Baumgardner: Dart throws too late, needs receivers wide open; legacy of Kiffin's Ole Miss offense.

Nick Baumgardner expressed concern that Dart doesn't throw with anticipation, waiting for receivers to be 'wide open' before releasing the ball rather than throwing into windows with timing. Baumgardner said 'he's one of these guys where it's you've got to be wide open sometimes before he's ready to rip it' and attributed this to a 'hangover from the Lane Kiffin offense' at Ole Miss, where anticipatory throws weren't required. While Baumgardner believes Dart can improve in this area—'I don't think he's a guy that it's totally a lost cause'—the tendency to throw late costs receivers modest gains that could become big plays and turns some completions into incompletions.
