Question about Kenny O'Neal

He is a junior correct? So are we burning his junior year and opportunity to redshirt with the 3 reverse/trick plays that didn't work? The guy has one more year of eligibility left, get him on the field!

I think Kenny is having a hard time grasping the offense and it stinks that we are wasting his junior year. However, in his defense I don't think the coaches are getting him ready. I mean it's not like our coaches have a history of getting first year players alot of meaningful PT.

......better question.......why waste a Gerald Jones RS on his play when ALL you have to do is 'head down-feild for 15 yds.......make a juke and slant for the endzone........better yet, JUST RUN......we'll get 'ya the ball.....Ainge is a senior QB,,,,,,,,just blow,man........ They(Bammer) were able to lock-down minus a spread feild!!!

papa bowden gave this kid a big head...now he has to work for some playing time and he's having some trouble. I agree just let him run fly routes all day and see if anyone can keep up with him. Or we could just keep running reverses to him for losses of 10 a pop.

What have any of you seen of O'Neal to be arguing for him to be on the field. Everytime I see him in the game he looks lost. I agree with this kid being a bust. Our future stars at WR are Jones and Moore. In Jones' case with the influx of young talent at every major program the days of redshirting are coming to an end. If you have talent that lacks experience sitting them on the bench for a year isn't going to help. With five games left, the season a bust, and Jones at 100% we should see alot more of him this year. I would definatley rather have him with some significant experience at the start of next year than no experience with a year of eligibility that he may not even use.

you'd be surprised how many 5* juco WRs come in their first year and look like busts and then destroy it their senior season. give the kid some time. Cal's hawkins is a key example.

He's likely to be a stud, but today he's playing by default.

Would you really rather have Antonio Wardlow/Jarrod Parrish back there? I'll take my lumps with him over them any day.
