How can we ever replace Charlie Frye?

[Dr Z]

At the spring game I wondered about the QB position, I'm starting to feel a whole lot better.

I looked up a few stats to compare an NFL'ers senior season to Luke's this year. Pretty interesting.

Game 1 FRYE 29/36 223 yards 0 TDs 2 INTs

Game 2 FRYE 31/44 399 2 TDs 1 INT

Game 3 FRYE 10/23 72 0 TDs 2 INTs

FRYE 3 game totals 70/694 2TDs 5 INTs

Game 1 GETSY 25/44 283 yards 2 TDs 0 INTs

Game 2 GETSY 23/43 319 yards 2 TDs 3 INTs

Game 3 GETSY 20/39 406 yards 5 TDs 0 INTs

GETSY 3 game totals 68/1008 yards 9 TDs 3 INTs

comparison

Getsy 1008 yards 9tds 3ints

Frye 694 yards 2tds 5ints

Keep up the good work Luke

Work on those out passes to the sideline.

I want it to be known right here and now that I did not write this e-mail!!!!

I think you are refering to the bubble screen as the out pass?.? but I'm not sure. Anyhow, Luke really needs to be more accurate with this pass. It is too easy of a pass to be thrown as poorly as we saw it thrown Saturday. It throws the timing of the play off.

Frye had a much better completion percentage than Getsy has so far (70% vs 53%). Probably due to Frye having better mobility and more able to run the ball when there was nobody open. Getsy is much more likely to chuck the ball out of bounds than run so it drives down his completion percentage.

While Zips Win! and I were talking at halftime, he made a good point that the players need to keep getting better for the program to move forward. If Getsy is better than Frye, then good!

The past three QBs the Zips have had have all been really good. I think Butchie was just as good as Frye and he had a short career in the CFL....whatever. From his short career as QB, Sparks was just as good as Frye, but the Zips needed to get their best 11 players on the field and his QB position was sacraficed to Frye. Frye set a bunch of school records while at Akron (most TDs in a game was broken Saturday by Getsy 5, if Biggs gets one more yard in OT, it is 6).

Getsy seems to have taken the position to a different level. I don't have time to go into how many things he does right, but there are plenty. I think he handles the offense better than Frye and passes down field better. This is probably largely due to the fact that Frye had less than 9 months in the offense and Getsy has had going on four years in the offense. The bottom line is that the team responds to him and they are winning so far. Winning is the most important thing.

I have to get this in though....Our success so far this season has noting to do with Frye vs. Getsy, it could be quarterback X vs. quarterback Y and it wouldn't matter. Once again Saturday we saw a small little kid from Florida provide the spark for the team when we really need it. Biggs had 156 total yards in the game. I have been saying for the past two seasons that he is the best player on the team and I will stand by that now. The evidence is becoming too overwhelming.

GP1, My thoughts exactly. Well put.

Interesting, I didn't realize his stats were so good. Keep it up!

Hey, maybe we can become QB U.

What is the record for TD passes in a year for an Akron QB?
