Wake really screwed the pooch not coming into this game committed to the run. They tried to go pass heavy early on and were wholly ineffective at it. Now they've dug themselves into a hole that forces them to be pass heavy and they're gonna get blown out for it. I bet FSU scores again before half.

Wake fans chanting for the backup QB but you can't do that to the kid. If you wanna make that change wait until next week. You can't throw a guy out there against the #4 team in the country unprepared to start in a must throw situation on the scoreboard. If you do that, you gotta wave the white towel and just run your offense like you would if the game was competitive.

I don't know anything about their backup but it's a move they should consider moving forward. This starter is NOT it.

Wake misses Hartman

I don't think Hartman would matter in this game.  Although we might have 14 at least.  But FSU is significantly better this year, and our oline is significantly worse.  

A lot of Wake fans want to start the third stringer who helped beat Pitt last week.  But while he might be better, don't think it would matter.  Its akin to Clemson fans wanted to dump last years qb and trying to blame all their issues on him, only to be just as bad or worse this year with a different guy.  While their new qb is playing fairly well in Oregon.  

Changing qb's wouldn't help this week.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
