    Then all you need from the qb position is the lack of game changing mistakes which the play caller can have a big hand in by the types of plays he calls. The only problem I see is if the above units don't actually pan out to be in the top three of the SEC. At that point you will need more production from the qb position. But if these units pan out to be in the top three of the SEC then the qb position doesn't have to carry much of the load.

    I wish. But experience has shown that green quarterbacks make mistakes and it only takes a few to lose a game. WR, TE, and RB can't produce if the QB isn't getting it done. These guys are athletes and they have been coached well, don't get me wrong, I think they will do all right. But game management skill, especially reading modern defenses, is something that players are not born with and coaches can't really teach . . . it has to be learned on the field.

    I bet you $20 and a Coke Zero that Crowton will implement a lot of one read passing plays early on and drastically cut down the room for him to screw up. Your running game and tight end will play a big role early on.

    I think we're all in violent agreement here except on one point - if you're a Tiger fan who has paid attention for the last few years, you're worried at least a little. Because two fumbled snaps and three interceptions per game, and a team that's wondering if you can lead them, can be the difference between 10-2 and 8-4, or (gawd-forbid) worserer.

    But, I have faith. By Jawja, I think we'll have it figgered. :thumb:

    1. If we fumble 2 snaps and throw 3 picks a game we'll be awful, no where near 8-4.

    2. What is violent agreement?
