Have any proof otherwise?
Well. They got one of the best receivers and running backs in the portal. Their presumed starting QB scores 14 points in the second half against Wisconsin. Granted, there is very little sample size with Pribula. But there is certainly no evidence Mizzou declines to an Iowa level offense. Is this how you react between starting QBs all the time? The overreaction is hilarious.
Pribula is a running QB that drink won't trust to throw fiendish so yes we're trending toward Iowa offense.
When did he say he doesn’t trust pribula, the $1.5M QB, to pass the football?
You don't read very well, I said he won't trust him. Pribula will be an average passer like Cook and if the OLine doesn't come together quickly then it'll be run, run, run, pass, run, run, run, pass.
Nope, it’s not my reading that’s a problem. You said drink won’t trust him. Therefore, in order to have such a take on the brand new guy who hasn’t thrown a pass, he must have said it at some point. Otherwise, you literally have no idea of Drinks opinion of pribulas passing ability. You’re just stating nonsense, as you normally do. Nothing new. Same ol’ same ol’ from onemizzou
woofy, proof that ignorance is bliss.
Except in reality everyone but the Penn St. coaches are pretty ignorant about what kind of talent Pribula has at this point. And no one has any idea how it translates to 4 quarters worth of football on a fall Saturday with Missouri. I did enjoy the irony of the guy whose every comment here revolves around an assumption they made up mention ignorance though, so thanks for that.
That's been my point from the day he committed. He's a 2nd string QB that we hope will progress into a real QB1. I don't have a lot of faith that he'll become a great passer but I'd love to see it happen. I think Pribula is a stopgap until we get to Zollers (maybe in '26).
Good, hopefully next time someone points out you are merely speculating you won’t confuse their accurate comments with ignorance.
"accurate comments". :lol:

What I said was reality. Drink ain't trusting BP to throw deep routes at will. He already said that ball security is his first priority. That's coach speak for I don't trust him.
Yes, accurate. Unless you are ready to share a quote from Drinkwitz on Pribula’s arm talent like woofy asked?

I have to thank you though. I have never seen someone read between the lines of a comment so poorly. Coach speak for he doesn’t trust a QB who he never mentioned. Hilarious.
I told you what Drink said, if you're too dumb to read coach speak then that's on you. Drink isn't going to say "Pribula's arm sucks". You're just a [ablution] being purposely obtuse. Have fun with that (and woofy).

Bottom line is that this offense has lots of question marks and Pribula is at or near the top of the list.

My guess is that trust has to be gained as the OC the QB and receivers get comfortable with the playbook and tendencies each have.

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.
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.

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.
I guess I'd have to know what specific throws we're talking about.

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.

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.

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.
