I definitely think that's most of the problem for the last two years. Bad line blocking coupled with inconsistent passing accuracy. None of our receivers have good numbers and they seem to have trouble getting separation. Mauer the incoming freshman is said to have to play behind a bad offensive line in HS and hopefully can make things happen.
Mauer will not play this season. JG is a fine QB. It used to be the most popular player on the team was the backup QB, now, it's the backups backup who's never played or practiced in college, hailed as the next coming of Hayzues Manning. No QB, not even Peyton, can play from their back, with guys in their faces before they even get into their drop, blindsided multiple times a quarter, let alone a game. Want proof, check Peyton's rookie NFL season, he wasn't great, or even good. Once the line improved, his excellence shined. JG isn't Peyton, everyone for the love of God quit holding him and every other QB who's here, or coming here, to that unrealistic, incapable and totally unfair standard. Pruitt will play who he thinks is the best for the team and him, his career, his financial future, which is much larger than mine. If he's willing to gamble 3, 4, 5, 8 million dollars on him, he must think he's a good bet. Sorry, rant complete.
As I said last year, I'll say this year. This team goes the way the offensive line goes. With few exceptions, that is a rule in football, I didn't come up with it. It is known.
