Growl

Has-been Jimmy Graham finally contributing to an offense for the first time in five seasons

loling at how the narrative has transformed from “Bryce physically isn’t capable of throwing the ball far” to “Bryce just isn’t an accurate QB, tepper should’ve read my draft blogs”

lol is the espn ticker telling you this?

THROW THE BALL FAR BRYCE DAGNUMIT

he’s been decisive with the ball today, absolutely the biggest knock on him has been holding the ball and being indecisive. this hasn’t been a bad game on his part. shame dj Chark dropped two big passes.

do people not realize how low iq when they make posts like this

lol at the people who are like “not watching the game but I am tell from that stat line/three plays I watched what’s going on, here’s my emotional rage take”

Dj Chark is such a loser lol lol at this guy calling out teammates

that’s the kind of high end QBing you wanna see to fill you with confidence and we consistently cannot just make the play down field lol at dj Chark having the audacity to call our other people

Saying you need a defensive coach because John Fox coached defense is like saying you need to draft short WRs because Steve smith was 5’9” they need an offensive mind that can consistently maximize the talents of offensive players in a league that is structurally slanted to favor offense

Things can turn around really quick in the nfl. They’re going to have to made good decisions though. every time they’ve been presented with a choice they’ve made the wrong one. They’ve got to sign free agents that plug in a contribué. They have to hit on a couple draft picks. They have to get the right coaching staff.

Probably frustrated by the grass field at Wofford, need to jeopardize those lower leg ligaments with nice some bead soaked plastic

People definitely saw it it’s just in this weird gray area with Bryce of being a double edged sword. The ability to move the pocket and throw accurately off platform comes from the same tendency that can lead to happy feet or leaving your feet when you don’t need to. people make jokes about “processing” because they don’t understand what something that isn’t “how hard does he throw the ball” means but you’ve seen that translate and at times how quickly he does things has been a detriment. He’ll come off reads too quickly, he’ll pull the ball down too fast. You can watch and see him making his way through reads like you wanted coming out, something a lot of guys at this stage in their career just cannot do-but it’s happening almost too fast at times. There are times when he comes off a guy just a heartbeat before he creates a bit of space. he’s got to settle in and trust the protection and the guys he’s throwing to more. At times he’s just got to throw it. of course…..that brings up the obvious counterpoint whether or not a coach can say “trust your help!” with a straight face. both our protection and our average yards of separation are still at the bottom of the league.

it’s incredibly common for teams to simplify the offense to the point of scripting reads when handed a rookie QB panthers have tried to put the full responsibility of the position on Young from the outset. It’s an old system with lots of tenured NFL ideas and *probably* the old, long winded parlance to convey those concepts. If you’re going to develop a QB in the traditional manner, you need to be mindful of developing him the in traditional timeframe. once it became clear that Bryce was still just a rookie QB regardless of how pro style Alabama’s offense is, they’ve spent the season trying to roll back little by little. also I’m curious if the ideological conflict between Brown and Reich has led to wasted practice time on having to navigate how concepts or verbiage translate to each other and thus who you’re teaching. It isn’t just Bryce that has been confused on assignments. We all assumed they came into the season as a unified front with a unified system but it’s clear that isn’t the case. perhaps the biggest problem with the passing game is that the QB is thinking, not playing, while the interior offensive line is getting blasted at the snap. of course the antiquated route combos haven’t helped-LOL at the triple hooks they ran on 3rd and 10 vs TB

this also further highlights how a team president is a good idea. Put the barrier up and keep guys from the temptation of going to the owner with this stuff

it’s probably not really as scandalous as it seems, you stick any group of men together in a competitive environment where their dignity is on the line and then things go south and people’s egos start being bruised, this is usually the kind of thing that happens. Especially in coaching, this kind of thing is present even when you’re winning. but the losing and the way they’ve lost-where the offense hasn’t just been bad, but legitimately dysfunctional, where a systematic disconnect exists between the coaches, philosophy, and players, along with the talent deficiencies, is going to inflame these issues to the point where something that usually stays private is now going public and making the situation worse.

this offense is so antiquated

lol so you don’t even have to challenge a call anymore, you just take the timeout and tell the refs to reconsider?

it’s almost a relief when other teams score just so we can get some decent field position this defense has been okay but they don’t take the ball away and we always start each drive on our own 10. obviously you’ve got to hold the offense primarily accountable for it’s failures, but this defense doesn’t make splash plays either makes it easy to play defense when the other team is backed up and you can pin your ears back this team as a whole is bland

aside from Florida st whom most would agree without their starting QB that Georgia would beat, which literally is the point, all of those games would be toss ups There was no good answer here but they were consistent with the philosophy they’ve traditionally used, which is all you can really ask. idk why people here are struggling to come so hard to come to terms with it. Without their starting QB, Florida st was not one of the best four teams-and they proved that while Texas and Alabama won convincingly. it seems most would be okay with defying the established norm and general trust in the system to stick it to the school they don’t like, which is a great little commentary on people as a whole.

looks like they’re wearing the color rush unis

How is adding up the numbers at season’s end any different than ranking by number throughout the season? Teams still know what the standard is and would structure their schedules accordingly.

The system doesn’t work like this and saying that the committee should retroactively decide on a whim that it now should completely destroys any credibility in it humans can endure flawed systems as long as those system are consistently applied.

I could lay out why Alabama‘s resume’ is mathematically superior to FSU’s but it really doesn’t matter Florida state doesn’t have its best player at the most important position, and that’s the question being asked: who are the best four teams? that’s the same question the committee has been consistent on nobody believes without Jordan Travis that Florida state is one of the best four teams, and in their chance to prove it, they underwhelmed. do they deserve a chance to prove we’re all just mean haters and make us eat our crow for thinking that? Sure, but that game isn’t being played because the system is flawed. until the expansion, all the committee can do is apply consistent logic, and they did. most everyone believes Texas and Alabama would beat Florida state without their best QB, they have the resume’ and the recent performance to instill confidence in that assertion, and that’s all it comes down to. it has nothing to do with the SEC. Had Travis not been hurt, they would be in.

you’re suggesting a system where qualifying is centered around a points system based strictly on mathematical accomplishments. an undefeated season in the SEC is harder than an undefeated season in the ACC, and especially a lot harder than the MAC. those non-con games would then all shift to gimmies as teams wanted to ease the road to undefeated the only reason we’re even having this discussion is because Alabama and Texas played each other; the only reason Alabama and Texas scheduled each other is because it was a boon to each team’s SOS.
