Amused

[Trojanbulldog19]

I’m really amused by the people on this board who think a change at qb will magically change this offense into a successful high scoring offense. It just goes to shows you really don’t know anything about football and only watch the ball during a game.

Moorhead is the coach. Even in your wildest dreams he ain't leaving until after this year. How many more times does Fitz have to pass for fewer than a c note before we decide to see if something else works? You're not going to convince Moorhead to run dan's offense and nick can't run Joe's.

Fitz’s limitations are a part of the problem. They’re not the only problem, but they’re a part of it.

Conference only stats
Total offense = 201.5 yds 14th
Rushing offense = 80 yds 14th
Passing offense = 121.5 yds 13th
Yds per rush = 2.67 14th
Scoring offense = 6.5 ppg 14th

Not like it could possibly be worse

QB2 is always most popular player on the team when the going gets tuff.

 

[Shamoan]

Kinda how I see it. The only way it could be worse is more turnovers. That aside, the offense is an abomination. I'm willing to try anything

I'm willing to try anything too but what we are going to see is that key is a less athletic, weaker armed fitz.

Can he turn and hand the ball off? That and if he can hit a barn from 20 yards away, it will be a start.

I'm not one of the guys demanding a QB change, just to clarify, (playcalling is all wrong) BUT, if Croomhead isn't going to budge at all and call running plays, you might as well see if Key isn't at least a little more accurate. The QB isn't running successfully anyway, so what are we missing by mixing him in a little...?

So less QB runs and throws a more catchable ball. I'm not seeing the problem here.

Agreed.

Also, going into this season WR was the biggest question mark and I think it’s still a question. If that had been AJ Brown or Calvin Ridley that Fitz hit in the hands at the beginning of the 3Q that’s a TD.

Same for the drops in the 3Q and 4Q when we were trying to get drives going.

Also, we were counting on our OL being a strength but for some reason they seem to really be struggling.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Why does it have to be AJ Brown or Ridley? If it hits Arceto Clark it’s a TD. If it hits Lance Long it’s a TD. This is worse than the group that Mullen inherited.

 

[Shmuley]

Not sure how we could get any MORE one dimensional at this point.

 

[seb304]

Drops are inexplicable...

Why did drops become such an issue starting in 2016 anyway?

Our passing game had other limitations in the pre-Dak era, but these consistent drops are incredible. Hell, Fred Ross was super reliable in 2015 with Dak and even he started dropping passes all over the place in 2016.

This is absolute truth. Everyone out there knows if you stack the line and maybe put a spy on Fitz to make us pass our way to win, we're hosed.

So a guy who can throw something besides bullets?

 

[MarkDallas]

It's all just sound and fury signifying nothing. Here are the facts: 1) we hired an offensive guru, 2) our offense is at least as talented as last year, 3) we're dead last in most SEC offensive categories.

I don't care who fits what scheme or what receiver dropped what pass. If your calling card is offense, then you should be able to generate offense with this group of players. Period.

Unfortunately the dream season is over and we have to hope he can recruit now that players know they're not going to score 100 touchdowns.

 

[patdog]

I’m pretty amused by people who think our QB play is just fine. No need to give a 4* recruit some snaps to see what he can do. He’ll, it’s not like he could be any worse than Fitz has been the last 2 games.

 

[pmack65]

^ This all day. Don't know if Key would do any better or worse then Fitz, but also no reason not to give him a shot. Offense isn't producing, it's worth a shot might add a spark that's needed. Don't know till you try it.
