I don't know about you folks but I can't take another year like this year. Don't get me wrong, the record overall is what I expected so far but I thought our QB's would be better. What I'm talkin about is JR or MR turning the ball over much less on our side of the field. I'm tired of spotting all these teams we play easy layups for points. It also hurts us when we can't move the ball or sustain a drive until we are desperate and about to lose. I just don't know why Flynn doesn't get more time, he can't do as bad as JR this year, no way. We are probably the only football team in history with a turnover ratio like we have and not have a losing record. We have been truly lucky this year for that reason. I don't think JR will be ready to go solo next year so we better recruit a couple of QB's and some offensive lineman and hopefully the offense won't be nearly as bad next year as they are this year. :cry:
I predicted before the season that Flynn would win the starting job...I was wrong, and early on I though JR looked really good. I still think he is good, and will be better, but I would at least like to see what Flynn can offer. From all the video I've seen of him, he appears to be more 'at ease' with being a drop-back passer. Don't get me wrong, JR has a rocket arm and good touch...when he is comfortable...but he often seems to be fidgety with his feet and that makes him more often than not over or underthrow (open) receivers.
9 games should equal some improvement from our quarterbacks. One of our QB's is a senior so he won't be here next year. The other one that's played hasn't improved one bit. That's why I think it's ridiculous that people are predicting an undefeated season next year when our quarterback can't complete a miserable 50%.
What good is a great arm if JR only throws at a reciever's feet half the time? I wish we had Robert Lane. Saban was an idiot for not working Flynn into form this year. Everyone seems to accept that we had to have an off year b/c of losing Clayton, Lavalais, Hunt, and Mauck. Why is it that USC didn't have an off year after losing a heisman QB? They won the AP poll with a Freshman. Interesting, no?
zzzzzz Folks, let's face it. JR just can't git-r-done. You would think that he would have at least shown some improvement by this point in the season. But he hasn't. He is average at BEST. Thank God for Broussard. Otherwise this would have been a total embarressment We need a quarterback that will stand in the pocket without pissin' his pants .
Obviously, Russell hasn't gotten "it" yet. All the tools seem to be there, but he can't seem to put it in place. How many times do you throw at an open receiver's feet. I'm gonna have to trust that Russell is coachable and that we have the coaches to bring out the best in him. Tonite.........pitiful. On to Friday in snuffyland. Maybe he'll light it up.
