With this redshirt rule is there a chance he stays? He had challenges at the beginning of the year but late in the year he looked like he was getting back to normal

Platt's a nice guy, but we have better receivers who need to play.

There are defensive lineman who have better hands than Platt does.
It's also funny watching those residual cabers crapping on one of the very few cab recruits left.boognish_bear said:BUGWBBear said:Timbear said:

Maybe send messages like this through PM rather than on public boards.

He was looking really good when he had Zach Smith throwing deep bullets. Brewer is a different type of QB which doesn't play as well to Platt's strength.
If he's got a really strong arm QB he can get behind the defense at least once or twice a game which is enough to make him valuable.

I'm hoping next season's O-line will improve to the point that Brewer will have more chances to throw deep balls to guys like Platt. As I feared before the start of last season, our O-line wasn't consistently good enough in their pass protection to provide very many chances to go deep, so consequently we didn't and what should've been our best deep threat (i.e. Platt) got largely wasted in that regard. Hopefully next season is different and he'll improve on his "dropsy issues".BoonDockSaint said:

Not trying to derail the thread and I agree Nick Florence truly threw an outstanding deep ball, but as far as who threw the "best" deep ball among the stiff competition of the Briles' QB's I'd rate RGIII and Petty as tied for top honors in that category. It was extremely rare for either one of them to miss a deep throw if the receiver was open to any degree at all and they usually hit them in stride.bear2be2 said:hodedofome said:

Throwing the deep ball is not about arm strength. It's about timing and touch. Nick Florence may have thrown the best deep ball of any Briles QB, and he had by far the weakest arm.
The funny thing about Charlie's deep misses this year is they were almost always long. That's just something he's got to get better at. He can and I predict he will.
They were all great? Kirby Freeman was great? Chris Johnson was great? Andre Frerking was great? Blake Syzmanski was great? Chad President was great?historian said:
Truth of the matter is that the QB whisperer was great with QB's: recruiting, developing, playing. They were all great. Can you imagine how Zach Smith might have developed had he that kind of tutelage? Even with the limited amount he had, he did very good in 2016-17 under very difficult circumstances--including lots of deep balls. Even the crappy announcers at the Cactus Bowl could not help but praise some of his great throws in that game. Specifically, I am thinking about the 22 yard pass to Pooh Stricklin late in the 3rd quarter.
Here is the drive with more than one such throw--note the incomplete pass in the end zone at the end of the drive:
