Rocklin's QB has D1 offers and was one of the best soph prospects in Norcal last year. How can he not throw? What am I missing here? Oak Ridge has no passing game. NO argument here on that front but anybody saying Rocklin can't throw is dead wrong. Regardless I don't see the Thunder winning but it won't be becuase of their QB.
Far too many baseless claims are casually thrown around this forum. Differing opinions are fine. But if someone is going to make these types of statements, at least provide something of substance to support the craziness.
Even if "play action" is all this person thinks they've seen from Rocklin through 3 games, in what way does that mean they can't do anything else? Even struggling against Folsom tonight doesn't prove a thing.
If the statement was "Rocklin has shown to be more of a run-oriented team through 3 games" then provided the evidence of nearly twice as many rush attempts as pass attempts --- good, great, grand, wonderful. No problem.
But to conclude and suggest that they lack something simply because a 3-0 team hasn't really had to show or rely upon it is a classic example of one-dimensional thinking.
While a QB averaging 175 pass yards and 2 TD passes per game through 3 games -- along with his top receiver averaging 73 yards and a TD reception per game -- doesn't scream "greatest show on turf", it clearly doesn't support the statement being made here, either.
Here's something interesting:
Reeve Slone: 3 games, 33 for 47, 524 yards, 6 TD's
Ryder Lyons: 3 games, 44 for 61, 614 yards, 6 TD's
Mavrik Collins: 9 rec, 220 yards, 4 TD rec
Jameson Powell: 21 rec, 243 yards, 4 TD rec
Considering the negligible difference, does this mean Folsom doesn't have a passing game either? SMH.
