Thoughts going forward and on the Missouri game?

[AugustaGator]

No one expects him to be a heisman winner. But most of us recognize he doesn't have the physical ability to seriously compete against truly elite defenses. He's short, has a noodle arm, isn't athletic, and is a statue. That is a bad combination. We aren't winning anything with him at QB.

And slow to throw. However can see the field, makes good decisions except where he does not have the arm to get the ball there.

Any way you slice the banana -- recruiting, player development, scheme, motivation, starting all over again with a new regime -- it's gonna take longer to reach our goals than many of you want to see.

We are a one-time five-star program with a three-star coach. Better get used to it.

Can't remember when winning made me feel so dirty.........


Oh wait, two weeks ago......

 

[Jbossgator8]

So I'm guessing we just tank the rest of the season so we can get the #1 draft pick??...

 

[Jbossgator8]

We have to get these penalties corrected and try not to accidently win games like these

It's a pretty steep drop after our 1's

During the spring game he was getting the ball out super quick. They must've fed him what the defense was going to be and where to go, because I've yet to really see a quick decision.

The thing that unnerved me was in a post game interview. I don't remember if it was on field, or the presser. It was probably the first, so I will give Mac some slack for words just spilling out of his mouth. However, they shot through me.

He said something like "I don't know what's wrong " or " cant' tell what's wrong", something similar, but I honestly think it was the first one. Then he followed it with, " but we'll get it fixed". It was deja vu Muschamp. Sinking feeling. And I'm thinking, what do you mean you don't know, it's your job to know. Not reassuming. As has been said so many times, it the coach doesn't know what is wrong, how can it get fixed?

Yeah it seems pretty clear that there is an issue with him adjusting or changing things up. One of the biggest issues is formations and use of direction or misdirection which is non existent within our offense....We have 4 or 5 plays that we run in every game that the defense seems like they're in our huddle because as soon as thy play starts they on it like stink on you know what, yet well run them 2 or 3 times each per game.
Either the players have hit a ceiling on how many and what plays they can execute or our coaches need help opening the rest of the playbook...

It seems like we run that boot look 1 yard pass to the TE every third play.

He didn't make horrible decisions and the playbook was larger and we looked more organized.

Curious what you define as horrible decisions... Generally most sane people believe throwing into double coverage multiple times is a bad decision but to each their own I suppose.

Finally watched the game today and I think with LDR we tend to move the chains a bit better but he leaves a lot to be desired in decision making.. I'm not sure he knows how to go through progressions... Too many times he lofted a ball up without seeing if his number one target was even open.

I came away impressed within Jawaan.. Kid is gonna be a first rounder one day..

Also the fact that Herndon played is mind blowing..... Shorten the God damn rotation already

Cleveland looks like a good threat alongside callawsy... We just have a noodle arm for a qb.. I hope we look to develop and start trssk or Franks next year

Well, if you look at our schedule that's all I see. UGA is a dumpster fire. I'm watching LSU struggle at home to Southern Miss - they look like a joke. The wheels have come off for FSU.

Honestly, our toughest game looks like Arkansas. The schedule is a joke and we're going to win more games than we have any business winning.

Exactly. As ridiculous as it may sound, winning these coming games is only going to prolong us from getting to our ultimate goal of being among the elite with a real chance of competing for a National Championship. Why? Because it gives Mac a "good record" even though, as we saw with Muschamp, we all know it's only fool's gold. Our offense is putrid. It's not anywhere near close to being SEC championship caliber let alone NC caliber. We have playmakers but not the complete package that will enable them to make plays. Mac will squeak by on defense and win enough games to give him a good record on paper and show him to be a successful coach. At least in the short term. I hate feeling this way but unfortunately we've seen this played out before. We'll continue to postpone the inevitable by having 9-4, 8-5 or even 10-3 records using good defense and aggravating an uninspiring offense. Meanwhile, our resurgence to the elite level will remain in limbo.

When he threw the ball they were not covered or only single coverage. There was no power in his throws. Defenders had time to converge.

Indeed. Razor thin.

Most are freshmen. Draw whatever conclusion you will but IMHO had Chimp been recruiting for someplace other than DBU we'd have more offensive depth.

That's why I'd prefer to go ahead and make the move sooner than later. Figure out who you want and make them an offer they can't refuse. We're soon to be just like the Richt led Dwags....minus the top 10 classes every year.

That's at least half the risk of botching a hire. Not only do you have to go back to square one, you have to appease various factions by waiting out a year or two going back to square one even after you're relatively certain you need to.

Unless it's 3rd and long, thens its draw or screen.
