I never said QB didn't matter, you said our bad QB play was effecting our running game and I say it's not as our QB play is not nearly as bad as you made it out. And FWIW, Alabama going to a pass 1st offense made them a worse team the last 2 years. Everyone wants to lay the blame on JG and I don't think that is the problem with our running game and the stats show it to be so.
No bama's defense not being what it normally is the last 2 years made them a worse team. They have loss 3 games in the last 2 years and they scored at least 41 in 2 of those 3 games.Picking Tua over Hurts made them a more complete team on offense becuase they had an advantage throwing the ball. Having a real Qb helps your run game idc what u say its the truth. Look at the superbowl game as an prime example. The chiefs threw for less yards then they did in their previous 2 playoff games but they ran for more yards then their other 2 games. Andy Reid has never been a run 1st coach yet they were able to run when they needed to against the #2 rush defense in the NFL. Its becuase their is a stud Qb under center. Look at us the last 2 decades or so. Just about all of our top rushing teams had a legit trigger man who could throw or we had a guy who was a real rushing threat ( Martin, Dobbs). Bottomline is our RB's are good runners. Not once had anyone said they are superstars. They also are not as bad as u seem to think. With an improved oline and better qb play they will put up better numbers. I believe our backs are more then capable of getting the job done. Ty and Tim will be seniors. This will be the 1st time they had an oline this good and dnt have to switch offensive schemes. Gray is going to be a star.
You.... are wrong again. Dropping 7 is a good defense of JG. He doesn't process quickly. He doesn't anticipate throws. You put more guys in coverage and he's going to fail to sustain drives.... Predictable.
It isn't what you should expect of a 4th year QB with the kind of physical talent JG has. He just doesn't appear to have the ability to process information quickly enough or anticipate throws. It isn't what any of us want to see or believe. But this is an innate talent like any other. It appears to be a weakness for JG that opposing DC's capitalize on frequently.
Which is what im saying. Ask JG were those extra guys were coming from in 2018 when he took the worse beating of any qb I've ever seen. Alot of the time those were DB's and LB's hitting him not just DL's. How many times did we see guys running wide open this year??? Nearly every game and we usually missed the throw. We saw CJP go on a rant for that very thing. The fact that guys were open so often tells us they arent playing coverage 1st.
