Steve, I think some people missed the point on Crowton's MAIN weakness but you hit it perfectly. Was Crowton a great OC? LOL! But was Crowton a horrible OC? Doubtful! Where Crowton is skewered by the Oregon and BYU who suffered under his "QB tutorage" is really his QB coaching and the FACT that he NEVER EVER developed a QB on his own despite having years to do so...didn't at BYU...didn't at Oregon....obviously didn't at LSU. And when your QB play is lousy, to be honest, it is hard to call plays that work because no one respects the pass on a consistent basis. IF I had to grade the competence og Gary Crowton on his 2 functions, I would say as an OC, maybe a C+ or even a B-. BUT as a QB coach, a pure F!
Man, I'm gonna have to see more film on Rettig because this kid looks pretty good, he was looking off receivers and his awareness in the pocket is outstanding.
What id like to see is both him and Rettig in the backfield with 2 wide outs. if they both can make plays that will drive DC nuts will he run, throw or block. To me that would be the ultimate play action pass.
Let the speculation begin. Ahh, off seasons. CLM has a way of wasting offensive talent, so i'll believe it when I see it.
what i gather, these are the two most highly rated quarterbacks clm has signed to date. if he can't find a way to develop at least one of them into an above average college quarterback, a light would need to be turned on that something has to change!!!! up to now, it just seems more of the incompetent same in regard to quarterback development and offensive strategy.
Thanks for the video, Tigertap! His throwing motion is so fluid, quick, and effortless. He reminds me of Newton or a younger Michael Vick in that respect.
