Evidence that Flowers has improved

Which is what, exactly?  And is it well above average, or significantly higher than average?

I read on here that it was 71 out of 100 with 50 being average. Make of that what you will.

so a C, or is that a D?

Mostly agree, EXCEPT, I think Flowers, because of his lack of experience, needs all the reps he can get. If he were a seasoned vet, yes, give the back-up some snaps.

I agree.  I think he needs the reps.  I actually thought he would have been better served if he played and extra two drives the third quarter in the opener.  I think the more reps the better.  It looks like the game is slowing down for him and it was a good opportunity to get him good game time reps because he needs them.  I think they better serve young players.  Some things can't be replicated in practice.

If only Flowers wasn't so short ... wouldn't be an issue for a taller QB.  

That is like saying all overthrown passes would be completions if we only had taller receivers.  That is not how it works.  The center is basically throwing a pass between his legs and he practices that over and over again to make sure it gets to the right spot.  

Sometimes they get distracted or worried about their blocking assignments and their technic suffers but in all cases, the blame is on the center.  I was one and that mantra was drilled into me.

Are you saying you don't know what QBR is?

70+ is a C academically,  but that's a good QBR for a college quarterback seeming as 50 is average.

How tall was Evyld? I remember him having trouble with snaps. 

I remember him having trouble with just football in general!

Doesn't it mean quarterly bonus ratio?

Actually it's nothing like that.  A pass thrown 20 feet over a receiver has no chance of being caught by anyone, regardless of height.  And Brynjar is doing a great job overall, but QF still has to jump a bit too often to get the snap.  

Anyway, you spent way too much time on your reply to me than you should have.  My original post was a bit tongue-in-cheek, I apologize it may have been a bit hard to tell.
