Please someone, anyone, step up at QB.

Pretty sure @ChattaTNVol could set up A spreadsheet in two hours to have a fair schedule based on strength of schedule.

Subjective based on how a team is projected to be, but this should have been a computer generated schedule reviewed by a committee

Nobody expected JG to be Joe Burrow. But he got worse. And none of our younger QB's got better. Let someone show improvement and I'll give him credit. Thus far he hasn't proven anything in recruiting or on the field. Wasn't he fired in the NFL? Didn't show them anything apparently

Doesn't Chaney share some of that responsibility?

 

[VOLSONLY]

Pruitt will have our guys ready to play hard nosed football, it’s a shame how corrupt everything is this day and time (still mad). I’m concerned about injuries as well

 

[SweetasSoda]

It's all for shi*s and giggles now. Everyone is playing for 2nd place behind Georgia.

Uh, no, we wanted GA to get LSU.

 

[drvenner]

Because Pruitt isn't infallible. Hello Tyson Helton

Body of work. Are you infallible?

I'm not worried about the defense its QB play. He hasn't exactly ever looked good against good teams. Best case scenario we run the triple option and score on defense.

Me looking at the schedule release:

 

[Catbone]

Uh, no, we wanted GA to get LSU.

What do you mean

 

[RikidyBones]

Kinda paper ish and square with some writin' on it, probably.

Allegedly

 

[drvenner]

Start a Weinke or QB thread ... I'm here for TID news.

He has a thread.

I did one using FPI as a basis for how strong an opponent is and the sum of the FPI as the strength of schedule. You could then use the average spread or total spread as a measure of fairness. Minimizing both of those gave us LSU MSU, but UF ended up with Bama.

 

[Catbone]

Oops

 

[rocktopper16]

Ummm . We need a QB before we think about beating anybody

What was our record again 8-5? I think we’ll do just fine. When is the last time you looked at our schedule and not seen every game as a toss up?

 

[LoudOrange]

Please someone, anyone, step up at QB.

Probably will need them all with this schedule.

 

[SweetasSoda]

What do you mean

So one of them would have to lose. Or AL v FL for another loss.

Last year. 8-5 beating nobodies. Remind me who the 5 losses were last year?

that’s brutal and we are better than 5 of those teams for sure but at the same time with COVID who knows. It’s probably going to happen at some point where we play games without some very important players. There’s no room for error on those 5 teams we should beat but imagine if you are down to 3rd stringers and they’re at full health. The season is going to be scuffed anyways and there’s most likely not going to be bowl games. If we go 3-7 none of you fools better be calling for Pruitts head especially if he plays half these games with key starters out. I feel like there will be a lot of uninspired teams on the field this year with essentially no bowl to play for and no shot at a conference championship so the mentally strongest team that plays the hardest every single game may be dangerous. Hopefully it’s us.

They're protecting Bama and Georgia it's not even a question

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Boys and girls, this is a wildcard season. Who know what to expect? Could be crazy swings either way on any given week. Just enjoy it for what it is. There may be some classic wins hiding in there

 

[nicksjuzunk]

We should have known it would be bad when the SEC said, “we’ve got a guy working it all out for ya. BRB”

 

[Leeleesteeth]

Meawhile, Georgia is naming itself preseason National Champs for about the 80th year in a row. One's I talk to say they are entitled to an easy draw.
