2 words on Faizon

[Kansasvol]

I just think we need to roll with George the rest of the season. He hasn't played many live reps BUT he has been in the environments before and won't be shellshocked by whats going on like its the first time. Faizon will be good but he really needs a year to just experience everything. Just my opinion. He will be alright. Just freshman blues

 

[stolitonic]

Yep, 2012

Manziel was a redshirt freshman in his breakout season.

 

[The_Dude]

Needs Time?

100% correct. Expectations were high and he needs time to develop.

 

[LittleVol]

It’s funny that you all think we have seen the last of Brandon.

We will need him this season.

 

[farmdogvol]

Taylor had a rough day against Bama today. The SEC chews up QBs.

Faizon just isn’t ready.

Looks like G-Mac might be more ready after that last drive. Still lots to prove.

But if G-Mac ends up being a marked improvement, it begs the question: What does our coaching staff seem to miss in QB evaluations?

 

[Volfan76]

Yall need to chill with the bashing on Brandon. Heupel has managed him about as well as he manages the 2 minute drill in a close game. It was absolutely ridiculous how little Heupel let him throw in the 3 games before Texas. His situation has been impossible .

 

[SaintLouieVol]

Give the kid a break. He’s 18 with great potential.

 

[Vol4LIFE85]

Faizon is simply not ready YET. GMac may not be very mobile but he runs our offense better. Can't pin your ears back on GMac. He will make you pay. Thats where we are at.

 

[Bigorangefan 98]

Trying to think of the last true freshman who was ready to start for a major college football program.

Peyton manning

How could coach not see Hookers potential over Milton's ? And his rationale of not letting Nico play even when the season was lost to just playing in a bowl game made no sense. So he wouldn't play freshman Nico , but starts freshman Brandon over a qb who's been here a year ? Makes no sense

 

[Bledsoevol]

True Freshman

Six million!!!!!!!!

 

[EZE]

Not time to give up on him yet. Most true freshmen QBs aren’t ready, and there’s no reason to panic over it.

Brandon may still yet be really good. But…if George plays well for the rest of the season, it won’t be here

 

[VolCalls]

Fooled Josh.

 

[brockytop]

Poorly coached.

 

[sonofUT62]

I mean, Russell at Bama is looking decent. Trevor Lawrence won the Championship as a true freshman. Jalen Hurts also started as a freshman and did well

Russell isn’t a true freshman.

 

[Jaingo]

I don’t know about any of the criticisms, but I’d be gun shy as hell after the beating last week. Especially since i just spent the last few years being the only man on the field.

18 and Humbled

 

[GetEmVols]

Here goes the typical prevent defense we like to do and then fall apart

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Peyton manning

It wasn’t game 1 was it? I forget.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

100% correct. Expectations were high and he needs time to develop.

You don’t have time to develop in the SEC now. Not QB, not really any position.

 

[Sarms58]

He is an incredible talent but isn’t ready for SEC play…

 

[The_Dude]

You don’t have time to develop in the SEC now. Not QB, not really any position.

Understand that thought process, too!

How many real game snaps has McIntire had?

 

[DaddyChad]

Shell shocked.
