Passing Game Regression: The Missing Piece?

Much has been said about the regression in the passing game since 2014. 

  • Tom Herman moved on
  • Not enough OC eyes up in the booth
  • Lack of WR development
  • Tim Beck can't develop QBs 
  • JTBs arm strength
  • No Devin Smith deep threat
  • Warm Weather Players

Maybe some have validity. Maybe none do. I don't know for sure. What seems like a good, more obvious option, is that our last two right tackles aren't good in pass protection. 

----------------------

2013: Reid Fragel - a former TE, beefed up and became a good RT, especially in pass-pro. 

2014: Darryl Baldwin - a former DT/DE turned o-lineman, turned right tackle

2015: Chase Farris - a former DT, turned O-lineman, turned DT, turned right tackle. Couldn't pass protect well at all. Really was a guard trying to play tackle and it showed.

2016: Isaiah Prince - redshirt freshman, top tackle recruit. Has shown some flashes of potential, but isn't good at pass protection overall right now. Could still be good someday. 

-----------------------

Maybe the passing game has regressed because our QBs/receivers have one or two seconds left to make decisions/get open.
