Yep...at my desk right now. I've been in a lot of threads. This bother you too?

What opinion have I stated is more important than anyone else's, and more importantly why do you care? As far as I can tell your cage has not been rattled by me. Or do you have something poignant to add to the discussion at hand? Do you feel left out?

The way he talks to people I seriously doubt he has anything poignant to add to any discussion.

Your right Boro. I am gonna bow out now and just let it all play out. I just wish everyone would leave the players alone.

Much easier to turn on amateur kids than admit you're wrong about a mercenary coach making millions per year. Couldn't be him.

Just how involved are player's daddies in day to day team business and their son's team participation? Seems to me mommas and daddies shouldn't be involved in team business and day to day operations.

Worked okay for Craig James. Ask Mike Leach.

You talk to enough people around here you hear this same story over and over. Once you reconcile it with our turnover of key players you start to see a pattern.


Everything is fine. Seriously.

Dormady doesnt fit it either

Yeah. He does. The west coast spread is malleable. LOTS of teams run it without a running QB and without depending on the zone read.

But if you are going to run it with a passing QB... WR's have to do their jobs. Dormady is completing 59% of his passes while depending on Fr and Sophs at WR. They're missing assignments and making mistakes. If they learn and improve... he's a 65% passer in THIS offense with a good TD/INT ratio. But he doesn't have the legs to compensate for a bad OL or WR's like Dobbs could... and neither does JG.

They have also practiced more under center based on multiple reports. Scott seems to really want to do it more. That would help the O immensely. The OL could just get physical rather than trying to use perfect "technique". Kelly could get some downhill runs. It would set QD up for some good play action passes.

he also lacks the fundamentals of staring at his first receiver and throwing off his backfoot every other throw...

Should have gave QB and OC to Sonny Cumbie --- both Canales and Scotts salary together could have brought him in

You are one of a dozen or more people to say this. My response followed by diversion or silence is always the same.

Prove it. But make sure you know what you're talking about. Focusing on an area because Jones' O's route trees put 3 receivers in that window... is not "staring receivers down".

I am willing to bet that he doesn't throw off his backfoot "every other throw"... or very often at all except when under pressure. EVERY QB throws off his back foot or without a good base some times. One of QD's better completions of the year was thrown off his back foot about 20 yds down field for a big gainer to Wolf. When it becomes a problem is when you do it and it turns into INT's because you get nothing on the throw.

The first INT vs UF was thrown off his back foot... toward a stumbling RB... with Jack Jones in his lap. Don't deny it before you go rewatch it. The INT on the goal line was a receiver not completing his route correctly. The ball was out quickly from a good base. The pick 6 was thrown flat footed and again with Jack Jones in his lap. There ARE situations when a QB cannot step into a throw but need to make a throw.

The INT vs ISU was a terrible play and read... but he neither threw off his back foot nor did he stare the receiver down.

You can prove yourself right. Since he does it "every other play" then it should be pretty easy to give the game, quarter, and time left on the clock of a few examples.

Most people just get mad. Some will go with the "everyone saw it" answer. Hopefully you aren't too proud to either prove what you claim or admit that it isn't true.

Ainge addressed all of this today. He broke down all of QD's snaps this season and came away very impressed.

You're right...they won't.

There are some issues he needs to fix. One is that sometimes he makes a pre-read then sticks with it. He's thrown into coverage a handful of times. All of them appear to be cases where he thought the alignment was giving him one thing when actually it was something else. His "almost pick" against UF was a MUCH worse play than the one that got picked. He expected MC to be open. He probably was every time they practiced it. But on that particular play, UF's DB's made the MISTAKE of both going with MC. They were probably coached to expect that play to him. Palmer who was supposed to rub MC's defender off... was left standing wide open. Not a "fundamentals" problem... but a poor decision probably based on a faulty pre-snap read.

Jack Jones has played so poorly this year that one wonders why he keeps seeing game time.

I really make a conscious effort not to trash players. They're doing their best and don't need it. But I agree and have wondered out loud here why Boulware isn't starting. We've seen Boulware and Jones both perform well... but for some reason Jones isn't playing well at all this year. The aggression and balance we saw from him as a Fr seems to have been traded for size... without gaining productive power.
