I think Klein will throw for about 2800
lol
he'll throw 7 to 10 times more per game. All of Snyder's senior QBs did - Bishop, Beasley, and Roberson - compared to their junior years.
1) He'll complete a higher percentage of his passes.
2) His yardage per completion will increase due to improved decision-making and chemistry with his receivers.
3) he threw the ball 281 times last year, hit 57% of his passes, and his yards per completion was about 11.9.
If he attempts approx 8-9 more per game he will have around 400 passes. If he completes 60% of his passes he will have 240 completions. If each completion is 12 yards per completion he'll throw for 2,880 yards.
It may be that he attempts only 5 more passes per game. If he completes 60% of those passes he's around 210 completions or so...13.3 yards per completion gets him 2,800.
Bottom line...this SHOULD be a more athletic OL to give him better protection. If only minimal it will help. His pocket presence, understanding of the passing game, chemistry with receivers, decision-making, reads, etc. should ALL be improved. The addition of Clark and an extra year with Lockett (more experienced) all can improve completion percentage and yards per completion.
It isn't rocket science. 2800 yards over 13 games isn't a whole helluva lot of yards per game (215). He had that vs. Arkansas if his receivers hold on to the ball. He threw for that against OSU and aTm.
We'll see who is lol'ing come january, steve dave.
