Things people who dont know football say

Swamp Donkey · Dec 9, 2017

Im stealing this quote from an argument Five Finger said in another thread.

IMO here are some of the ways I know quickly that you dont know football:

The ProStyle vs The Spread- people who don't know football think that these are the two offenses.

We just need a quarterback- people who don't no offense think that the problem is always that we need a better quarterback, and can't discern problems with the offense of liner route-running or anything else on offense.

He is staring down his receivers - people who don't know football somehow by seeing the back of a quarterback's helmet yet know where his eyes are. a lesser related concept is judging quarterbacks by how hard they throw the ball.

Defense is about sacks and interceptions- people who don't know football judge defenses by these two things only.

Give me more or return fire when ready.

Give me the other side..........people who do KNOW Football say.........let me guess...............
______sucks________sucks_________Sucks_________ All we need are five stars and coaches with white teeth and
Nebraska pedigrees. Football has to be the hardest sport to coach because it entails so much. The head coach has to be a real leader of young men (most who feel entitlted from their HS careers). Other coaches that think they are smarter than you sometimes. Keep 80 + young men mean nasty tough but calm away from the field. How to match your strengths against the other team's weakness at all times. Keep the majority of fans happy ALL the time. Constantly recruiting to keep the cupboards full and be able to anticipate where your next injury may occur so you have that Jimmy/Joe to run on the field when it happens. Oh yeah, you need to be aware your best asst coaches may be gone just like that cause they want to be you. SOS had that problem. Bobby B was amazing at keeping his assistants.......
How to keep the chemistry on your team good to keep it from fracturing into warring sides. In short you need a genius with Solomon like qualities along with Patton like leadership. And even then an injury to the wrong player can deep six you in a heart beat. That said if you get a player like Herschel or Timmy Tebow (players that come along maybe twice a century) you can win like that.........if the coach has the brains to let them play or lead or both..............

Score points. Stop the other team from scoring points.

We have a coach who wants to be here. His won/loss record isn't an indication of his ability.

Blacklabgator · Dec 9, 2017

If we score more than the other team we win ??

Maybe, if you have a competitive relatively complete team already.

There have been plenty of really talented guys who landed on the wrong team or wrong scheme and were underutilized or wont be remembered at truly great.

McFadden Deuce McCallister guys like that. Hell Emmitt played well but didnt win anything in college. Not his fault.

Some say Brady is best ever and yet he didnt do shyt in college thanks to Brad Loeffler and others.

I hear "we just need to blitz more" a lot.

Captain Sasquatch · Dec 9, 2017

“Why don’t we throw it deep more often?”

People who get pissed because a quarterback scrambles and throws it away. He’s doing it for a reason, folks, nobody’s open.

People who think every running play up the middle is the “same play.”

People who blame a receiver for “dropping” a pass if he gets a single fingertip on the ball.

What Williston just said, “we should blitz every down.” Although with Grantham bringing in the 3-4, that’s almost precisely what we’re going to see. :lol:

I would say if you're not getting paid to use your football knowledge, then you don't have any football knowledge.

I like it, but that is what 3-4 is designed to do. still just bringing for rushers but you don't know which one is the fourth necessarily.

GatorInKnox · Dec 9, 2017

When people judge an OC solely on playcalling and that better playcalling will somehow instantly turn around our offense. It’s been years since we’ve been able to properly execute horrible plays.

jdh5484 · Dec 9, 2017

It's fourth and goal with 5 seconds left in the game - I'd use a sand wedge.

Gatorbait25 · Dec 9, 2017

"Stack the box" has to be number one for me.

The best defenses today actually dictate where they want the offense to go with the ball a lot of times before the ball is snapped. Scheme and discipline often produce better overall game results than intricate blitz packages and "island corners" imo. Nothing worse than watching a freak of an athlete get a 8-10 yard loss on a sack and then see the same guy get gapped off tackle on the next play for 15-20 yards and then get out of position and give up another 30 yards on the next play because he can't read a screen.
