I agree with everything except your last sentence. Every coach will tell you that you learn more from the losses than the wins. When you lose a game it can humble your team and you have the opportunity to go back and improve on the mistakes you made.
You learn from honest losses...not lack of efforts. And you don’t GET BETTER from the actual act of losing...but how you step up afterwards. A win achieves much more...compare BYU to Mississippi State. You owe it to every player busting their hump out there to play with the best NOW...not later. They’re not running a training academy.

They see you not playing the most conducive to winning games and they ain’t signing up for the resulting circus. Play the best NOW...not the best MAYBE LATER.
I get it...just saying if kids dont see improvement with a 5th year QB. They relate that directly to development or lack of

Or they replace him. Book hasn’t been written.
Very true we wont know anything till game time..coaches are being super quiet about QBs. Which to me is smart... if it JG. It quiets the negative..if it someone else it slows hype..

I really don’t believe now that the coaches had the options we screamed (yes that includes me) at fevered pitches last season. Whole team was a jumbled mess until they put it together for Mississippi State. That effort falls apart and we prolly don’t have many choices at QB to bicker over...amongst all the other position groups. But they played to win and they eventually did.

Cant argue with that...no backup QB was ready and never should have had to play...it was a mess to start for sure

Literally exactly what I said. I said you have the opportunity to correct the mistakes you made whenever you lose. Losing and stepping up after losing go hand in hand. You can’t step up after a loss if you never lose. No reason to get upset over semantics. You act like I was saying habitually losing is ok. I simply stated that you learn more from the losses than the wins. I’m not wrong in saying that. Why do you think we all remember the heartbreak losses, not only with our Vols but in our own experiences? They stick in your head more and you don’t won’t that feeling again so you try to not let it happen again.

I see your point, but we gleaned more from the Mississippi State win than any loss on the schedule last season.

To be fair to you, I took the comments similarly. When you talk about losing in the context of high risk taking due to the Covid-19 season, then that sound like multiple and maybe majority loses. The negativity around that situation will trump any lessons learned due a loss.
