easy to blame the qb. Most novices do.

Good point(s), but he does need to get rid of the ball quicker. Every game I have on my DVR I have re-watched and that seems to be the problem every time. It is not just me that thinks that. If you listen to ESPN analyst, Rod Gilmore's commentary against TCU, he says several times that Padron needs to get rid of the ball quicker. June's QB's will always put up freakishly high numbers (Ex. Timmy Chang and Colt Brennan). I have not seen one game this season that even compares to Padron's performance at the Hawaii Bowl. Including his 460 passing yds in a single game.

Zach Line has been a freak of nature this season. He has really bailed us out offensively all season. If we get our offensive chemistry together with the passing game and if Line keeps running hard, then I believe we can expect another huge blowout bowl victory, even if it is the Liberty Bowl (C-USA vs. SEC).

Even though Padron has been somewhat disappointing, don't give up on him. Soon enough, it all should start to click.

[Mestengo]

I'm a fan of all the kids. And I have not given up on Kyle or any other player.
I will prove it by risking my like this weekend in El Paso

[Tailgate#33]

His stats this year in 8:
177/301, 59%, 2136, 21 TD 8 INT


Not bad at all for a 2 star recruit and only a Sophmore. Not like he was the top QB in the state. He is good...not great. I would assume he gets a little better but he is near his peak.

If you want Joe Montana you are going to be waiting a very long time. LOL

No Montana, but a Colt Brennan would be nice.

So do you think he will remain the Starter the next two years, or our coaching staff is good enough to train & recruit his replacement? Remember it takes a year to pick up this offence. Unless Kyle implodes I see him starting next year and then challenged big time his senior year for the spot.
