Evans Shows Significant Improvement

Just some thoughts on Daniel Evans thus far. I wasn't sure that our OL could play good enough to give the Pack a chance to win.

With Evans - you know what you'll get. He throws an accurate, easy to catch ball - he's good at quick reads and quick throws. He's not going to win any games relying on his arm or his legs to make plays. The staff did a solid job against FSU 2 weeks ago but he made a couple of bad decisions late in the first half and early in the 3rd quarter. Against ECU, he played about as good as he can play.

Statistically, here's a comparision between this year and last year:
2007: 7 TDs vs. 6 INTs.
2006: 6 TDs and 11 INTs.

2007: Completion % 63.4% - 27th out of the 120 QBs rated.
2006: Completion 53.1% - 95 out of 110 QBs.

2007 - QB rating is 68th out of 120.
2006 - 104 out of 110.

So Evans has improved pretty significantly thus far. The bad news is that last year, he started off good and struggled at the finish. But w/ 5 games left, he's surpassed his TDs from last year. More importantly, the more I become convinced that he can't do the job, the better he plays. So on second thought - he's still terrible.
