Spurrier team passing pockets vs last year (with pictures).. LaNorris didn't have a chance.
Summary
LaNorris had no passing pockets like Spurrier-era QBs; O-line failed to provide time or field vision.
Maybe so.. But I am telling you right now he didn't have ANY pockets like the ones in those pictures. They simply weren't there and weren't going to be there whether he stepped up, polka danced, or did a handstand. Look at those pictures. I would challenge you to find any game against a SEC team where he had the OPPORTUNITY to have a pocket like those. There are PLENTY of times that he absolutely tried to stay in the pocket.
I said in my OP that he absolutely made mistakes and has lots of things he needs to be improve upon. But that doesn't change the fact that he simply didn't have the opportunity to have the time in the pocket or the being able to see out of the pocket that all of the QBs under Spurrier had. One thing a clean pocket gives you is the ability to see the field.
You take a look at those pictures I posted up above and be honest with yourself. Have you seen anything like that in the last few years with our OL???? Have you seen ANY QB in the last few years be able to drop back and have the space around them that Connor has in those pictures?? Go back to Rattler. I don't remember him having pockets like that.
