Re: What’s people’s take on Pribula?
Drink barely trusted Cook to make those throws so I doubt he's going to trust a new guy with just as average an arm as Cook had. We'll run the ball A LOT and throw short passes. Hopefully, Norfleet is fully health and the OLine gels better than last years did (or didn't until late in the season). Bottom line is that this offense has lots of question marks and Pribula is at or near the top of the list.11WSChamps wrote: ↑01 Apr 2025 18:39 pmMy guess is that trust has to be gained as the OC the QB and receivers get comfortable with the playbook and tendencies each have.onemizzou wrote: ↑01 Apr 2025 14:04 pm"accurate comments".Barksdale's People wrote: ↑01 Apr 2025 12:48 pmGood, hopefully next time someone points out you are merely speculating you won’t confuse their accurate comments with ignorance.onemizzou wrote: ↑01 Apr 2025 12:06 pmThat's been my point from the day he committed.

I would hope ball security would always be a priority. Throwing into tight windows deep in your own territory I would think would be a tall order for 90-plus percent of college QB's.
Having confidence and being reckless are two different things.
It'll be interesting to see how much playing time Zollers gets early in the season or even late in the season if we get a significant late lead.

Tight window throws deep in your own part of the field, deep throws into coverage.
I can remember Cook making those throws in some of those comeback wins.
Granted they didn't take place on a regular basis but for the the most part the last two seasons the team wasn't in a position where they had to frequently depend on those type of high risk plays.
The offense does have question marks but for this particular discussion the QB is the focus.
Re: What’s people’s take on Pribula?
It's any throw that requires risk that Drink isn't comfortable with. Sure with a big lead he'll cut Kirby loose. But if the game is even close to being on the line no way those are going to be allowed. Now, if we're down and desperate, the risk becomes necessary. So, it will be very low risk passes and lots of runs from the RBs, receivers, and the QB.11WSChamps wrote: ↑01 Apr 2025 20:18 pmI guess I'd have to know what specific throws we're talking about.onemizzou wrote: ↑01 Apr 2025 20:01 pmDrink barely trusted Cook to make those throws so I doubt he's going to trust a new guy with just as average an arm as Cook had.

Re: What’s people’s take on Pribula?
It's amazing that Mizzou won all those close games over the last two years playing a vanilla offense and pulling on the reigns of their best players in the fourth quarter.It's any throw that requires risk that Drink isn't comfortable with. But if the game is even close to being on the line no way those are going to be allowed.
