Then why were you arguing against it

LOL... No one was arguing against it. You have a little voice in your head.

Next time you hear the little voice in your head, ignore it and spare the rest of us. Consider it an act of public service.

No, he didn't. See the throw chart.

I can't see it. You never provided it. If you have it, share it. It's that whole "support your argument" thing at which you fail. Every. Single. Time. Because you're a troll.

1st drive:
1. nothing downfield, screen pass missed
2. quick slant completed to Warren (1st down on a 3rd and short)
3. deep wheel route (over 20 yards) incomplete to Warren - tough throw to make and he didn't make it. Could have checked down and hoped the RB made one guy miss
4. shovel to Allen

2nd drive:
5. not an intermediate pass, per se ... but the equivalent. meant to go downfield, nothing open quickly ... forced to scramble for his life, stopped, turned around and made a quick on target throw, while getting smushed, 20 yards in the air to the safety valve who leaked downfield. Great play

3rd drive:
6. beautiful throw 10-11 yards in the air (intermediate route) to clifford on a medium post. Complete. pro throw. correct read as pressure was coming from the run option side and you'd never commit to the run there.
7. another 11 yard in the air pass complete to Wallace on a 2nd or 3rd option. Intermediate throw. Another pro throw.
8. shovel to Warren
9. on 3rd and 4 from the 16, it's a short pass on an out, that turned into an 11 yard gain with YAC, rolling out throwing against his body. you're only looking for a short gainer here. he's trusting him to throw on 3rd down, rather than running it in what could be 4 down territory if the run doesn't work.
10. 1 yard TD toss. good job going through progressions.

4th drive:
11. same play as pass #9. short pass on an out. tougher throw than it looked (not a tough throw, but not a complete gimme) throwing against your body while rolling out
12. turned the wrong way on play action, fake was blown, 21 yards in the air deep pass to Clifford, while shuffling sideways, about to get hit. Great play.
13. shovel to Warren.

His misreads on the RPO were one play each on the 3rd and 4th drives when he handed off to the RB up the middle when they were keying on that guy all the time, and he should have kept it and gone to his right, as he did earlier in the 3rd drive (when the defender similarly bolted straight for the RB, leaving Beau alone for a decent gainer), because it was wide open for good yardage, instead of getting the RB stuffed.

The only bad decision/bad throw was the early downfield toss to Warren ... he could have checked down on that, and the throw wasn't great, regardless. The screen pass he missed was a non-issue ... he had nothing and it was a near impossible throw, since the RB was closely guarded and it'd have to be the perfect lofted pass to stand a chance.

Two of the intermediate throws were bad reads on RPOs.

Identify which plays, specifically (time, down, etc.) and what the proper read was (and why).

The design on almost all his passes were to keep the ball underneath. The deep ball to Clifford was a great throw though

I guarantee you if AK can convince Drew to stay around year he'd be way more happy than having a dual threat guy. The theory that AK wants a dual threat QB because Daniels is a myth. He's capable of running his offense around any skillset which is what makes him elite. See AK before Kansas.

And, for the record, the short/safe play-calling for the majority of the half was smart and executed efficiently. It was great.

You're making statements that don't follow from one to the next. Of course he's capable of running his offense with differing skillsets ... but he'd obviously prefer to have a capable, mobile guy. That's why you see Allar, who is an absolute stud with oodles of arm talent, capable of making many throws most college QBs can't make, making good decisions and capably leading a top team in all of college football, subbed out (well, shifted to the side as a non-QB) in favor of a mobile QB (and non-QBs), multiple times a game, and even in some big situations that don't traditionally "call" for a wildcat, or anything similar.

Of course he would welcome Allar back - you're not going to escort an elite talent who produces, leads and has a potential bright NFL future ahead of him out the door ... and he'd still sub him out when he wants to get creative with mobility. And if Beau sticks around and Allar leaves, you're not going to see a different QB come in to spell Beau, because AK will already have his mobile option, and he's not going to bring in a designated deep ball thrower ... and you'll see even more creativity built around Beau's skillset. While he can adapt, AK's philosophy lends itself toward having mobility as an added facet of creativity, deception and confusion.
