Just what any coach, teammate, and fan wants from the QB...
a lot of folks just want to bitch and are pissed because they can't dump on his very strong performance. You would likely get detractors if he goes 24 for 28 for 300 yards and carries 10 times for 125.
What I do like is that he showed true improvement in execution and decision making. Hope it continues.
Stop pretending to be ignorant..oh wait, never mind.

Chris B would get 8.2 yards per carry in lieu of Riley…..
Give Chris B the rock, Marcus
He has limitations but he plays tough with a callow o-line

It's all starting to make sense why this keeps happening.

please don't post
you are an idiot
For 163 yds and 13 carries (vs Love w/11) - that isn’t a viable offensive strategy

Irish numbers 5 games in. Yes, fans are "bitching".
67th Time of Possession, 99th Pass Effeciency, 75th Total Offense, 111th Pass Offense, 20th Rush Offense thanks to Purdue, 50th Scoring Offense thanks to Purdue. Draw your own conclusions. QB? OC? OL? MF? Combination of everything?
They should be.

Maybe it takes him a little time to get going?

The narrative about missing spring and playing time last year is a slightly
Overdone.
Guys transfer after not playing at all and are fine. Free agent QBs in the NFL change teams and have to learn a new offense but it’s not like they can’t throw a pass 5 yards.
meshing with new WRs is going to take time but one would think RL would at least look the part of a competent passer even if there we lingering issues from some missed time.
Last game he did look more settled in the pocket but I have a hard time thinking a 4th year college QB would like that inept as a passer for this long in game situations. The chuck knoblach comparisons seem like a plausible explanation. RL did win some throwing competition in the off season against other high quality QBs so u have to believe the ability is in there somewhere.
Wrong. Find me a transfer who lit it up after missing a full offseason through injury
It isn't slightly overdone.
Jordan Travis had a full Spring with FSU and a healthy previous year starting.
Russell Wilson had transferred after Spring Practice, but still had a full offseason
Bo Nix had a full Spring with new team and healthy previous year starting
Michael Penix had a full Spring with new team and healthy previous year starting
Jalen Hurts got yanked in NC game with Bama, had a full Spring with OU and healthy previous year starting
Jayden Daniels had a full Spring with new team and healthy previous year starting
Justin Fields had a full Spring with new team and was healthy backup previous
Caleb Williams had a full Spring with new team and same coach after starting the second half of his freshman year
Kyler Murray had a full Spring with new team and was healthy backup previous with 3 starts
Baker Mayfield was a walk-on starter at Texas Tech, then redshirted for a year under Stoops
Cam Newton was probably the highest rated JuCo transfer after his Florida scandal, had a full Spring with new team
Joe Burrow had a full Spring with new team and was backup previous, and 2 full seasons as a starter
Stop making excuses…you look like a fool

I accept your gracious surrender to my comprehensive argument
I'm not RL or MF, so I'm not making excuses. It was delusional to think Riley would come in injured without a Spring, with a new and oft-injured O-Line, and 3 transfer WRs and be lighting up the passing stats.
Probably not going to compete for a NC with those numbers unless your D allows 0.0 points and YPG.
