Maturing, maybe. Getting better as a passer, no.
Expect the best every year. That's what they've built and what they themselves expect. Why should we be any different?

I am a big fan of Wright. I was extremely excited when he signed with Northwest because he's a good athlete that could throw a bit. I get the criticism of him. His biggest flaw right now is his accuracy/consistency. Throwing for 52.6% is not good. If you look at his stats though, that's really the only major issue. He's accounted for just over 3200 yards (rushing and receiving) and 36 total touchdowns and only 7 INTs. That's as an RS-Sophomore. Most kids don't even step on the field for regular action until they are a RS-Junior. All of the great QBs in Northwest history have had their issues. The difference is that those issues were concealed in practice because they weren't forced to play right away. Wright has had to, based on circumstances, grow as a player on the fly. Training by fire. It's honestly a pretty unique situation.
Again, the consistency thing is a big issue. It can cause drives to fail and opportunities to be lost. I hope the more experience he gets, the better that comes around. I hope that because I am a fan of him and the Bearcats. I will tell you from a pure football perspective, he's capable of making fantastic plays and extending plays because of his athleticism. The hope is that becomes more regular. Again, it's all about consistency.

All everything including getting benched during that Senior season due to performance. They are similar in that it's not the ceiling one is concerned about. It's the floor. It took until after the beginning of TA's SR season for that floor to be raised. The improvement was unprecedented and the resulting efficiency was simply stupid.

He just has some dog games where it hand cuffs that side of the ball... the boards fill up with calls for the coordinators' heads, but what the heck kind of offensive rhythm can you get in when you QB goes 6-20 against Emporia or 9-22 against UNK... it's tough. I'm not trying to defend the coordinators either... we all know that could be better at times too. Maybe it is just growing pains, but he's now through 2 complete regular seasons and into his 4th playoff game. Hopefully the dogs are in the pen for good. Good BW would go a long way towards NW having a shot at winning this weekend. If they pull it off, then who knows where it could end. :)
