Especially if you have a determined mindset.
Honest question. Did Maurer throw passes in HIGH SCHOOL that were risky at that level...maybe because he COULD? Doubt he threw the same exact risky ones at the next level after a quick experience with the speed of the game. Maybe Bailey already knows that?
Maurer absolutely threw a few risky ones every game. No doubt. But I’ll say not quite as many. Usually his were single covered receivers. HBs were dbl and sometimes triple coverage.Especially if you have a determined mindset.
I think Pruitt is a hell of a Coach and EXACTLY what this program needed. You won’t find a SINGLE “fire Pruitt” comment from 1vol8 when all that was going down. You will however find a post or two in support of him. However it’s not a dig to say he made a mistake and I think behind closed doors he would tell you the same. His area of expertise is on the other side of the ball. It’s no secret and It’s no different than me admitting to YOU that this or that position isn’t my area. You gotta be humble enough to know your limitations. A lot of people give coaches too much credit and too much criticism. If they were always right, hs, college and pro coaches would be among the most secure jobs in the world. Their mistakes are what gets them fired.
First of all I never said WHO it should’ve been. At that time all I said was the practice reports didn’t match what I saw and the competition was much closer than we were being told. As it played out everything I said was true. Maurer wasn’t ready but neither was Shrout. Then again it was clear week one that JG wasn’t either. I was telling everyone before the season started last year that I would start JG as well but Maurer was impressive in practice as well because he was explosive. Stop making mountains out of mole hills.
