depth chart: Nixon now No. 2 UL quarterback behind Jennings

[axg8750]

One of the biggest problems we have in the passing game is giving our quarterback the time needed for the play to develop. An effective offensive line makes an average quarterback look great.

I agree that the o-line played absolutely atrocious Saturday. The only thing that they did consistently was earn false start penalties.

However, there were several times that Jennings had enough time to check down two or three options and didn't pull the trigger. I am not sure if he was just being cautious or if the recievers were not getting open but there were several plays where Jennings had the time he needed to find a reciever.

How do you explain 2011-2014?

OL, DL, WRs, QBs and coordinators were all light years better than what we had until this game.

That enough for you?

I was asking MAT who says talent is not the issue.

[KajunKrazy]

WTF is a talent like Ray doing on the bench instead of playing another position? This borders on insanity

May be another potion. Saw a few scrimmages and a handful of practices. IBO he will never play QB at this level.

talent and coaching - Baldwinesque

Define esque.

I ask because at HUD's worst he was still 33% better than Baldwin's best.

Broadway coming from Houston system, Stewart was underrated DC, Bustle players, landing Alonzo Harris and Jay Johnson (widely accepted as one of the best football minds to every coach here), and turnover margin.

Pretty easy actually.

So basically better talent.

We haven't seen Hud's worst.

We haven't seen Hud's worst.

To date we have.

So basically better talent.

Better fundamentals, good fortune, better assistants.

Better fundamentals, good fortune, better assistants.

On a graph, our fundamentals are declining in lock step with the quality of our assistants, as is fortunes, donations, and recruiting ability. The only thing going up on the graph, is available tickets and tailgating, and Scott Farmer's comfort level in the Sun Belt.

That offense would do nothing in this era of college football. Ray can't throw. Period. They can work with him as much as they want. His arm is nothing close to the other QBs, his accuracy is very bad, his decision making is worse. He is not a D1 QB. He's a terrific athlete that needs to be utilized else where.

Btw, do you really have faith in this staff to develop a project QB? If so, where's the evidence?

CAN'T
CAN'T
CAN'T

[zephyr]

Do you trust your practice eye after what you predicted from the offense? Should we?

LOL.

I was comparing him to Desormeaux and I think its a valid comparison. Des couldn't throw either and was moved around because of it. That offense you speak about, was leading the SBC in yards and was amongst the top 50 in the country before injuries derailed it. It was a zone option offense with lots of playaction and LG running the seams and Jason Chery making plays all over. It was a spread offense, not the wishbone
