The difference with this year compared to last

[Swamped Gator]

Last year we would have won the FSU game with a decent offensive coach.

This year we would have won the FSU game with a decent quarterback.

This is depressing, I get it. We'll probably end this surprise year on a three game losing streak. However the biggest difference between this year and last year is the offense is actually well schemed and well coached. We have had players wide open in ever single game this year. When was the last year we had WR's that could actually get open? 2009? A halfway decent QB would have lit up LSU and FSU with how well our coaches get guys open.

This sucks and it's going to sting for awhile. 4 out of 5 to FSU is miserable. But Coach Mac well get this ship righted when he gets his players back in this year. We all hate Treon right now. The kid just can't do it. But we should all hate Grier more right now. If he wasn't selfish we'd be undefeated right now. There's no doubt in my mind about that.

We had guys open all night long last night. A good QB throws for 300 yards. Coach Mac and Nussie actually outcoached their DC. We just have no one to get the ball to the open guys. Hopefully Del Rio will be serviceable. Mac's job now is to find a QB. We also found another starter on the o-line. Jordan looked like he's going to be a player. He's the most physical guy in the interior right now. This isn't Chump. Chump couldn't scheme guys open. Mac and co are. Now they need to go get the guy that can throw them the ball.

Grier should never set foot in The Swamp again, unless he is an opponent.

Gardner's a Grier fanboy...

Yes, Jordan is playing surprisingly well for a true freshman and it's excellent to get Dillard off the field. Thurman can hardly snap the ball with that destroyed shoulder he has but Dillard gets blown up more than a bus full of school children in the Middle East.

I'm not sure what happens next year. Hopefully McCoy will be ready and we aren't forced to put Dillard on again.

Mac is going to "get the ship righted"? With the 2 star QB he has committed right now?

 

[Swamped Gator]

Grier literally tanked this year. If he was still playing we'd almost be guaranteed a playoff spot. It stings all the more to see character train wrecks like Winston and Cook beat us without any consequences for their actions. Heck that's what bothered me the most about Robinson not playing. Our guys are actually held accountable and we pay for it dearly while our rival lets their players get away with anything to win games.

Exactly the reason you should start TREON AND TAYLOR SUCK threads.

He should have unleashed one of those beautiful deep balls you claim he throws...

What will it take for you to finally admit your boy cant play? Passing the buck at every opportunity isnt cutting it. Look, we have all been wrong before. Just admit it. I was the first one here to have a grier avatar and I believed he was the answer. Once he screwed up I took down the avatar because at that point he didnt deserve it and in my opinion he has alot of making up to do before I will fully support him again. His piss poor selfishness pretty much screwed the rest of our season. But the FACT still remains, Treon cant play at this level and most likely never will.

Listening to mcgriff and other commentators after these games say the same things about our offense that we are seeing. The scheme is there, the receivers are open, we just can't recognize it and deliver the ball. Mcgriff was very apologetic post game in that he didn't want to slam an individual player but that there is just no way to analyze what's going on in these games without commenting that the guy we have throwing the ball just can't get it there.

It was especially frustrating watching it from the stands because your view of the defense is so much better than it is on tv. Man I remember the first play after the Showers return was called back, Thompson and another guy were lined up to the left and were singled up. With the technique the DBs were showing you just knew if they did a wheel it was gonna be wide open and sure enough about 1 second after the snap Thompson is streaking down the left sideline with literally nobody within 15 yards of him. It was a gimme TD but Treon never saw it. So many plays like that last night it's really hard to describe. The thing that gives you hope is simply knowing that when we get the players we need at the key positions we should destroy teams like the one we faced last night.

Grier cost us two seasons of football. I hope he never sees the field for us again. It is unforgivable.

 

[t-gator]

I'm all for grier never playing again.

 

[Zambo]

Stop being so butt hurt. If he's still here and we don't have a better option he needs to go back in there.

I will assume this is sarcasm, because I call his deep balls punt passes.

I suggest you get over it. He's a kid and he made a dumb decision but he takes no personal responsibility for your frustration as a fan. Sheez.

It wasn't sarcasm. I remembered you saying this:

Harris is more accurate with his deep passes. But his lack of velocity means those things really hang in the air. I call his deep passes punts.

I didn't remember all of the quote or any of the other criticisms you made regarding his lack of overall skill. That is on me...I sit corrected.

Sorry T, the kid made a mistake. Kinda like Harris has. Just Grier's punishment did not fit the crime. And Harris won't help us out these two seasons.

That's ok. Treon's quarterbacking has us all confused and traumatized.

One big difference (positive) that I see this year is the production from our receivers; these guys can catch the ball. During the Dawgchump years dropped balls were a habitual problem and already under Mac we've turned the corner. We seem to have a lot of young talent at WR so once we get a real QB in there we should see improvement on the offensive side.

From here, our Def is only going to be worse over the next two years so the O will have be able to score more points.
