Nah. Mitchell and padron at least threw touchdown passes before departing[/quote]

Has Hicks thrown a TD pass yet?[/quote]






I think the stats I saw on the first drive were 2 TD's 5 picks.[/quote]

I suppose the better question is to ask is, "Has Hicks thrown more passes in the end zone to his teammates or to his opponents?"

I thought Hicks looked decent but he's a pick waiting to happen. You could see it coming all game. WR made some good catches and Sutton is a beast
I thought 6 or 7 wins was possible but with Hicks I think 3 or 4 may be the ceiling.

He's the only healthy scholarship player at qb. Sink or swim - we are rolling with him this year. All you can do is hope for improvement against AAC defenses.

If they are going to leave him in the pocket, Simpson is more accurate and they should just use him at QB.

Hicks has been inaccurate every time I see him. The coaches absolutely love him though. I want to trust the coaches, but they don't even call the game in a way that will help him succeed.

He was the best QB in the spring game and at one of the practices I went to. Take both with a grain of salt because it was 3rd against 3rd. But if your QB can't hit open receivers next man up. You have to at least try.

"Looked decent"? I believe you have damned him with faint praise.

Not ready to put Hicks in the Bo Levi at SMU area nor am I saying the offense is painful to watch when Hicks operates it but Simpson may be worth a try here and there just to see how he does.

All in all he was 19/35 244 and 2 ints. That is decent, but not much more. Couldn't string it together into drives. Just random good throws here and there

Has Hicks thrown a TD pass yet?

Hicks threw that 88 yard TD pass to Sutton in the UNT game.
